Which Indie Games are worth buying?

[誰がｗｏｍｂａｔ]

I've got my list together, but i'm wondering if any of them are worth buying.
My heart is set on Antichamber and Braid, but the many others; i'm not so sure about.

In the words of Jar Jar Binks (may he die) - Any help would be hot...

All of these "caught my eye" and i've seen gameplay videos for most of them, but i'm not sold quite yet:


1. Retro City Rampage
- $4.99

2. BIT.TRIP.RUNNER with Soundtrack (looks good)
- $2.99

3. Castle Crashers (i've got people to play 4 player coop)
- $8.99

4. Rock of Ages (Monty Python bowling!!!!)
- $2.49

5. Super Hexagon 2 pack (one to trade)
- $1.69

6. Cave Story+ (seen gameplay videos, looks good)
- $3.99

7. Don't Starve (seen gameplay videos and it looks decent, also I get an extra copy to trade)
- $11.99

8. Fly'N (don't have a 'cutsy' platformer, and the music is great)
- $3.39

9. Nimbus (from my experience with the demo, it looks pretty good)
- $2.49

10. Deadlight (only seen a few videos about this)
- $3.74

11. Incredipede (concept is intriguing)
- $9.99

In your list, I've only played Castle Crashers and Don't Starve. They are both well worth it and lots of fun.

Question about Don't Starve - I heard it was a Chrome App... is that the case with the Steam version?

[Serell]

I've heard that you can buy it as an app for chrome, but the Steam version is fully integrated into Steam.

Fantastic. I will probably buy it then!

Oh and about how long is Castle Crashers? Like how many hours of content does it have?

[Serell]

I haven't beat it, but so far I've put in 9 hours just doing regular single player and it looks like I've gone half way. The multiplayer adds a lot of replayability and crazy fun. Also note it includes local co-op, which means you can have four controllers connected to just one PC for you all to play.

Awesome.
Is there the ability to mix keyboards/mice and controllers to play together? Just wondering.

[Serell]

I haven't tried that, but I've heard people have had problems doing that.

Ah. Thanks for responding by the way... I want to keep this alive.

-Lone Survivor!
People always seems to forget Lone Survivor.
There's -Hotline Miami that I want to buy too.

-Cave Story + is an incredible game. You should totaly buy it.
If you liked Super Metroid, this got a great Metroidvania feeling.
It's pretty unic and totaly awesome. Little Sidequests, hidden items and endings!

-Retro City Rampage seems like a lot of fun.
I'm sure it's worth the 5 bucks.

hmm it's okai to buy indies from steam but if you want to save some dosh, keep in mind that indie games are eventually available in pay-what-you-want bundles such as humblebundle, indiegala etc

[Shadow Alpha]

one word, Bastion

you can get Bastion for steam + drm free for 1 buck at humblebundle 1 day left

Castle Crashers is too short. All you will be doing is beating the game very quickly and repeating the game over again on a higher difficulty.. Bastion is very good, I have almost beat it. It's got a lot of levels, about 10 hours playing, maybe more, maybe less. Bastion for sure!

I bought a 4 pack of castle crashers, if your friends have slow internet or are lagging, it will not be good. We beat it on normal and never played again. The 4 pack was $15. I DO regret it. Wish I only bought 1 copy or none. (It's alright for 5 bucks anyway...)

Most every game is worth the money when it's on sale.

A few games you might like I can think of right now are...
Wanderlust:rebirth
Natrual selection 2
Chivarly
Intrustion 2
The Cave (This game looks cool, I watched gameplay, hard to figure out.)
Super meat boy. (tons of levels and endless levels made by others. very hard game and very good)
Mark of the ninja.


I would advise you save your money and get bioshock infinite or a mutiplayer/co-op game (about $20-$30 to play with your friends or something. =)

Thats all I can think of.

Happy Gaming!
