So, on the last day of the now-finished Steam Holiday Sale I got a lot of stuff. There are so MANY PC games, though! I mean, I spent a lot here and got almost 30 things, including a few cheap DLCs, but I still have 282 things in my Steam wishlist, and I'm sure there are more that should be there...
PC DD - Steam sale
--
Planets Under Attack $1.00 - Looks like a fun simple strategy game. I've played some other strategy games like this one and like them.
Hyper Light Drifter $10.00 - Acclaimed action-adventure game from last year.
RIVE $5.09 - I think this is the last game from the team that made Toki Tori? This time it's different, it's a platform/shooter.
Trine 3 $5.50 - The third Trine game goes 3d, instead of 2.5d. Looks nice.
Quest for Infamy $2.00 - A Quest for Glory-inspired title I'm sure I'll enjoy to some extent.
KAMUI $4.00 - This is a Japanese PC shmup from the early '00s that released on Steam a few years ago. It's a classic, 90's-style spite-art shmup and I remember liking the demo when I played it back in the early '00s.
Mighty Switch Force! Hose it Down! $1.20 - One of the two PC Switch Force games. I think this is a mobile port or something?
Neptunia U $3.00 - This Neptunia game is an action-RPG, beat'em up-ish thing.
Neptunia U (DLC) $1.00
Mighty Switch Force! Academy! $5.00 - And this is the other one, with more classic Switch Force puzzle/platformer gameplay I believe.
Induction $5.00 - Good-looking puzzle game with a nice visual style.
Epistory - Typing Chronicles $6.44 - It's an action-adventure game... with typing for 'combat'! I've very much been wanting to get this one.
Nex Machina $8.00 - I don't love Housemarque, but Eugene Jarvis did consult on this twinstick shooter so I hope it's pretty good.
Stratus: Battle for the Sky $14.40 - This is a fanmade homage to Netstorm, in 3d. It's still in Early Access, as it has been for quite some time, but it's insane that I didn't buy it right when it released given how much I loved Netstorm. Well, I finally got around to getting it.
Bot Vice $0.50 - A simple pixel-art shooter thing.
Strikey Sisters $0.50 - Pixel-art game with blockbreaker gameplay.
SPINGUN $0.65 - Simple arena shmup.
NO THING $2.00 - This is a pretty interesting runner, look it up.
Raining Blobs $2.00 - A Puyo Puyo knockoff, pretty much.
Alwa's Awakening $5.00 - 2d sprite-art platformer that looks nice.
Age of Empires II HD - The African Kingdoms + The Rise of the Rajas $6.62 - AoE II is an older game, but after getting this HD update they made two new addons, which is pretty awesome. I have the base AoE II HD, and now got the two new addons.
Steep $15.00 - Ubisoft's extreme winter sports game from last year interests me, and I've been wanting it. I didn't get the new Olympics addon yet, just the base game and Season Pass DLC, but I'll get it eventually (the bundle actually cost more than buying things separately...)
Steep (DLC - Season Pass) $10.00
Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus $17.99 - I don't know if this more Warriors-styled Senran Kagura game is any good, but I'll try it. It's probably okay. This was originally a Vita game.
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV STEAM EDITION DELUXE PACK $37.50 - This one is the most expensive of the games I got here, but I've really been wanting to play SNK's latest fighting game, so I had to get it! It's also on PS4, but not Xbox because the X1 is very dead in Japan.
Redout DLC - Mars Pack - $2.30 - Now I have three of the addon tracks for this pretty good (though somewhat flawed, the handling could be better) racing game. There are now six addon track DLCs, and so far there are no bundles to get them together. Huh.
