The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

3, 4 and 5 are taken from the mobile version. IIRC Steam's 4 is the same than the DS version, so I'm going to assume the same applies to the rest.
Which kinda sucks, because I've been told the best version of FF4 was the GBA port, and GBAs are fucking expensive in my city for some reason (40 USD+). I still suffered a bit when I saw a boxed copy of FF4'S GBA version in mint condition the other day, I assume that's gone as I write this.
If they ever port 6, it's going to be the mobile version as well, and it's sad.

It's a quirky setting with whacky story and zany characters

Gigolo missions aren't really fun or interesting but you get free stuff from them which is necessary to progress through the game even though it doesn't explicitly tells you about it.
Levels are repetetive, in first 2 or 3 missions your meet probably all the enemies
Boss fights are a hit and miss (hah). Some are numb-crushingly diffuclt, some don't even require you to dodge.
The gameplay is fine but targetting is annoying as hell.

Overall it's a fun enough experience.
I went with Dark Souls instead. Thanks.

I have a plan to beat all the games bought during the summer sale before winter sale comes.

Already finished 3/4 games. Only Technobabylon left.

Nice, went for Penumbra collection. Kinda feel sorry for all those guys who opened Amnesia in the pinata GOG sale today.

Is Challenge of the Five Realms any good? I recall the someone here mentioning it, but I don't exactly remember why.

It's a ok game. It has a well developed fantasy plot with multiple steps, is 'open world'... and you're quite likely to die from the inbuilt time limit, if you don't pay attention and just explore without aim. It was a few years ago, but on my last save when confronting the big bad i have a party of no less that 10 characters, including a giant and the 'knights of something' which are actually like 10 other characters... quite a epic showdown to beat up a single skeleton man. When i tried it again after the aforementioned years when testing my dosbox archive of DOS games prior to backup i got my ass handed to me, so at least the last boss was uh, 'challenging', though i half-expect it's because i couldn't remember how to do some kind of plot incantation maybe.
