Which game to choose? (No GA, cause thanks to steam sale I'm poor)

there is a thread for this...
but titan souls ++

Our darker purpose is a really good one.

Titan Souls was in tier 1 bundle IIRC, check trades if you won't get it cheaper than on Steam :)

I gifted Titan Souls to a friend last time it was on sale cause I thought it was worth the $3.74, at least. Probably more but bundle value and I wanted to be cheap made it easier to gift it. Valdis doesn't go on sale this cheap much, so I would buy Valdis Story instead, though.

I really enjoyed Valdis Story: Abyssal City and was disappointed by Titan Souls. But it's my tastes...

Mount and Blade Warband

If you're into metroidvania Valdis is far above the other two in return of investment. Its good, lenghty, a hidden gem so to say.
I can't say about Darker Purpose but it doesn't look that good for me.

I enjoyed Titan Souls. Its only... too little on my view. Im not against short games- heck i believe theres untapped potential with then. But side by side i would go with Valdis first, both if i could.
