ZeroRanger - $9.59
https://store.steampowered.com/app/809020/ZeroRanger/

indie shmup that has a ton of homages to other shmups (largely influenced by Radiant Silvergun and Treasure) and anime. Lots of secrets/surprises so it's best going in as blind as possible. just got a free content update adding a new mode with remixed stages.

Murasaki - $1.99
Murasaki Tsurugi - $3.99
https://store.steampowered.com/app/392030/Murasaki/
https://store.steampowered.com/app/865060/Murasaki_Tsurugi/

basically Touhou + Irisu Syndrome (by the creator of Irisu Syndrome). You can only fire one shot at a time, so you need to shoot colored blocks so they collide with other blocks of the same color, creating a chain reaction that destroys enemies/bullets. You have to piece together the story and such by reading the character profiles etc. that unlock as you play.

Here's my big recommendation:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/449610/Monster_Boy_and_the_Cursed_Kingdom/

It's like Shantae minus all of the weird horny stuff and it's also 15-20 hours to 100% instead of the typical 4-6 from Shantae games.


You just sold me on Shantae tbh, a nice 4-6 hour metroidvania sounds lit

Its free with XBL Gold this month, conveniently. Should I play it before or after Half-Genie hero, which I also have from Gold?

I mean don't get me wrong the Shantae games are quality but a little hollow. Other shortish Metroidvanias that are worth playing:

Momodora (4-6 hours)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/428550/Momodora_Reverie_Under_The_Moonlight/

Iconoclasts (10-12 hours but it has a pretty involved story)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/393520/Iconoclasts/

Outland (fantastic game, 4-6 hours, I think it's not on Steam though)

PS4 version has new CGs, a wide screen presentation, and the DLC included. However, it is missing all the backstage content, which is a "behind the scenes" style set of humorous sections.

As far as the actual real game content, both versions are complete, you just have to get the PC DLC seperately.

Anyone know how the 5-off-30 thing works with refunds?

As in, if I buy several things and then decide I don't like one of them, will Steam assume that that one had the discount applied and deduct 5 from the refunded amount? I just know that there's going to be some scumbag trying to figure out how to spend 35, refund 30 worth of stuff and get a 5 game for free, and I'm not sure how their attempts to stop that guy will ruin it for the rest of us.

I know they have a limit on how much you can abuse the refund system. If you refund like 3 or 4 games in 1 go they'll probably refuse it.

Why not? It definitely has some Metroidvania elements unless there's some silly gatekeeping reason you don't consider it one.

It just doesn't really feel like one when you play it. To me it was more similar to the SNES platformers of old. I'd say the same thing about Owlboy, for example.

it's not much of an exploration platformer. it's more in the vein of the Monster World games, which iirc were the explicit inspirations for it.

Just tried the demo of Little Witch Nobeta. First time trying one of these Souls like games. I know it's probably not the best game to judge the genre on but it felt pretty basic and boring.

It's pretty good, but I wouldn't say amazing. Ori 2's definitely better. Luna Nights was a little harder than I would've liked though, so if you're super into challenge you might like it more than me.
