best rpg games released in a bundle

its just the lack of a more open world makes it less of an action rpg like the ones you mentioned. (btw Secret of Mana is one of my fav games of all time and i finished seiken densetsu 3 too, give it a try its awesome)

True, but the elements and playstyle to make it technically an Action RPG. Another example of it not seeming like one, but technically being one, are the Mega Man Battle Network series. Technically it's a Tactical RPG, but very few consider it one

Very few would argue that it's not an RPG series. It clearly is.

Yes, but a TACTICAL RPG? Come on.

its more like an action/beat em up with great story to me since you cant backtrack at all, its incredibly linear when compared to other action rpgs too... seams like the only thing that makes it an rpg (besides the story, almost all games have a story) is the weapon lvl system, and that is till very basic.

PS. I love bastion

But it's not even an Action RPG. Why do so many people say this? Just because it has a weapon level system?

The first one was broken, I heard it changed its engine to the engine where two worlds 2 runs in but I don't know if it does work any better now.

Torchlight probably, both Two Worlds games were also bundled and Two Worlds 2 is actually still available on Bundle Stars. Link Oh and Mass Effect 2 was in an Indie Gala Bundle, though it was an Origin key.

Bastion by far. But good luck finding it. It was in HIB V, which is one of the most saught after bundles, and it was in the very first HIB Weekly, which wasn't too popular

+1 for Bastion. I bought it at the HiB Weekly and this game is really great, especially the soundtrack.

Dungeons of Dredmor by a longshot. It's much better than Bastion (which isn't even an RPG) and a bit better than Torchlight (though this depends quite a lot on taste.)

Bastion is an Action RPG. See above please

I read your post in which you call it an action RPG before I wrote my post. You didn't make any defense of it being an RPG; you just said it was one. Anyway, it's not an action RPG. It's an action game that doesn't have any RPG mechanics.

Completely agree. Also, it's overrated.

I think it's equal to the ratings overall: it's a good but not astounding game. It's fun and has great narration but doesn't really do anything new. It combines old stuff in unusual ways and has great narration.

Agreed on all counts. It is a well done game. I just think it gets disproportionate accolades because it is an impressive game relative to most indie games.

Bastion is a hack-and-slasher with loadouts. It has core gameplay similar to hack-and-slash RPGs like Diablo, but there is no actual character progression.

I think it's more like Crusader: No Regret or Zombies Ate My Neighbors, but that fits well enough.

There was the definitive D&D pack over at GOG, but it may still come back until their summer sale ends. That's all you need, really. If you haven't played any oldie RPGs, you should probably start with Neverwinter Nights from those; that'll kick your ass so hard you'll be insta-trained to think right within the genre. Well it did that to me at least...

EDIT - just to tease you with the games included: NWN Diamond Edition, NWN 2 complete set or whatever, Baldur's Gate 1+2 both complete, Icewind Dale 1+2 both complete, Temple of Elemental Evil, Planescape: Torment, Demon Stone, Dragonshard

Also, Two Worlds. Supposedly it's so bad it's fucking great. Hilarious mistranslations and whatnot; it's top priority in my backlog ;)
