Original game's owners probably get new remake for free.

Sigh, buying too much stuff again, but two for the price of one can't beat that.

Yeah, but every low price here (fanatical pick a bundle) and there, it eventually racks up to something big. ;)
Also got Live a Live preordered, although still no key. :x which is weird as this is the first preorder without a key beforehand.

I LOVE this game. Played the original super-basic version that was free back in 2010-2011 (v.021). Endless replay-ability and entertainment, which the Steam version built on for an even better experience. This is WELL worth the $3.74 for the base game, or $4.98 for base and the Goat Person DLC, or if you want the soundtrack too, snag the deluxe for $6.24 !! ALL owners of the base game including those who buy right now until the sale ends get the modernized remake next Tuesday, the 18th, Desktop Dungeons Rewind for FREE. If you like tile and turn-based puzzle-roguelikes that are also quick to play, this is THE game to get.

At this point I think I can manage without the original, really wanted it around 2014-15.
The rework looks so much worse IMO, that graphics really doesn't work for me.

Two for the price of one proposition is enticing and it's reassuring that bambi seems to approve.

Original game is AWESOME. It is a blast to play, very addictive, awesome sense of humor.. A must have.
For this price and with the promise of the new game, is a no brainer.

I can't get into this game at all. it wants me to math!
great if you're patient and like simple math, though

Amazing game, I find the deluxe version is very much worth it for that price.
I used to play this and the original before a long time ago. Fun Times!
This is more of a puzzle-like game so be prepared to have your brain stimulated.

Special Edition? Is that maybe Enhanced Edition + soundrack and DLC?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, Desktop Dungeons "Special Edition" my bad, too used to games calling them Deluxe Editions.
The Special Edition is basically the base game (Enhanced Edition) with both the Goatperson DLC and the Soundtrack

Questions (anyone can help? ):
1) as far I know this rewind version is Remastered version of original game with new graphics and some rebalanced and smaller changes? And you get it free even if you have only base version of game. Is it means that there are no difference if you have dlcs for original game or not? Not sure if rewind version includes also things from dlc and soundtrack of original game?
2) how to recognize on steam 'complete your collection' pack vs standard pack /bundle. I am not sure usually before I have one element and will check. For example for this game Desktop dungeon: if you buy base version can you complete collection or you can not buy and only buy separate dlc? I guess it is not complete collection for this game?
I ask it as I consider to buy between base and complete version. But I wonder if it is wise to buy complete version if I will maybe will play Remastered version (if it will be the same) of game and maybe it will not make sense to play original in such case? And if I change my mind I will not be able to complete original game only buy separate dlc?

1) It looks more like a remake than a remaster. Their promise is, that everyone who owns the old game gets the new game for free. No word about DLC and/or soundtrack.
2) If it's a "complete your collection" pack, it always says "BUNDLE" in light blue next to its name. If it doesn't have that, it's a "must purchase together" pack. So the Special Edition is a "must purchase together" pack. You can buy DLC and soundtrack separately:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/261420/Desktop_Dungeons_Soundtrack/
And if you don't care for the soundtrack, base game + DLC currently are cheaper than buying the Special Edition.

No word about DLC and/or soundtrack.
the word is you don't need either.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am assuming that as well but I was talking about official statements, or do you have a link to where they explicitly state that?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for explanation/confirmation. Then I guess I will buy base version. And I will play new version soon (after release). And then if I will decide to for oame reason play older one then I will have a plenty of time to buy dlc separately in future promotions.
Ps. I am not very much into soundtracks, but not sure if it is only a separate soundtrack or also additional ingame music. If it is only separate soundtrack then for sure i dont need it.

The game, Special Edition, as well as DLCs are all -75%. Previous low was -67%.
It was bundled twice but it was 6-8 years ago and both times in the top tier.
The sale is correlated with the upcoming release of the remake/remaster:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1976950/Desktop_Dungeons_Rewind/
It will be available for free to owners of the original (thanks, LonerD).
