All that’s missing is football.
Thanksgiving is coming tomorrow here in the US and it’s a day of reflection and giving quiet thanks for all that we have in our lives, and we celebrate by trying to buy as much new crap as possible. I’m not sure we’re getting the message. Then again, when everything is on sale, what are you going to do?
The App Store isn’t immune from the cunning wiles of Black Friday. This time of year you can snatch up some pretty amazing apps for a steal. Wargames? On sale. Board games? Yep, those too. We’ll even throw in an RPG for good measure. Check out the deals after the break.
Slitherine has had a pretty amazing 2014. They ended last year with the fantastic Panzer Corps and capped it off with Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front just before Halloween. They make some great war games and charge a premium price for them. Now’s your chance to pick up a selected few for a bargain.
Panzer Corps garnered a rare 5-star review from Owen last year, and even prompted him to write a walkthrough-style post for newbies. That doesn’t happen with just any game. Panzer Corps is a special one and at $20 is worth every penny. Right now, however, you can snag it for $10 which is bordering on theft.
That’s not all from Slitherine, though. The original Battle Academy is also only $10 as well. This is another one that Owen gave the 5-star treatment and is seriously chocked full of enough goodness that it won our Reader’s Choice Game of the Year back in 2012.
Don’t think Slitherine’s done quite yet. The epic WW1 game, Commander: The Great War has also plunged from it’s $20 normal price down to $10. This one pulled another guide for noobs post from Owen and might be the only wargame on the iPad to feature the entire scope of a world war rather than focussing on a specific front or battle. What I’m trying to say is, it’s huge, and it’s only $10.
It’s not just their $20 games that have gone on sale, though, Slitherine has also dropped the prices of some of their smaller games as well. Legion is now only only $5 instead of $10, Great Battles Medieval is down to $5 from $10 as well, and Conquest! Medieval Realms which is now $2 instead of $3. Even some of their lesser known titles like their Egyptian empire builder made in conjuntion with the History Channel are on sale right now for $3 instead of $5 (or $1 down from $2 if you want the iPhone-only version).
Slitherine-owned Shenandoah Studios is getting in on the act as well. All three of their wargames, including the best wargame of 2012, Battle of the Bulge, and best multiplayer game of 2013, Drive on Moscow. You can pick up Battle of Bulge for $5 instead of $10, Drive on Moscow is also $5 instead of $10.
Slitherine isn’t the only dog in the hunt, though. We already mentioned Playdek’s sale, but we’re going to mention them again because Playdek. Their sale goes on through December 1st and includes Agricola which is now $3 instead of $7. Also, the IAP for new decks in Agricola are down to $1 a piece. You can also grab the card game with slightly naughty artwork, Tanto Cuore for only $1, down from $3. On top of that, all the IAP in Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer is on sale for $1 except the latest, Darkness Unleashed, which is $2.
Full Control has put their iPad port of Games Workshop classic Space Hulk out for only $3 instead of $10.
While a bit more fitting for Halloween, babaroga has put the survival board game, Zombies!!! on sale right now for only $1 instead of $2.
Ossian Studios has just released The Shadow Sun for Android devices, and it debuted there for $5. Just to be fair, they dropped the price of the iOS version from $8 to $5 as well. This is a permanent price drop, and not a sale, but I think you guys can handle it.
Tilt to Live developer, One Man Left, is putting all three of the Tilt to Live games on sale in bundle format tomorrow. The bundle will allow you to pick up all three games for 44% off. All of the Tilt to Live games are great twitch experiences on iOS, with Tilt to Live 2 even grabbing our Action Game of the Year award in 2013. You can pick up the bundle here when it goes live tomorrow.
Lastly, Codito Development is putting everything they have on sale for $1 right now. They’ve released some great board game ports over the years so if you have missed one, give it a try for a buck. Their games include: Medici, Ra, Tigris and Euphrates, Tikal, Le Havre, and A Brief History of the World.
Thanks to gosenbach, devensega, and all the PT readers who are on top of the goings on in the App Store. Thanks to all you PT readers for being here. We wouldn’t be if it wasn’t for you guys.
