Next week’s games look great.

I’m such a sucker for artsy games.

rikudou, 9 months ago

Do you want me to tag you next week when I post about the new free games?

lazycouchpotato, 9 months ago

Greatly appreciate it, but seeing as I’m chronically online, I don’t think I’ll need it :)

Aside from maybe 1 week, I’ve collected all the Epic freebies.

reric88, 10 months ago to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Wow, I remember playing this waaaaaay back in the day on PC. And then I heard it was coming to the 3ds and got it there.

Gullible, 10 months ago to games in Cave Story+ free on EGS

If you haven’t played it, do it. It is to metroidvanias what Mario is to platformers. Ridiculously influential game.

Iunnrais, 10 months ago to games in Cave Story+ free on EGS

I played the crap out of the original release. Does + offer anything more than higher resolution graphics?

MrScottyTay, 10 months ago

I might be wrong but I think it has a different translation script

LapGoat, 10 months ago

it has remastered music aswell iirc

M500, 10 months ago to PCGaming in [Epic Games] Cave Story+ | Free / 100% Off

This is an amazing game. I played it a bunch. My understanding is that this game was made by since Japanese student by himself.

It was a free game, but they remastered it at least once, but I think they did it twice.

It’s a Metroidvania style game.

It has a near mechanic where you’re weapon gets more powerful the longer you go without getting hit.

It’s pretty easy to power up your gun, so it’s not a huge loss if you do get hit. The music is also pretty decent.

The original is free and imo is way better.

DoubleCat, 10 months ago

Care to elaborate pls, why is it better?

bungle_in_the_jungle, 10 months ago to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Calling this the “most well-known indie game of all time” is a hell of a stretch if you ask me.

rikudou, 10 months ago

Yep, I never heard about it before.

artichoke, 10 months ago

Yup, but when the game launcued in 2004 it was true. These days it definitely isn’t the most well known but back in 2004, cave story was considered a huge success for the indie game scene

TwilightVulpine, 10 months ago to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Amazing game. I'd recommend it for everyone.

aaronstc, 10 months ago to gamedeals in [Epic Games] Cave Story+ | Free / 100% Off

If it’s free on Epic, why are you linking to Steam?

123, 10 months ago

Some people prefer to look at the Steam page for reviews, description, etc.

aaronstc, 10 months ago

That makes sense.

yanyuan, 10 months ago to gamedeals in [Epic Games] Cave Story+ | Free / 100% Off

A repeat, but it’s a good game.
Next week’s SpellDrifter looks like it’s not my cup of tea (Steam link).

sederx, 10 months ago to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

duplicate?

The_Hunted_One, 10 months ago

Doesn’t appear to be, at least from Beehaw’s perspective. It’s possible you saw another post on a separate instance, as it was crossposted to several instances.

sederx, 10 months ago

Oh no I meant the game was already given for free in the past

SomethingBurger, 10 months ago

Yes, from December 2020.

Shrimpbread, 10 months ago to gaming in Caves Story+ free on Epic Games

Great game, and from my knowledge the publisher screwed over the developer so its not like He’s getting less money for it being free on Epic

Landmammals, 10 months ago to games in Introducing the Epic First Run program

Remember when Epic opened and started a huge astroturfing campaign against Valve for taking 30% commission?

Years later the Epic store is still trash without basic features, and now they are pushing for exclusivity.

Sharpiemarker, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) to gamedeals in [Epic Games] Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (100% off / FREE)

Has anyone played this? Is it any good or shovelware?

EDIT

Looks like it’s by Gearbox, so it can’t be all bad.

tiberius, 10 months ago

Published by Gearbox, Developed by Blackbird Interactive.

Sharpiemarker, 10 months ago

Hmm, Blackbird aren’t on my radar. Is that good or bad?

tiberius, 10 months ago

I really like their Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Better hope it’s good because they are creating Homeworld 3.

ryathal, 10 months ago to games in Epic First Run: six-month exclusivity for 100% revenue share for developers

While it requires setting up your on site to take money, Steam has always allowed developers to create keys for free. They can sell or give those away for 100% of the revenue indefinitely.

merthyr1831, 10 months ago

Humble Bundle does pretty much that from what I can tell. Surprised more games don’t come to the humble store
