The 2013 Steam Indie Spring Sale Is Here!

[V8 Ninja]

4.99 for amnesia? That's less than a cent for every moment you feel too scared to go on...

"I've got 500 scary moments but money ain't one"?

EDIT:

Who's the female character on the right in the picture?

That would be the Goddess of Time from Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy [http://store.steampowered.com/app/214830/]. Quite a fun game and a funny excursion from traditional RPGs.

Anyways, I'm not quite interested yet in the sale but I know there will eventually be something I want.

So, what does everybody recommend? There's a lot here and I, for one, don't want to be all of these things!!!

Well, there's a lot on sale. It would help us recommend stuff if you'd tell us what games you enjoy. Would you kindly list a few of your favorite games so we can get a feel for what you like?

Actually, I was thinking it would benefit everybody if people said which ones they've really enjoyed in the past. I like too many games so I'm open for anything thoroughly interesting and well done.

Well, bastion is a dead ringer here. Hack and slasher with one of most sexy voices on the planet. Hack and slash kind of deal.

You can also check the featured ones on the main page of the sale. I liked recettear, but it has to do with the fact it feels so utterly charming. Probably even saccharine. It's a game where you(recette) own a shop and sell things a typical RPG character would want. Teh goal of it is to pay off a huge debt left by your father. Yo ucan do this by buying things and selling them off for a higher price, or venturing outside of town by hiring a mercenary to help you out. Haven't got far in it, but there's a demo if yo uwant to try the game out.

Awesomenauts is a Moba game in 2D, which about sums it up I think.

Giana sisters twisted dreams. I quite like this. A platformer with a dual world mechanic. It looks quite good. Though the dual world mechanic has more to do with the 2 entities you play as, which is one girl. Not getting the extras is an easy way of playing the game, but if you do decide to get those, you're in for a challenge. Extra modes can be unlocked in-game. One of them is a hardcore mode where you go through all levels in one sitting.

As another tip, there are some games that have gotten a wtf from totalbiscuit. He shows you the gameplay of the game in question and comments over it, what his thoughts are basically.

Captcha: stinky feet. Thanks for reminding me thatI have to do something about my feet, captcha...

Picked up the Bit trap series and Deadlight, oh and I highly suggest people pick up Giana sisters to anyone that's interested.

Alrighty, then, here's a few of my personal favorites:
Terraria (Currently $2.50): Like 2D Minecraft with more RPG elements including multiple bosses and rare gear and spells
Recettear (Currently $6.79): A JRPG based around managing an item shop. Has a demo which is a good representation of the whole game.
Giana Sisters (Currently $7.50): A fun platformer with a pretty neat twist. Also has a demo
Guns of Icarus Online (Currently $5): Tactical Airship combat with up to four players per airship and up to four airships per side. A bit rough around the edges, but still pretty fun if you have friends to play with.
FTL (Currently $5): If you like roguelikes and dying horribly in deep space, you'll enjoy this one.
Audiosurf/Beat Hazard/Symphony ($2.50/$2.50/$3.39): All of these have a general theme of 'Playing with your music'. Audiosurf is a puzzle game type thing, Beat Hazard is a twin stick shooter and Symphony is a bullet hell type thing, but if you enjoy one, you'll probably enjoy all of them.
Nation Red (Currently $2): Fun multiplayer topdown zombie killer. Not terribly deep, but at $2 a copy it's good for fun with up to four friends.
Jamestown (Currently $3.39): A top down bullet hell that's very well put together. Allows up to four same-screen players if you have a place to set that up.
World of Goo (Currently $2.50): A fun puzzle game involving building bridges and such and quirky humor.
Space Pirates and Zombies (Currently $2.50): A space game that's difficult to summarize, but quite a bit of fun. A bit too simple to be called a 4X, but too complex to be called a shooter.
Cave Story+ (Currently $3.99): A fun Platformer that's surprisingly difficult at times.
Psychonauts (Currently $4.99): Look, it's Psychonauts, okay? You've probably already heard of it.
Dungeons of Dredmor (Currently $2.50): A fun roguelike where you will die horribly while exploring dungeons with skills like Veganism and Mathomancy


That should be enough to get you started. Hopefully you'll enjoy at least one of the above, although if you follow the Humble Bundles you probably already have quite a few of them.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think Recettear is more my bag here. And Psychonauts, if I didn't already own it. It's also one of the best games ever, I think.

I'd rather pay for the full package, but that's just me.

 

[Bad Jim]

What about Dark Souls? It's 50% off. I've heard conflicting stories about the quality of the PC port. I do have a 360 controller if the keyboard layout is an issue. I'd like to give it a go but I don't want another Devil May Cry 3 (PC port is awful) Is it worthwhile?

 

[The Scollard]

Personally picked Half-Minute Hero, Audio Surf and Hotline Miami. I've been putting it off getting HM for awhile, but since it's 5$, instant buy. Oh, does any body have any bandages, my wallet is hemorrhaging badly. Hang in there little guy, we still have to get Awesomenauts.

 

[Raggedstar]

Braid is on sale for $4. I love platformers, yet I've never played Braid.

I think I must change that.

Other than that, most of the games I like on sale are either too good for my shitty PC (look, it runs Portal 1 fine on medium but nothing more, seizures whenever it plays Amnesia, and can't play Limbo at all. That bad) or I already have it.

 

[BartyMae]

I was literally just gifted Binding of Isaac yesterday. Have somehow played it for twenty hours already...just picked up the expansion!

 

[The Great JT]

No Recattear, Breath Of Death VII, Cthulu Saves The World or Super House Of Dead Ninjas? No sale, Hale!

 

[weirdee]

"Need DLC? Why not buy entire games?"

 

[putowtin]

so many games
so little money

.... must resist!
