Humble Bundle's 15th anniversary rolls on with 15 games for $15, including lots of Steam Deck hits

Humble Bundle is clearly in a generous mood right now. As part of its ongoing 15th anniversary celebrations, a brand new deal has dropped, offering 15 games for just $15. I probably don't need to do the math for you, but I will, because it is nice to say it: it means $1 for a game! What? So exciting, I know.

Leading the lineup is Necroking, a dark little strategy roguelike that feels like it crawled straight out of a cursed chessboard. You play as a necromancer raising armies of the dead, moving them across grid-based maps in a way that blends tactical thinking with a slightly eerie, almost hypnotic rhythm. It's the kind of game that quietly gets its claws into you… one more run turns into five, and suddenly it's midnight.

It's got a little bit of everything, really, with elements of deck-building blended into the delicious cocktail. You add units onto the grid-based battlefield in real-time and leave them to sort things out in that classic auto-battler style. In theory, there's not that much content, but with more than 30 different types of units and roguelike elements that keep you coming back over and over, and reconfiguring the elements it has into endless new and enticing forms.

Then there are a few smaller titles that feel perfect for cosy (or slightly unhinged) handheld sessions, especially if you're after Steam Deck games. Here is a sample of what you'll find:

• Rocket Rat: You're playing rats trying to extract cheese with guns on the moon. It is as chaotic and ridiculous as it sounds. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than pure, scrappy fun and I respect that.
• Kingsgrave: If you want to lean into a melancholic atmosphere, this game heaps up the moody exploration and combat, with a stripped-back pixel art aesthetic that makes everything feel more haunting.
• Distraint Deluxe Edition and Distraint 2 are short, story-driven horror experiences that trade jump scares for something much more lingering. They're introspective and a bit unsettling.

So there is a little treasure chest of indie ideas, moods, and experiments for you to dive into, and that should keep you busy for a while. You can grab the 15 for 15 Humble Bundle until Wednesday, April 15, so don't miss your chance if you're keen.

If you've been craving something new without wanting to overthink it, this is the perfect excuse to just get stuck in and explore. And who knows, you might come for Necroking, but leave with more new obsessions you didn't see coming.
