We are fast approaching the silly season for iOS game sales — that exciting time of year when developers and publishers go nuts and start discounting premium titles left, right and center as a means of celebrating holidays like Halloween and Christmas. Apple is getting in on the action early with ‘The Indie Gems Sale,’ a limited-time promotion in which they’re offering savings of 50% or more on a hand-picked selection of the App Store’s most highly acclaimed indie games.
There are 15 titles in total included in the sale. They span a wide variety of genres and tastes, so whether you’re in the mood for a truly scary game (see: Dark Echo) or simply just want to unwind with an ultra-relaxing snowboarding sim (see: Alto’s Adventure), Apple has you covered! What these games have in common, though, is that they’re all absolutely great. Seriously, every single one is a masterpiece in its own way, and I can’t urge you hard enough to buy as many of them as your wallet will allow. You won’t regret it. Promise.
