Shack PSA: Gyromancer and Mini Ninjas Deals

March 11, 2010 2:20 PM

And lo, on the fourth day, Steam said: "Let there be massive savings on Gyromancer PC and Mini Ninjas PC, for it is Square Enix and Eidos Publisher Week." And so it was.

Gyromancer + Mini Ninjas Bundle - $15.29 (66% Off)
- Gyromancer - $7.49 (50% Off)
- Mini Ninjas - $14.99 (50% Off)

But for all Steam giveth, the digital distribution platform also taketh away--as with this week's other deals, the prices are only good until 8 AM PST on the following day (in other words, Friday)--so if thou covets either a family-friendly action-adventure from the makers of Hitman or Square and PopCap's Bejeweled RPG, thou shalt probably get a move on.

  How does it compare to Puzzlequest?

    Don't know to be honest, never played Puzzlequest.
    Gyromancer is a turn-based bejeweled twist with a bunch of nice effects, artwork and boss-time metal music.
    Oh, and there's a monster collecting thing, too. Along with leveling up and collecting some items. The typical RPG stuff.
    
    It's pretty fun if you like puzzle games, but it's kinda easy though. I'm 4 hours in and haven't had any real challenges, probably because I always pick the most hardcore monster and kill everything for grind.

  Demo wasnt as good. Its got some nice artwork, but didn't feel like as deep of a game. And I looved me some puzzle quest. Gyro seems decent though. Not bad at $7.50
