Humble's Metroidvania Bundle Is Awesome - Get 7 Games For $15

This Humble Bundle has one of the best metroidvania lineups we've ever seen.

12 Comments

Metroid and Castlevania might be the metroidvania crown jewels (understandably), but indie developers have kept the subgenre alive over the years, and thanks to Humble’s new Must-Play Metroidvanias bundle, you can grab a collection of seven indie metroidvanias for PC, plus coupon codes for two more for just $15.

True to the bundle’s name, every game included is a standout, such as Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which is the latest title from Koji Igarashi, the developer best known for his work on the Castlevania series. Unsurprisingly, Bloodstained looks and plays like a modern successor to exploration-focused Castlevania titles like Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow. It's the perfect game if you miss that era of Castlevania.

Hollow Knight is also included in the bundle, which is widely considered one of the best metroidvania games ever made thanks to its slick combat, memorable soundtrack, and hand-drawn world filled with adorable, melancholic bugs. Play this to see why fans are eager for the sequel, Silksong.

The bundle also includes Blasphemous, which offers a moodier spin on the genre through its difficult combat and haunting dark fantasy visuals, and Rain World, which sees players control a tiny creature called a “slugcat,” sneaking and surviving in a giant post-apocalyptic world. A 20%-off coupon for the sequel, Rain World: Downpour, is also included.

Lost Ruins, Lone Fungus, and Haiku, the Robot round out the list of games, and Humble tops the whole thing off with a 50%-off coupon for Zapling Bygone.

Altogether, you're getting a $164 value for as little as $15. However, you can up your donation to the suggested $25 or more if you want to give more money to the Girls Who Code charity, which this bundle supports. Humble also lets you adjust the revenue split between the publishers, charity, and Humble. All codes unlock via Steam.

Humble’s Must-Play Metroidvanias bundle is available until June 21.

I feel bad for being the biggest of Souls fans, and have never played Hollow Knight. Its weird, and i need to be punished for that.

Nope. Reason being is that i am sick and tired of seeing games made with this pixel art style. The most over used art direction i have ever seen. And the reason why i haven't even tried Hollow Knight is because i really don't enjoy playing 2d games on a big screen. If there was a quality handheld worth buying, i'd be all over the games like it, but i just don't have fun playing simple looking indies on anything that is large.

@hardwenzen: Not going to lie hollow knight is my sleeper for being on the list of best games of all time. I've 100%'d every demons/dark/borne souls game. That said I am absolutely in love with and always have been in love with metroidvanias. Then I'm 41 so I'm exactly the right age because I've been playing them since day one.

@hardwenzen: I played Hollow Knight on a large OLED and it looked amazing. Limiting what you play based on graphics alone means you're gonna miss out on amazing games.

Hollow Knight is better than most AAA games with fancy 3D graphics.

I have heard that one plenty of time, but i am simply losing interest playing 2d titles on a large screen.

Remember when Humble Bundle offered Wii U and 3DS games? I wouldn’t mind some humble Switch discounts in the future ;)

@fanboyman: They do have switch games in their store, but they don't tend to go on discount that often because...you know...nintendo.
