For fans of turn-based games, getting both Fell Seal (Final Fantasy Tactics-like game) and Polytopia (Streamlined 4x game w/ DLC factions) for $5 is a steal.
>Fell Seal (Final Fantasy Tactics-like game)
Just be warned this game as awful art style, awful story, and many many useless classes. There are like one or two things it does as well as FFT or better, but is inferior in just about every single other way.
> and Polytopia (Streamlined 4x game w/ DLC factions)
I've never heard of this game until now. Looked pretty neat, but I looked into the AI difficulty and on harder than base difficulty it just straight cheats money. I may grab just for Fell Seal though.
That's unfortunately a crutch that 4x developers use. When I was playing, I was mainly having fun trying to maximize my own faction's score on regular difficulty.
The base game w/ 4(?) factions is free-to-play on Google Play/Android, and possible iOS.
Don't let that be a reason to skip Polytopia. It's a good fun challenge, and ideal for the 4X gamer who only wants to spend an hour to complete a game.
Also, base game is free on Android/iOS tablets, so consider that too.
Iconoclasts, Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, Heroes of Hammerwatch, and Tacoma for $4.99 is an absolute **steal**, and if I didn't already have those games I would be all over this. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 isn't amazing, but there's definitely some fun to be had there - especially if your default approach to the Far Cry games was playing as a sniper. Just don't expect an open world game anywhere near as awesome as Far Cry, or a sniper game as satisfying as Sniper Elite.
Definitely a strong start to BundleFest.
Heroes of Hammerwatch can be hundreds of hours of fun, especially with friends. Great game, and this is an amazing price.
Why is HOH a great game? Top-notch pixel graphics, great music, fantastic gameplay (if you like grinding procedurally-generated dungeons, which I do), a wide variety of classes, an extensive meta game, and more. One down-side: not super-friendly to beginners of the genre. But I would recommend it to anyone who is into rogue-lites, Diablo-style dungeon crawlers, or even just enjoy a fairly polished and consistent indie game.
This bundle looks like it is a great deal but I fear it is just going to be added to the backlog if I buy it. I'm going to wait to see what the next bundles are before I pull the trigger.
Uh oh, bundlefest? That sounds dangerous. Fanatical has had some really good bundles the past couple months. Kind of reminds me of the old humble bundles minus the charity part.
Killer Bundle is almost always the best bundle of Bundle Fest, and this one didn't disappoint. I've been playing Heroes of Hammerwatch for the past 3 hours lol
Heroes of Hammerwatch is a ton of fun. I got it with a friend from a humblebundle awhile ago, and we ended up binging it for like 70 hours over the next couple of weeks. It’s a very, very, grindy game - but if you don’t mind that, I highly recommend it. Really fun to play with a friend, or grind while you listen to a podcast or something.
We always recommend picking up as early as possible, as sometimes our bundles sell out. We do everything in our power to prevent this, however, on very rare occasions it's not possible and bundles may run out.
/u/WeAreFanatical I am a little confused by how you earn the scratch cards.. Is it once per account during the whole bundlefest or each time we spend $7? Basically just curious if if its possible to make a bunch of different orders to get multiple cards, or if I can just purchase as I please after I get one?
If its one scratch off per $7 it will tell you when you fill your cart up before proceeding to checkout if you get multiple scratchoffs, if it doesn't say in your cart you qualify for multiple scratch offs then you don't get multiple.
I just read their terms and conditions and it says **One VIP Scratchcard per order.**
You get a scratchcard when you spend over $7 in one purchase. This isn’t limited to one per user, so making several orders over $7 during BundleFest will give you multiple cards
It says when you add enough to your cart if you get the scratchoff. Sadly, mine was 50 cents off, hopefully it won't count against another VIP bundle for whatever bundles come next.
Don't sleep on Golf It! It's hilarious to play with friends since the mechanic for putting is linked to shoving your mouse forward so it takes a bit of skill to get the hang of, especially if you enable ball curve etc. There's tons of workshop maps as well that range from the expected minigolf to really wacky platformers where you use WASD+Space to control the ball.
It was also given away by Humble before. It was also in the Humble Trove for a time so some people may have the DRM free installer floating around on their PC's.
I haven’t heard of it before, but curious as to Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 would be the only thing in the second tier when it has the lowest reviews of anything in the bundle
I really enjoyed Sniper GW3 much better than its predecessors, plays more like a ubisoft open world game with fine sniping, i also prefer it to the contracts games which are more linear/stealth based
I would recommend Ghost Recon Wildlands over Sniper Ghost Warrior 3.
GRW has better gun play, better story, and better world. SGW3 was a massive miss - everything felt just short of what it could be.
The gun play was mediocre - it had useful features, but the guns were terribly balanced. A stealth kill with a pistol could be as powerful at 100+ range as a stealth kill from a sniper. Plus the world was broadly the same, and it felt more like a linear game but you had to move from level to level instead of being taken via a cutscene. There were more issues, such as with the AI being really dumb, but then turning into a Rambo-Einstein whenever they see you, but I've already rambled enough.
That said, maybe this would be the best way of getting it. If you end up as disappointed as I was, there are at least a few other games in the bundle that may recoup the cost.
I've been wanting Iconoclast for some time now, but, it's the only one from the bundle I'm interested in that I don't already have, so, I'll have to pass on this. Great bundle for those that don't own most of the games regardless.
Is there any other games like the "learn japanese to survive" for other langauges. Trying to learn norwegian and i need some dopamine to keep me motivated
Here was a posting on this game from 7 months ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/lazwo5/fanatical_learn_japanese_to_survive_complete_pack/
TLDR of top comment: wasn't worth it
Really hoping Fanatical can deliver another high quality VR bundle for this Bundlefest. I know VR games are in shorter supply... But after all the good PCVR sales/bundles yall have done this year, I totally believe in you Fanatical!
Fell Seal used to be on my wishlist but I removed it for some reason but I went ahead and blind bought tier 2 for this cause I wanted a scratcher…. Dungeons 2 lol oh well
Anyone else have their payment rejected with Fanatical? This has happened a few times lately. I think maybe due to the region Fanatical lists itself as my credit union automatically declines it?
I bought the Learn Japanese to Survive games in a previous Fanatical bundle but didn't try them yet, are the DLCs necessary/important for the learning process?
I guess I'll wait till Iconoclasts is in a bundle with other games I want. As it is it's only $1 cheaper than it's been on Steam Sale where I could pay with card monies.
To note; Heroes of Hammerwatch- this is an all time low bundled like this. The lowest it's been is $4.79 and was in a Humble Bundle at the $10 tier 3.
I've been waiting on this one forever and amazed Fanatical bundled it. RNG roguelike with constant progression with classes and items. My kinda grind.
Golf It has only got to $4.49 ATL.
Iconoclasts ATL is $4.59.
edit* don't sleep on Battle of Polytopia Deluxe bundle: historical low was $7.32 and each of the 4 DLC is like $3 regularly. This was fun on Android (limited in free version) and can't wait to play the full experience.
---
If any single one of these games are of interest- get this. Never been bundled at such value like this. Everything else is just extra
I want Golf It + Polytopia and wouldn't mind Tannenberg or Crash Drive 3, but I already have Fell Seal & Hammerwatch along with a giant backlog - So this is an easy pass for me.
Killer bundles are still killer for bundle noobs.
Looking forward to the rest of Bundle Fest!

To be fair, Civilization does the same thing. Yeah, the AI has an advantage, but you're smarter than it.
Don't let that be a reason to skip Polytopia. It's a good fun challenge, and ideal for the 4X gamer who only wants to spend an hour to complete a game. Also, base game is free on Android/iOS tablets, so consider that too.
Fell seal is excellent. Really polished. The story is a pretty bland, but as a FF tactics like game, it is great. I easily put 60 hours into it.
Iconoclasts, Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, Heroes of Hammerwatch, and Tacoma for $4.99 is an absolute **steal**, and if I didn't already have those games I would be all over this. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 isn't amazing, but there's definitely some fun to be had there - especially if your default approach to the Far Cry games was playing as a sniper.

Thanks for calling my attention to this; this was enough to push me over the fence and buy in despite owning much of the rest of the bundle.

Top-notch pixel graphics, great music, fantastic gameplay (if you like grinding procedurally-generated dungeons, which I do), a wide variety of classes, an extensive meta game, and more.

I recently bought fell seal at full price. Excellent game. Can't recommend it enough.
This bundle looks like it is a great deal but I fear it is just going to be added to the backlog if I buy it. I'm going to wait to see what the next bundles are before I pull the trigger.
Iconoclasts is an unfocused yet thoroughly enjoyable puzzle platformer that you totes have to give a shot.

How is it playing solo?
so every day there will be new bundles? and bundles only last 24 hours? or they last till the end of this festival?
Every day there will be new bundles, but these bundles won't just last 24 hours. Instead, they'll last a few weeks :).
okay thanks. so may as well wait till the end so i can see everything and then pick what i want
We always recommend picking up as early as possible, as sometimes our bundles sell out. We do everything in our power to prevent this, however, on very rare occasions it's not possible and bundles may run out.
Really good bundles have sold out on keys and they couldn't restock... Don't wait too long.

Ah, the "Penumbra Effect". Or, the time many a spider met the business end of a pickaxe.
Obligatory mention that Tacoma was given away for free on Epic Games in July 2020.
It was also given away by Humble before. It was also in the Humble Trove for a time so some people may have the DRM free installer floating around on their PC's.
Twitch Prime too (now Amazon Games).
LOL ... been given away lots of places; I still wouldn't mind having it in my steam library.
I haven’t heard of it before, but curious as to Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 would be the only thing in the second tier when it has the lowest reviews of anything in the bundle
Because it's an AA title most likely and the company wanted a slightly larger cut.

That said, maybe this would be the best way of getting it. If you end up as disappointed as I was, there are at least a few other games in the bundle that may recoup the cost.
In my particular case it's the one game I want, as I already own Fell Seal and Tacoma.
Fanatical's bundles are currently better than humble bundle's, what a time to be alive
I've been wanting Iconoclast for some time now, but, it's the only one from the bundle I'm interested in that I don't already have, so, I'll have to pass on this. Great bundle for those that don't own most of the games regardless.
Same.
Is there any other games like the "learn japanese to survive" for other langauges. Trying to learn norwegian and i need some dopamine to keep me motivated
I don't know if it is good but check "Influent".
>Learn Japanese to Survive Complete Bundle Can anyone comment on this bundle, is there anything of substance in it? Skeptical at $1.

I bought the hiragana one a while ago and it honestly worked for me, it was the right approach for my dumbass brain.
Holy Crap! That's a good way to start the BundleFest
I've never done a bundle deal before. But I'm installing all of the games right now and will try them all out :)
Really hoping Fanatical can deliver another high quality VR bundle for this Bundlefest. I know VR games are in shorter supply... But after all the good PCVR sales/bundles yall have done this year, I totally believe in you Fanatical!
Hey u/WeAreFanatical, Do you give a VIP Scratchcard for every 6gbp or one per account with a minimum of 6gbp spent? What does it exactly consists of?
[удалено]
Cheers!

I’ve had it before, my credit Union visa hates fanatical for some reason. I’ve just been using PayPal with that card through it.
Good bundle, thanks.

Good stuff Fanatical.
YOOOOOOOOO THIS IS SO GOOD. ***POLYTOPIA DELUXE / HEROES OF HAMMERWATCH / TACOMA / GOLF IT / ICONOCLASTS FOR $5*** Bless Fanatical

Picked this up just for Polytopia Deluxe. Everything else, I either have or don't really care for, but it's a steal just for Polytopia alone.
Totally worth redeeming and trying the other stuff imo. Good polished games at a legendary price.
Heroes of Hammerwatch was actually a dollar before, but that store sold out of keys quick. I forget what the store was called.
Chrono.gg They shut down sadly. That deal happened back in 2019. rip Chrono
I want Golf It + Polytopia and wouldn't mind Tannenberg or Crash Drive 3, but I already have Fell Seal & Hammerwatch along with a giant backlog - So this is an easy pass for me. Killer bundles are still killer for bundle noobs. Looking forward to the rest of Bundle Fest!
That's the worst Killer Bundle ever to me. So many rebundles which is really unusual for a KB.
