  • FREE GAMES: "Bucket Brawl", "Edemn", "Undawn" and more

    From Spalls Hurgenson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 22 11:14:51 2023
    More free games for you to peruse. Very Indie, very free. I don't
    promise you quality, just games you don't have to pay for.


    * Anyuu
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2431310/ANYU/
    An open-world walking simulator exploring a lost city in an arctic
    wasteland. Physics puzzles and environmental storytelling galore.
    Looks very "AER Memories of Old" except without any of the fun flying mechanics.

    * Solar Showdown
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2408120/Solar_Showdown/
    Looks to be a multiplayer tower-defense game, where you build up your
    realm so you can swarm your enemies and overtake their defenses.

    * Bucket Brawl https://store.steampowered.com/app/2413660/Bucket_Brawl_Ahlman_Edition/
    An "arena fighter" where you guide your plastic-toy avatar in a
    top-down viewpoint towards victory over other plastic toys. Buckets
    are somehow involved.

    * Edemn
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2219660/Edemn/
    A retro FPS-shooter (I think we're supposed to call them 'boomer
    shooters' now?) that looks like a poor man's "Unreal Tournament".
    Well, it will probably run well on your old Core2 Duo laptop, at
    least.

    * Stranded Traveler https://store.steampowered.com/app/2432010/The_Stranded_Traveler/
    A 2D side-scrolling action/platformer. Sort of Metroid crossed with
    "Johnny Castaway"?

    * Undawn
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1881700/Undawn/
    An first-person open-world survival game; explore, craft, build,
    shoot. It's free-to-play online and designed with mobile gaming in
    mind, so don't expect much.



    Have fun. Remember, if it grows the size of your video-game library,
    it's worth snagging. ;-)

    As a Gen-X, which is the actual generation for those retro shooters, I do
    not enjoy being lumped in with "Boomers." If future generations want to
    do the generational identity thing, at least get it right.

    The only "Boomer Shooter" in existence, afaic, is Just Die Already.

    Also early access. No thanks on any early access (nee: beta/alpha) games.

    I'm getting a "there was a problem adding this..." when I try to do it
    now. Guess I'll try again later :/

    Why can't I add these to my library via updated Firefox web browser? Is
    anyone else having this problem too?

    No, but I added them through the Steam client, not through the
    browser. They worked there.

    That's what I had to do, look each up and ad them in the client.

    All the extra effort we have to make to add bad games we will never
    play into our video-game library. ;-)

    I had the same issue with the same browser. I did not try Chrome. I
    just added them manually with the Steam client.

    I was using Chrome, didn't think to try Edge/Firefox, would that work?
    Maybe next time if it happens I'll give other browsers a try.

    Firefox v114.0.2 didn't work for me when I tried it last night.
