Another bundle offer - Super Asian Blast
Sep. 11th, 2015 09:06 pmThis is another set of Asian-themed games to go along with the last offer. However, this one is mostly modern/anime settings, and includes some interesting stuff including an RPG designed to teach you to speak Korean. Some descriptions are a bit bizarre, so I'm copying the game descriptions as well as the titles

STARTER COLLECTION (US$9.95 - retail value $46)
Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) goes to Doctors Without Borders.
Usual caveat - The main reason I know about this offer is because I'm on the list to get this stuff free if I want it. In this case I'm interested, though I doubt I'm going to try to learn Korean, but even if I wasn't I think it's a reasonable deal. If I think these are bad deals I'll say so.
