Just saw this fantastic deal on steam, ends 23rd January!
This is the cheapest deal I have seen for all the included DLC (Including the Crystal edition).
The game is a fantastic rogue-like which also incorporates brilliant coop functionality, I just went ahead and bought a copy for myself (to upgrade to the full DLC edition) and a few for some friends to play together.
General blurb:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hundred condemned criminals were being shipped to the Auriga system on board the prison hulk “Success”. While this was presented as a chance to earn back their place in society by working hard for the common good, they understood that in fact they would be slave labour, sent to colonize an unexplored planet. All they knew about Auriga Prime was what the probes told them: it had water, temperate zones, plant life, and plenty of metals in the crust.
In fact, the planet Auriga once hosted a major settlement of the galaxy-travelling ancestors known as the Endless. In addition, the planet was still orbited by a functioning (and well cloaked) defensive system, which sprang eagerly to life upon the arrival of the Success. Within a few minutes, the ship was nothing but a few large chunks of metal falling toward the planet.
Every set of holding cells also functioned as an escape pod, so the ship let itself disintegrate and the surviving prisoners fell bruised but (temporarily) alive and (momentarily) safe to the planet below. Safe, that is, until they realized that they had crashed through some sort of facility of the Endless, down to a sub-basement so deep and ancient it might as well be called a dungeon…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its a tough game to describe - it takes influence from a number of different genres from squad RTS to tower building and puzzling. The pixel aesthetic lends to it well, though it may put some people off.
It is well worth a try at this price, I have sunk over 20 hours into it and there is a load more content to discover.
