Indie Royale Sigma Bundle has seven games and a question mark
The Indie Royale series continued on this week with The Sigma Bundle, a seven-game offering that comes with a question: What's in the box the mystery game? We won't know until it's revealed on the bundle's page, but what we do know is that the seven-game pack currently includes a first-person shooter, space simulator, real-time strategy game, two platformers and tactical and first-person RPGs. The entirety of The Sigma Bundle is compatible with Windows platforms, but only Gravi, Skyward Collapse, 3089, Survive, and Freedom Fall are available DRM-free. Starpoint Gemini and Starvoid come only in the form of keys for Steam or Desura. Mac users will be able to play Gravi, Skyward Collapse, 3089 and Freedom Fall, while Linux fans can have Gravi and 3089. If your interest is peaked, the minimum price at the time of this writing is just under $6, with n00bstar's "operat0r" album thrown in if you pay $7 or more. Trailers for most of The Sigma Bundle's contents can be viewed by clicking the box art for each game on the offer's website.
Skyward Collapse lets you play god on both sides
This is a Snapshot, a quick, un-scored review of a game we think you should know about. I can never play Skyward Collapse again. It's not that it's a bad game, it's just that I work from home. Frankly, having it – and the accompanying temptation – within arm's reach would be detrimental to my productivity. I meant to play for an hour or so. Just to try it and find out if it was worth writing about. Unbeknownst to me, hours flew by as I built my two tiny factions of Greeks and Norse. You see, Skyward Collapse isn't about raising one faction to prominence, it's about keeping them all in balance. If either group annihilates the other completely, you lose. Unfortunately, the people of Skyward Collapse possess free will, which makes my job as Creator a difficult one.%Gallery-192100%
