It’s that time of year again, summer video game sales!  GOG was first out of the gate with their sale, and they started things off strong with some amazing deals.  In the interest of showing off the large number of great Kickstarter funded games available, as well as making some Cliqist a few bucks through embedded affiliate links, we’re listing some of the best deals on some amazing crowdfunded games.

To start things off I give you 10 games that are not only fantastic, but also offer some amazing savings.  If you were to buy these games at their list prices you’d be on the hook for nearly $240!  The summer sale cost for those same 10 games?  A mere $76.00.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted : $19.99 | 85% off | Final Price : $2.99

Muderous gentlemen robots tracking you down?  Frankly I’d be surprised if you don’t own this one already, but if you don’t, this is a great deal.

thebookofunwrittentalessteam

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 : $29.99 |  85% off | Final Price : $4.49

Old-school adventuring fun that isn’t a Sierra resurrection.

Shadowgate

Shadowgate : $24.99 |  85% off | Final Price : $3.79

A punishly difficult adventure that’s normally only for the hardest of the hard-core, but at this price it’s tough to pass up.

bedlamlogo2

Skyshine’s Bedlam : $19.99 | 75% off | Final Price : $4.99

This isn’t even that old of a game, but the recent improvements really change things up.  Sure, the game doesn’t have the best review scores, but it’s a much better game now than it was when it launched.

ultimategeneralgettysbergsteamlogo

Ultimate General Gettysburg : $14.99 | 75% off | Final Price : $3.79

I’m a softy for historical strategy games, especially ones that bring me back to Sid Meiers Gettysberg!  This breathtaking take on this tragic page of American history is definitely worth the low asking price.

xenonautssteam

Xenonauts : $24.99 |  60% off | Final Price : $9.99

As much as I love the latest X-Com games, they’re no substitute for the classics.  Thankfully Xenonauts came onto the scene and showed everyone that you don’t need AAA graphics to create an engaging, and terrifying, action strategy experience.

serppentinthestaglandssteamlogo

Serpent in the Staglands : $19.99 |  60% off | Final Price : $7.99

At first blush Serpent in the Staglands may not be the most appealing rpg out there, however once you get into it you’ll find a classic style role playing experience that’s worth far more than the asking price.

STASIS

Stasis : $24.99 | 60% off | Final Price : $9.99

There’s a reason this is one of the few games we’ve spotlighted as a game of note (formerly Game of the Month).  It’s a terrifying space adventure that could best be described as Sanitarium in space, but far more terrifying.

pillarsofeternitysteamlogo

Pillars of Eternity : $44.99 | 60% off | Final Price : $17.99

One of the biggest Kickstarter funded games out there, and the biggest one yet to be released.  Thankfully this classic style rpg lives up to the lofty promises.

shelteredlogo2

Sheltered : $14.99 | 33% off | Final Price : $9.99

I’ve experienced more fun and anxiety with Sheltered than with any other game all year.  Never has keeping your family alive during the apocalypse been so much fun.


So now that I’ve listed off 10 must-haves does that mean that the remaining 59 games are a waste of time?  Definitely not.  Below you’ll find some amazing, groundbreaking, and extremely entertaining games.  Remember if you buy any of these games via the links below Cliqist get’s a cut.  It’s a whole affiliate thing.
