Indie Bundle Weekend Roundup - Four Great Indie Video Game Bundles
6 Comments

Introducing four great indie bundles.  One is even free!

Are you in the market for some new video games this weekend?  Perhaps an indie bundle of sorts?  Well, since I’m typically poking around looking for good bundles on a regular basis, I thought it would be nice to share a roundup of currently running indie selections with you.

This week I have a total of four bundles for you to choose from.  One of these indie bundles is even free. Consider that a bonus.

The Indie Gala Magicka – Ends Jan 25th

  • Games Included: You are Empty, Trine, Cities in Motion, Deponia, Painkiller: Black Edition, Magicka, Magicka: Vietnam and two currently hidden selections.
  • Steam: Most
  • Desura: No

Indiegala is a pay-what-you-want bundle with a suggested price of at least $5.91.  Paying under that amount will get you You are Empty and Trine.  Paying more than that will grant you the rest of the games including the secret bonuses that are unlocked weekly.

The current bundle supports two charities:  AbleGamers and Gala Project X

Indie Royale: The Replay Bundle Vol 1 – Ends Jan 15th

  • Games Included: Nuclear Dawn, Defense Grid, Gemini Rue, Soulcaster 1 and 2 and music
  • Steam: Yes
  • Desura: Yes

Indie Royale is a “beat the minimum” bundle with a suggested price of $15 and a current minimum of $5.47.  Paying more than the minimum helps knock down the price for people who purchase the bundle after you.

Delightful Point & Click Bundle – Ends When Keys Run Out

  • Games Included: Shadows on the Vatican Act 1: Greed, The Journey Down and Metal Dead
  • Steam: Yes
  • Desura: Yes

The Delightful Point & Click Bundle is an indie bundle offered by indiebundle.org.  This site is unique because it actually offers several bundles at once.  All of their bundles consist of three items (or in some cases albums) and are always $5.  They also have a limited number of available keys per bundle.

This particular bundle is their most recent offering, however there are many others that would be worth looking at.

The Free Bundle – Ends Feb 15th

  • Games Included: Nitronic Rush, Ascension, Celestial Mechaninica, I’m Scared and Abobo’s Big Adventure.
  • Steam/Desura: These are free games so they’re typically standalone downloads.

The Free Bundle is an indie bundle put together to highlight the games of talented developers that might have gone overlooked.  It’s put together by the creators of Cypher, who plan to do more bundles like this in the future.

    Oh if this column becomes a regular rotation I will be a happy nerd.  Much easier than manually checking all umpteen of these sites.

       If enough people like it, I’ll be happy to do it every week.  ^_^

    Great idea Q!! You can also check out Indie Game Stand regularly when the other bundles don’t have what you want. MikeB showed me this, actually. There’s 1 game up for 4 days. If you pay 10$ or more, you get the previous featured indie and the next one (which is a “secret”) along with the current one.

      And let’s not forget the frequent deals at GOG too!

      There are two reasons I chose not to add indie game stand to the list. 1. It’s not really a “bundle” but 2. and most importantly, the 4 day limit on each sale.  As for GOG, It’s also not an indie bundle, so wouldn’t be included here. 

      Not saying either of those aren’t good deals. They just don’t fit the criteria I’ve set for this.
