Tuesday’s Deals – Killer Bundle, 9 Circles of Bullet Hell, Slitherine Strategy, XBOX Game Studios!

For this Tuesday’s Deals, we have multiple bundles from Fanatical and Humble Bundle. Including a Killer Bundle, 9 Circles of Bullet Hell, Slitherine Strategy, XBOX Game Studios, Bento Bundle, and a Pedal to the Metal bundle!

Let’s get started!

Killer Bundle (BundleFest Spring 2025) From Fanatical

This bundle includes the following five games for the total price of $4.99,

Many of these games are action related in some way or another, with Defense Grid 2 being distinct from the others. Army of Ruin, Dandy Ace, and Empty Shell are all overhead or isometric in perspective, while Paint the Town Red is first person. To put it bluntly, this is a really great deal!! Every game is at least 85% positively rated on Steam, and even with the historical value ($24.94), you’re saving almost 80% off of that price. More details are at IsThereAnyDeal.

9 Circles of Bullet Hell From Humble Bundle

This bundle contains at least two famous indie games, Vampire Survivors and Patch Quest. Neither of them are very expensive when on sale, but the convenience of this bundle can’t be overlooked. It contains 9 games for $10, 5 of which are rated as 93% positive or greater.

They’re bolded in the list below,

For the quality of these survivor titles, it is a good bundle. Plus, you’re getting the games at about half of their history value of $21.49. Here’s the link to IsThereAnyDeal for details.

Slitherine Strategy Bundle From Fanatical

The Slitherine Stategy Bundle is quite unusual from Fanatical because it uses multiple tiers like what is often found at Humble Bundle. Because of this, it is a bit harder to list the games down below. To keep things simple, I will break them out into three lists. The bolded games below that are at least 80% positive on Steam.

Tier 1 ($2.49)

Tier 2 ($7.99, includes all of Tier 1)

Tier 3 ($14.99, includes everything)

In some regards, this is a difficult bundle to recommend. Compared to the other two above, these titles are not as positively rated. At IsThereAnyDeal, many of the games are rated less than 80% positive, while Stargate: Timekeepers in tier 3 is only 59% positive.

With the tier 3 price of $14.99 being a good discount from the historical value of $64.83, taking advantage of this bundle may be worth it for fans of strategy titles. Still, I can’t really recommend it.

XBOX Game Studios Bundle From Humble Bundle

Moving on to the XBOX Game Studios bundle, it has two tiers, with the full pack being 8 games for $10. The titles are listed below, with the bold ones being 90% positive or better,

Considering that only 2 games in this bundle have historical lows below $3, those being Battletoads and Broken Age, this may be a good value for a variety of people. It has a good deal of genre diversity which makes it more intriguing. Plus, if you’ve wanted to buy Ori and the Will of the Wisps, just know that its historical low is $5.99.

So, you could just buy the $10 bundle, get Ori 2 for $6, and then have the other 7 games for just $4. More details about the bundle are available at the IsThereAnyDeal page.

Quick Thoughts on Two More Bundles

There are two more current bundles that I’d like to mention before ending this update. Both are from Fanatical. The first is the Build your own Bento Bundle (Spring 2025) and the second is the Build your own Pedal to the Metal Bundle – Supercharged.

For the Bento Bundle here are a few key points,

The prices for the games range between $3.33 down to $2.85
Of the titles offered, the ones I’d like to play are Rabi-Ribi, Rogue Flight, and SomnaBuster.
If you’re excited to see the Harvest Moon games, be aware that they are not the same Harvest Moon as before. This Reddit post from 2019 provides a brief rundown of what happened.

Fanatical’s page for the bundle is here, and here is the IsThereAnyDeal page.

Meanwhile, the Pedal to the Metal Bundle is a bit pricier. The starting price is $13.49 for 3 games, or $4.50 each. Part of me is interested in exploring the titles in it more, but it just came out on Monday night, May 12. Some of the games that have the best ratings are Tanuki Sunset, Ultimate Godspeed, and Goblin Auto Club Manager. Although, be advised that none of these are “traditional” racing games from the looks of their trailers. Also, know that WRC 9 is currently available at a cheaper price at GamersGate. This is according to the IsThereAnyDeal page.

This is all that I have for today. Thanks for reading!
