Yawma LLC, publishers of the large catalogue of
Groupees bundles, have released their most recent endeavour: the
Be Mine Anniversary
bundle. This one containing a fair number of games and as per usual,
multiple bonuses to go with them as well as multiple tiers available for
purchase.
This bundle does seem like quite a considerable one as
at the highest tier; upon writing this, it contains 6 soundtracks and an
impressive figure of 12 games.
Beginning the
Be Mine Anniversary bundle in the first tier ($1-5);
Eschalon Book II, an expansive title and sequel to the 2007
Eschalon Book I.
The game is a strategic take on the RPG genre, in a similar light to PC
games of the 90s except with a lot more additions and a far larger
amount of gameplay to enjoy. It's not only the addition of new game
aspects and mechanics that makes
Eschalon Book II feel
different; graphically, it also appears as a far fresher and more modern
title all while allowing the player to decide the exact pace of their
own story and keeping the RPG traditions and customs that are so vividly
evident in titles that define the RPG genre.
iBomber Defense Pacific
is next. The game is of the tower-defense genre set in a World War II
theme as players tackle different missions and objectives in an attempt
to prevent the ruination of their freedom. While
iBomber Defense Pacific
is a tower-defense game, there are skill-trees that can be assigned
'victory-points' to give better bonuses within the respective categories
to which they're given.
Following that is
Livalink,
an onslaught/survival game in which the player defends themselves
against a strange and hostile alien race called the 'Progeny'. As you
fight through ever-more difficult waves there will be access to better
weapons, upgrades and skills. New rooms and areas are available for
unlock within the map by using credits gained through getting kills and
combos, these new areas also help to escape the
Progeny's offensive.
Livalink is similar in a way to
Call of Duty: Black Ops
rather well-known Zombie gamemode, saying that, though, there seems to
be more to do; it differs in equipment and enemies and includes several
systems for upgrading to continue and vary the game as survival becomes
increasingly tough.
Finally, amongst the main games of the tier 1 option we have
Party of SIN, an appealing and well-done take on the 7 deadly sins.
Party of SIN
is a platformer game and in it, players will have to ensure they use
the varying talents of each of their party's members, switching around to any of
the other sins seamlessly. There is a 4-player co-operative mode which
seems a very wise choice for a game of this style, players are able to
switch around to the characters they prefer most and work together
better.
A
Be Mine Anniversary
Special Edition EP is included with this tier that contains a few
different songs of multiple genres: Electronic, Rock, Hard Rock and
Hip-hop. 3 soundtracks:
The Last Nova & Saul EP; a collection of punk/semi-hard rock tracks,
Recalibrated Vol. 1; psychedelic mellow electronica with the inclusion of various ethnic instruments and low-key bass, and
Square Tactics; rhymes and rapping laced amongst beats. Along with bonus games:
Major Mayhem, Dungeons: The Dark Lord and a movie;
T82 Super Sonic Tonemaker, that looks simply bizarre but excellent.
Needless to say, this is only the lowest tier and it barely scratches the surface. Within the $5 minimum tier
are the games:
Men of War: Assault Squad, Two Worlds II, Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes and
Planets Under Attack as well as a mystery game and a couple of video game OSTs.
Anyone interested is free to
check the groupees page
with around a week left on this deal as of posting. For more
