If your Steam backlog is looking a little shooter-heavy and needs a few more pitfalls and double-jumps, it’s a good time to check out Fanatical’s 3D Platformer Build Your Own Bundle. This collection includes platformers of all stripes, from indie darlings to big-name titles, and each one of them is proof that the best way to solve any problem is to jump right over it. The 3D Platformer Bundle includes 18 games to choose from–the more you add to your bundle, the bigger the discount you’ll see at checkout. For instance, if you add all 18 of these titles to your bundle, you’re snagging $339 of games for just $26.
One of the games included in this bundle is indie darling Anodyne 2. It’s an inventive hybrid 2D-3D game that drops you into a world infected by deadly nano particles, and it’s your job to shrink down into infected bodies and clear out the Nano Dust. It’s delightfully weird. While you’re exploring cities, wastelands, and the overworld, you run around in 3D. But when you jump inside people to clear out the Nano Dust, the game switches to a 2D adventure that differs from person to person based on their internal struggles.
Another game included in the bundle is Victorian-inspired Tin Hearts. Made by some of the people who brought you the first Fable game, Tin Hearts sees you guiding a small army of toy soldiers through elaborate environments inspired by the intricate visual language of the Victorian era. You’ll guide your toy soldiers through environments as simple as a drawing room, or as complex and perilous as a Rube Goldberg-like toy factory, full of hazards to reduce your adorable little guys into scrap metal.
This sounds like a fantastic opportunity for platformer fans! It’s great to see such a diverse selection of critically acclaimed games highlighted. Building your own bundle adds a fun twist to the usual gaming experience.
