- 🌟Introducing the Mastiff Metroidvanias Bundle! 🌟 - 21 November 2023
Hey everyone! We know you're all busy preparing for Thanksgiving and the rest of the Holiday season. To help make your decision-making a little easier, we'd like to announce the MASTIFF METROIDVANIAS bundle! Our game is already discounted for the Fall Sale, and thanks to Mastiff partnering with Clay Game Studios, we're excited to bring you some added value. We're bundling The Tarnishing of Juxtia with another fantastic beautifully distinct Metroidvania, Faerie Afterlight. If you're new to Steam bundles, here's the deal: Steam won't make you purchase games you already own. If you buy the bundle, you'll only pay for and get the titles you don't already have in your Steam library. Plus, there's a 46% discount applied to the total price!
