Jelly Deals: Up to 90% off some great indie games at Humble

Dead Cells! Superhot! SOMA!

A note from the editor: Jelly Deals is a deals site launched by our parent company, Gamer Network, with a mission to find the best bargains out there. Look out for the Jelly Deals roundup of reduced-price games and kit every Saturday on Eurogamer.


Over at the Humble Store this week, you can find the Indie Mega Week sale which features a whole host of discounts on some of the more recent indie game gems. Specifically, the range features up to 90% off titles such as Darkest Dungeon, Dead Cells, Rocket League and everybody's favourite - American Truck Simulator.

Now, anyone who knows me may think I'm going to take this time to tell you, once again, that Dead Cells is a startlingly good game - and they would be right. In this writer's opinion, it's a startlingly good game. For those who haven't seen it yet, Dead Cells is a run-based dungeon crawler roguelike thing in the vein of Spelunky or Rogue Legacy. The gameplay is punchy and feels fantastic and the animation is, frankly, gorgeous. It's currently down to £11.89 / $14.44 / €14.44 and is absolutely worth it.

Here are some of the highlights from what's on offer:

  • Darkest Dungeon for £7.59 / $9.99 / €8.79
  • Dead Cells for £11.89 / $14.44 / €14.44

Indie Mega Sale Week from Humble Store

While we're talking, SOMA is all too often overlooked these days, but if slow-paced atmospheric horror games are your thing, that one is definitely worth a look. Virginia is also worth investigating if you like the sound of a narrative-driven game that borrows stylistic elements from David Lynch films.

As this is Humble we're talking about, a percentage of your purchase will go to charity - WaterAid,, in this case - and Humble Monthly subscribers will get an extra 10% off their purchases, too, which is neat. If there are any games in this sale that I haven't mentioned here that you'd particularly recommend, feel free to leave a comment and let the people know.
