Weekly Humble Bundle: Japan Edition!


It's that time of month again, where Humble Bundle releases an exceptionally good bundle that even I'd praise from all of the replayability the first tier offers. The games offered here are the following:


The wonderful thing about Humble Bundle is that when you purchase the games, it's Pay What You Want (PWYW) but you need a minimum of $1 in order to get the official game keys accredited to your account. This is one of the reasons why my Steam Library is so vast in its collection, the Humble bundle always seems to turn up whenever I have extra cash lying around. This time, I only had enough extra cash to purchase the first tier of this bundle, but if I had scraped up an extra 5 dollars, for example, I would have gotten enough to get the second tier in addition to the first tier of this bundle.

So, looking at the games, I can see two familiar games that I had played before in this bundle, namely One Way Heroics and Ys Origin which are both AMAZING GAMES. If anything, I'd tell you all to buy tier two just because Ys Origin is there, and the Ys series is fantastic on its own.

One Way Heroics is kind of a side scrolling dungeon crawler where each map is randomized and you're running away from the darkness in an attempt to slay the Demon Lord to save the world. Cliche, I know, but it's still a really fun dungeon crawler that has a nice array of achievements and challenges available to you.

Ys Origin is your typical JRPG with a good storyline, and of course boss fights. There are three original campaigns for you to play, and an extra that you need to unlock in order to play. The story line follows these two beings who are captured in order to preserve an artifact from being taken by the demons. The "protagonists" are basically people who live above the demon wastelands in a utopia of some sort, until the possibility of it toppling over presents itself. Each one of the protagonists have a different perspective on the game, so it's highly recommended that you play them all.

These are the only reviews I can give so far, but I'm downloading Unholy Heights and GIGANTIC ARMY right now. My first impressions for this bundle? Even the tier 1 is great. Definitely a buy for me.
