I also got a beta invite on GoG for Witcher adventure game, what is it?
Click to expand...

It's a digital board game adventure set in the Witcher universe. It is primarily multiplayer, and that's all that's available in the beta currently, but it will have singleplayer/offline functionality when it's fully released.

I've only looked at the tutorial, but it seems like it will be interesting, at the very least.

I'm really tempted to get that 10$-tier only for Astrebreed. But I've already spent a lot of money this month :/

I do want the other games too, except for Ys Origin, I already have that one.

For anyone who has played the games from this bundle: Is it worth the 10$ ? Or should I just wait for the next Steam sale? I probably won't play them right now because TiTS.
Click to expand...

I'm not sure about Astebreed ($10 tier), as it presents itself as Ether Vapor and I'm not very good at that particular game, but otherwise it's a great bundle, there are some weird games, like really weird in a good way: Unholy heights, most are interesting as One way heroics and all are fun, especially Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae, I don't think that Ys or Pixeljung shooter needs introduction at this point, it is a great bundle. Then again, I think all those games go on sale regularly, so if you don't have money now, it's OK to pass.

edited: forgot to add that many games in that bundle I bought full price and had no regrets.

Very awesome Humble Bundle!
And I didn't even own one title. Got all besides Astebreed.

How does Ys Origin play? Turn-based or action or is it that one game I've heard where you only "bump" and the action takes place automatically?

Gonna be my first jrpg, so giddy. It counts as jrpg, right?
Click to expand...
It's a fast-paced action game that relies on you to recognize enemy patterns to not get hit. No blocking or potions. Bump mechanic is not in this game, you swing a weapon/use magic.

I would term Ys as ARPG, predominantly. A Japanese ARPG, but an ARPG nonetheless.
JRPGs, at least for me, are usually turn based with random encounters and are represented by franchises/games like: Chrono Trigger/Cross, Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey, Legend of Dragoon, Super Mario RPG, Bravely Default, etc. Franchises such as Tales and Eternal Sonata, and Star Ocean also fit here although their combat is action instead of turn based.
While the Ys games are technically JRPGs since they were developed by a Japanese developer and contain an experience system and some equipment options, they're really more ARPGs sort of like Mass Effect 2 and 3 are predominantly third person shooters (with some RPG elements) as far as I'm concerned.

Actually. This is not a bad bundle :O. Ys, Misturugi and Astebreed are in this bundle :X.

If I didn't had Ys and Misturugi, then I would insta-buy the $10 tier :/. Now I have to decide if i want to get this bundle for Astebreed or not.

Eternia already answered your question about Ys Origin, but the "bump" games you are talking about are Ys 1 and 2.

Ys Origin (and Ys: Oath in Felghana which plays just like it) is a fast paced action game, with RPG elements, some platforming, and awesome music. The boss fights in these games are incredible (and brutal on the higher difficulty levels).

It does count as a JRPG, but it has a lot less story and dialogue than your average JRPG.

If you like shmups, pay the $4 and get the Astebreed tier. It'll be subsidized a little by the card drops too. They're not animu prices, but it's still something.

I still don't understand ANYTHING about the story in that game. If you do and wouldn't mind enlightening me, that'd be awesome.
