‘Groupees’ Be Mine Anniversary Bundle

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 information on this bundle, feel free to contact either myself or the groupees team.
