Hey guys! I’m still chipping away at that massive news post I keep promising with now about three weeks of news (around 150 items currently) backlogged, but some sales hit today that I wanted to make y’all aware of. First, Amazon is having a massive Last Summer Deals sale which includes some spacey goodness such as:
- Armada 2526 for $4.50
- Armada 2526 Supernova for $3.00
- Dark Star One for $5.00
- Galactic Dream for $2.50
- Galaxy on Fire 2 HD for $9.99
- Gemini Wars for $6.00
- O.R.B. for $2.50
- Ring Runner for $7.49
- Space Empires 5 for $5
- StarDrive for $15
- Star Ruler for $5.70
- Stellar Impact for $2.49
- X: Beyond the Frontier for $1.75
- X3: Gold for $12.50
- X3: Reunion for $5.00
- X3: Terran Conflict for $4
- X3: Terran War Pack for $10
Steam is also having an unexpected sale, this time to celebrate one year of Steam Greenlight. Spacey game deals include:
- Kinetic Void for $6.80
- Miner Wars 2081 for $9.99
If someone was to ask me what the best deals here were, I’d say X3: Gold in the Amazon sale (since it also includes Alnion Prelude, which is pretty decent) and Ring Runner. On Steam, though there’s not much of a game there yet, Kinetic Void has a ton of potential, so it’s a small price to pay for what hopefully will be a great game. Enjoy!
Edit: This just dropped as I wrote this post, but there’s a massive Paradox Humble Weekly Bundle that, white at its base doesn’t include any space games, if you pay $125 you get nearly fifty Paradox games which includes Sword of the Stars II. I’ll likely get the smaller bundle just for the soundtracks alone my own self, but wow, overall that’s a damned fine deal.
If you are interested in Ring Runner there is a far better deal available in the Groupees bundle. $5 gets you Ring Runner plus a bunch of other games including the recent Eador: Masters of the Broken World and Ittle Dew. See https://groupees.com/bm9
Welcome to the comments Verzor!
Thanks! I’ve been a reader here for several weeks, glad I finally had something to contribute. BTW, for other strategy gamers the Paradox bundle is a great deal. It doesn’t include most of the DLC, but Paradox has very frequent sales. The Amazon sale also has the newest Civ 5 DLC for 50% off. Maybe if I keep saving so much on sales I’ll be able to afford Distant Worlds someday. :-)
