NewNews - Carpe Fulgur Collection on Sale today!

Steam Page: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/15400/?snr=1_4_4__sdd

Just yesterday, I posted a review on Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters.  Out of the 3 games Carpe Fulgur has brought over and translated for the Western Market, Fortune Summoners is the only one I don't have yet.  If you don't have any of the three games, may I recommend picking up the Carpe Fulgur Collection for just $12.43 in part of today's featured Steam Summer Sale.  The three games you'll get are:

As you can tell from the review I posted yesterday, I enjoyed this game a lot!  Chantelise is a Pseudo 3D, Action-RPG played like a Hack-n-Slash.  It was frustrating and difficult at the very last boss, but it was all worth it.  The art style is cute and easy on the eyes, the music is catchy and easy going, the combat is fast-paced and really challenging, and the humor from the dialogue is a nice touch to the story aspect of the game.  It's definitely one of the funnest games I've played this year and I'll probably continue playing it for the secrets and survival mode.

Recettear is one of the more unique games out right now.  It's an Action-RPG dungeon crawler mixed with a shop simulator.  It's addictive finding rare items and selling them for high prices and watching your money pot grow.  This game could last quite a while with its survival mode and endless mode as well as all the unlockable characters you can play as.  I have a friend that plugged in over 100 hours into the game.

I can't wait to play this!  Fortune Summoners is a 2D Action-Adventure RPG.  It reminds me of the Metroid style Castlevania, which is probably why I'm so interested in the game.  This game actually isn't developed by Easy Game Station (which created the other two games above) and so will differ more greatly.  It looks like a challenging game with all the same light-hearted themes and humor as the other two games Carpe Fulgur has brought over for us.

Be warned that all 3 games are not easy to go through.  They may look all cutesy and childish, but the difficulty level has been labeled more for hardcore gamers than casual ones.  This is definitely one of the more worthwhile indie packs this Steam Summer Sale and I highly recommend it to those who like challenging or unique games.
