Also a fan of FTL, but so far I rather like Darkest Dungeons. It may be because I'm still doing low-mid level quests, but the game doesn't seem all that hard, and by thinking ahead you can deal with the occasional bad luck, after all these games are all about planning and dealing with strings of bad rolls. I did lose a whole team foolishly putting a torche in the shambler's altar, thinking that its a level 1 dungeon and it can be that bad. Yeah... sigh... heh. Otherwise, as long as you have a good healer or two in your team the game is almost a walk in the park. The occultists dish so many critical hits that they significantly lower the team's stress. It seems that vestal+occultist+occultist+whichever-warrior-is-available can't lose so far. Infinite healing, lots of crits, can deal with anything and will make quick work of the back row of any enemy formation, preventing extra stress.

I had completely forgotten about this game... but if I remember well, it was actually pretty good. Might buy it if its on sale real cheap one day.

Is that like... FTL in a train in the Wild West?

Yes... dangerously addicting...

Played it, its fun. Not my favorite game ever from the demo, but definitely on my wishlist now. I'll be sure to grab as as soon as its on sale.

Good thing to know Septerra Core works in wine, I still have my original CD and T-Shirt. And it was the first game to have my name in the credits! (I was running a website dedicated to the game back then) Great game, but its slow, the battles last forever with very slow and long animations. It could really use a speed up key like you get on console emulators.

Quoting: EikeAlready loved it when I heard the title music (again). :)

That title theme is amazing. Before I got the soundtrack I'd start the game and let it on the title screen just to listen to it. ;)

Verdun: a great WW1 team based FPS. Wish I had more uninterrupted time to fully enjoy the game, right now I don't play much at all because I hate having to drop out in the middle of a round.

Borderlands 2: older game, but can't get enough of it.

Borderlands: The pre-Sequel: got it in the steam winter sale, its a pale shadow of BL2, still enjoyable, but I doubt I'll go for a second playthrough.

Shovel Knight: I just love retro platformers.

Legend of dungeon: a great indie game when you have a few minutes to waste. Its a roguelike beat-em up with a great mix of 3d graphics/effects and retro hand drawn sprites.

Shadowrun series: I'm playing trough Dragonfall right now. Great simple games with a great atmosphere.
