MTV Multiplayer - For a few brief seconds, I hesitated to include the screenshot at the top of the post. You see, "Desktop Dungeons" is not a looker. In fact, at a glance, you could easily assume that the game came out in 1987. But despite its throwback graphics, it's one of the most devious, insanely clever games I've played in a while, and considering it's freeware, there's really no reason why you shouldn't play it too.
Humble Bundle has a new bundle that packs Dungeons, Dungeons 2, Dungeons 3, and a bunch of DLC. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Dungeons & Dragon’s most famous sibling comes back to Kickstarter in February
I am just playing through the first game in the series, and really enjoying it. They've done great job with the game, and consequent patching it (I understand there were balancing issues at launch).
But I don't understand why they're taking the sequel on Kickstarter. The first game should have been proving grounds for them, to be able to take on sequel with sales from the first game. I don't know the figures behind it, or the business model they're going with, and how much of it is driven by the necessity, financial greed, or gauging the interest for sequel (often used to then seek further funding from private investors, when goals at met, demonstrating demand, as it was done with Kingdom Come Develierance).
