The offer ends on Monday the 25th April, so make sure you hurry to the Cubixx HD Steam Store page to take advantage of this great deal.
While I might be a bit biased :), it’s not just me who loves Cubixx HD, One Up Gaming said “Cubixx HD is a wonderful reinvention of a retro style that has seen countless iterations over the years, while managing to define itself as its own title. With fast, addictive levels and visuals that mesh brilliantly with the energetic soundtrack, this is one game you can’t afford to miss.” In their 5 star review.
Meanwhile Defunct Games gave it a B+ saying “Just like the old school arcade games that inspired it, Cubixx HD is easy to pick up and impossible to put down.”

Hi everyone. I’ve got some good news for any of you who’ve been interested in picking up the fantastic Japanese Dungeon Crawler, Elminage Gothic.

You’ll have to hurry though as the deal ends on Monday 11th April, so be sure to visit the Elminage Gothic Steam Store page to take advantage of this great deal.
From the makers of the world renowned “Wizardry Empire” titles, Starfish SD brings you the latest entry in their popular series of dungeon crawlers. Elminage Gothic, previously only available in Japanese on PlayStation® Portable, now comes to PC offering a classic old school dungeon crawling experience with a dark, gothic twist!

In their 8/10 review RPGSite said “If you are the type of person who relishes in challenging themselves, with the patience to crawl through hordes of relentless enemies, then you can’t do much better than this. At around 50 hours long, this is a task not quickly completed.”

As it’s the 1st of April today - the day the internet is at its most trustworthy :) - I thought I’d talk about something that has already happened.
Over a week ago we released Way of the Samurai 3 on Steam and I’d like to take the time to thank all of you who picked up the game and supported our release. It’s been great seeing so many of you enjoying it.
Since the release of Way of the Samurai 3 we’ve also had some great reviews, such as this one from Digitally Downloaded, who gave it 4/5 saying: “I can in full confidence say though, that I've never played a more interesting open world title.”
Or, this 8.5/10 review from Game Watcher, who said: “Generously stuffed with quirky humour, a real love for the period and more longevity than you can shake a bottle of sake at, Way of the Samurai 3 is certainly the best in the series and an easy recommendation to folks looking to lose themselves in a very different sort of adventure.”
So, what do you all think of Way of the Samurai 3? Have you enjoyed it as much as Way of the Samurai 4? Why not let us know in the comments? :)
That’s all from me. I’ll be back soon, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.
