Gone Fishin' Bundle offers 7 independent games for a song

After the success of the Humble Indie Bundle V, independent game connoisseurs have another bundle to look forward to. Indie game bundle website IndieRoyale.com has launched the Gone Fishin’ Bundle. The collection features seven independent games. This includes three games exclusively debuting on this bundle for the PC platform.

The main attraction of the bundle is Seamless Entertainment’s Unreal Engine-powered 3D space-action game: SOL: Exodus. It’s available for Windows on Steam as well as Desura and is DRM-free. The game puts you in a quest to save humanity from the dying sun by finding a new home. The game harks back to the old-school space sims and lets you blast through multiple missions while enjoying easy-to-grasp Wing Commander-esque controls and core gameplay alongside an involved story.

Zombie fans will prefer Doublesix Games’ topdown shooter All Zombies Must Die! Available for Windows on Steam, this game offers a smattering of role-playing and strategy features, an unexpected cartoon-like art style and witty dialogue filled with clever pop-culture references. Those who have played the game on the PSN or XBLA will be pleased to note that the PC release offers relief by adding a new ’treacle’ mechanic, which will allow players to wade through otherwise impassable zombie crowds.
