Chris' review will give you the full story, but here's his conclusion: "You can blow a Nazi to pieces among some lovingly-designed sixties furnishings and probably should." In the game, we hasten to add.įootball Manager 2014 (75% off) $12.49 / £8.Besiege castles and raid villages in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, a fast-paced medieval first person slasher with a focus on multiplayer battles. While on the surface it might look like just another Nazi-blasting shooter, there's a surprisingly strong story here, along with surprisingly fleshed out stealth mechanics, and a surprisingly detailed vision of an alternate 1960s ruled by the Third Reich. Wolfenstein: The New Order is surprising. 1 - Wolfenstein: The New Orderĥ0% off: $29.99 / £17.49 - Steam store page Check out our reviews of Returns and Dragonfall for more. £2.74 is a very good price for the enjoyable Shadowrun Returns, but while it's cheap you should consider picking up Dragonfall too. Dragonfall is more open, better-written and more memorable than the main campaign - and it's currently available for 60% off. With this in place, this first Shadowrun effort from Harebrained Schemes is solid and enjoyable, boasting an XCOM-style battle system, a level editor, and a pretty interesting noir-style story - but its expansion, Dragonfall, is where it truly comes alive. If you'd bought it back at the time of its release, you may have been rightly furious about the awful save system too, which relied on infrequent checkpoints - but this has thankfully since been remedied with a patch. Shadowrun Returns is a good RPG hampered by an interface and engine seemingly designed for tablets first and foremost. 2 - Shadowrun Returnsħ5% off: $3.74 / £2.74 - Steam store page Broken Age Act 1 might not be quite as clever as you may be expecting from some of the team that brought you Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle, but there's still much to enjoy about this gorgeous game's first half, as detailed in our review. We're still waiting on Act 2 - which is included in the price of this - but as Broken Age's first part proved to be reassuringly adept at the old adventure gaming thing back in January, we're not too worried about a sudden curveball turning it into Limbo of the Lost or anything like that. 3 - Broken AgeĦ6% off: $8.49 / £6.45 - Steam store page | Flash deal: buy before 8 p.m. It's bloody, fast-paced, and more than a little silly with it. Here's a spoiler for Chivalry, however: it's a game about people hitting each other with swords, ballistas, throwing knives, and other weapons that have fallen by the wayside in modern warfare. There's not too much chivalry going on in Medieval Warfare, but there are enough severed limbs, spurting blood and gleaming swords here to keep Game of Thrones fans amused until Season 5 rolls along to finish off the rest of their favourite characters (that wasn't a spoiler, don't worry).
