All Stars Bundle 4: Nine Fine Games
UK game publisher Focus Multimedia‘s game bundle site, Bundle Stars, is offering a new bundle, the All Stars Bundle 4. This bundle features nine games, complete with Steam codes, including a number of indie favorites:
Evoland
by Shiro Games
Evoland does for console RPGs what A Pixel Story did for platformers. As you progress through the game, you’ll not only unlock a history of RPGs inspired by the Zelda, Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior series, you’ll also unlock a history of game mechanics and even graphics styles, from 8-bit to 16-bit and beyond.
Guacamelee
by DrinkBox Studios
This Mexican pop culture Metroidvania mash-up features slick gameplay, a terrific cast of characters and beautiful animation, making it one of IGR writer Callabrantus’ personal favorite indie games of 2013.

Overture
by Black Shell Games
A roguelike action game with randomly generated dungeons and tons of character classes to unlock. IGR’s DaMaGe82 called its fast pace a “white knuckle ride,” though he was less impressed by its classic arcade-inspired sound effects.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
by CI Games
This entry in Polish developer CI Games‘ Sniper series adds new gear and new features to its stealth-based, story-driven gameplay.
PixelJunk Shooter
by Double Eleven
The PixelJunk series of games tends to run hot and cold, but this cavernous shooter is perfect for wall-dodging, puzzle-solving, scientist-rescuing action. Bring in a friend for local co-op action and the speedy spelunking gets even more manic.
PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate
by Double Eleven
Another PixelJunk game, this one has you protecting a tiki-themed forest from monsters in a hands-on tower defense game. What it lacks in innovation it makes up for with solid execution; an abundance of game modes, challenges and levels provide hours, days and weeks of game time. If that’s not enough, there’s also local and online co-op!
Survivalist
by Bob the Game Development Bot
Originally released on the now defunct Xbox Live Indie Marketplace, this zombie apocalypse-themed RPG was one of our Top 10 Best Indie Games of 2014. IGR editor Indie-Game-Freak praised the game’s unforgiving, learn-by-failure approach and a subjective camera feature that zooms automatically into each scene’s emotional high point, “a startling feat of coding and cinematographic framing.”

GT Legends
by SimBin
Forget about the Gran Turismo and Forza series; this racing sim focuses on classic ’60s and ’70s muscle cars, like the Ford Mustang, the GT40 and the greatest of them all, the Shelby Cobra.
Letter Quest: Grimm’s Journey Remastered
by Bacon Bandit Games
Word games and RPGs: two great tastes that taste great together, just like pizza…and Death? Help the Grim Reaper get pizza in this updated version of a classic game. As IGR’s Adam Fimio put it, “If you think the only thing keeping you from playing Scrabble more often is a lack of immortal combat, Grimm’s Journey Remastered has you covered.”

Evoland, PixelJunk Shooter, PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate, and LetterQuest: Grimm’s Journey remastered are all available for Windows PC, Mac and Linux. Overture is available for both Windows PC and Mac, while the other four games are Windows-exclusive.
All nine games in this bundle must be redeemed on Steam.
