There’s something interesting simmering over at Humble Bundle—the now-famous platform known for offering top-tier PC games, especially bundles and its well-regarded Choice subscription service. For a monthly fee, Choice lets you build a personal library of high-quality titles you keep forever.
I keep a close eye on the site and try to update fellow Turn Based Lovers whenever something noteworthy drops. And today feels like one of those moments: the Dice and Destiny bundle just went live, and it’s a must-see. If you’re into RPGs—especially the isometric, old-school kind—the easy pitch would be: stop reading and buy this bundle. No questions asked. But hey, we’re strategy fans—we like details. So here’s what makes this bundle so incredible.
Dice and Destiny is a love letter to classic CRPGs, packed with some of the best releases in recent years. You’re getting both Pillars of Eternity titles—widely regarded as top-tier isometric RPGs of the modern era.
Pillars of Eternity is Obsidian Entertainment’s love letter to the golden age of isometric CRPGs. Set in the richly detailed world of Eora, the first game casts you as a Watcher—someone burdened with the ability (and curse) to peer into souls and past lives. With its deep character customization, tactical pause-and-play combat, and branching narrative paths, Pillars of Eternity offers a story-driven experience that rewards thoughtful decisions and immersive roleplay. The strong writing, morally gray choices, and classic CRPG feel helped it revive the genre for a new generation.
The sequel, Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, builds on that foundation while boldly charting new territory—literally. Swapping out the more traditional fantasy setting for a sprawling archipelago, Deadfire introduces naval exploration and ship-to-ship combat, giving players the freedom to chart their own course both narratively and geographically. The real-time-with-pause combat returns, but Obsidian also added a full turn-based mode, perfect for players who prefer a more tactical pace. With deeper companion interactions, a refined engine, and a vibrant, sea-soaked world filled with political intrigue and ancient gods.
Another standout title in the bundle—one that earned one of the highest scores in our reviews and has become a benchmark for the entire RPG genre—is Disco Elysium. That’s right, it’s included too.
Disco Elysium isn’t your typical RPG—it throws out combat entirely and replaces it with raw dialogue, deep introspection, and one of the most complex roleplaying systems ever put to screen. You wake up in a trashed hotel room with no memory, no name, and a murder case to solve. What follows is a mind-bending journey through the city of Revachol, where politics, philosophy, and personal demons collide. Every choice you make shapes your detective, not just in terms of morality but through the very voices in his head—literally, as your stats act like personalities with opinions of their own.
What makes Disco Elysium so special is how much it leans into narrative and player agency. You can play as a corrupt cop, a true believer, a disaster of a human being, or something entirely off the rails—and the game not only lets you, it encourages it. With its beautifully painted world, haunting synth soundtrack, and masterful writing, Disco Elysium doesn’t just tell a story—it pulls you into a spiral of identity, ideology, and self-destruction. It’s bold, bizarre, and unforgettable—a true modern classic that proves RPGs can still break all the rules and come out brilliant.
Another title included—and absolutely worth checking out—is Roadwarden. That said, it’s definitely one for those who appreciate heavy text and narrative depth and it blends interactive fiction, open-world exploration, and survival mechanics into a unique and surprisingly immersive experience. You play as a lone roadwarden—part messenger, part guard, part detective—tasked with patrolling a remote and dangerous peninsula. There’s no combat in the traditional sense; instead, every decision you make is filtered through dialogue, resource management, and rich narrative choices. It’s all about building trust, uncovering secrets, and carving out your place in a harsh, mysterious land.
Roadwarden turns a wall of text into something deeply atmospheric. The writing is superb, the world is bleak but fascinating, and the sense of slow, deliberate discovery hits just right. You’ll manage your gear, your health, and even your relationships as you try to make sense of the region’s tangled politics and ancient ruins. It’s a game that rewards patience, curiosity, and roleplay above all else—perfect for fans of slow-burn RPGs who don’t mind reading their way through a beautifully strange journey.
Next up is Citizen Sleeper, another uniquely crafted RPG that stands out for its distinct approach and atmosphere. which drops you into a crumbling space station on the edge of collapse, not as a hero, but as a synthetic body inhabited by a digitized human mind—an escaped corporate asset trying to survive one cycle at a time.
It’s a narrative-driven RPG where the mechanics are built around dice rolls, time management, and tough decisions. Every cycle you must choose how to spend your limited actions: work to earn a living, maintain your degrading body, investigate mysteries, or simply try to help the struggling folks around you. It’s tense, emotional, and beautifully written, with a world that feels lived-in and quietly desperate.
Citizen Sleeper blends tabletop-inspired systems with rich storytelling and player agency. Characters remember your choices, opportunities come and go, and the station itself evolves with your actions. Despite the cyberpunk setting, the heart of the game is deeply human—it’s about survival, community, and finding purpose when the system has already written you off. With its lo-fi aesthetic, evocative music, and branching paths, Citizen Sleeper is one of those rare indie RPGs that stays with you long after the final cycle ends. Since the second installment of the series was recently released, this could be the perfect opportunity to dive into this world. And the bundle has your back—inside, you’ll find a 15% discount coupon for the purchase of the second chapter.
And finally, we come to the most recent CRPG in the bundle: Broken Roads. A post-apocalyptic RPG that brings moral philosophy to the forefront, set against the dust and ruins of a devastated Australian outback. Inspired by classics like Fallout and Planescape: Torment, it blends traditional turn-based combat with deep narrative choices shaped by a unique morality system. You’re not just picking good or evil—you’re navigating a philosophical compass, with choices aligned to Humanist, Utilitarian, Machiavellian, or Nihilist ideals. Every decision nudges your character’s worldview, influencing dialogue options, quest outcomes, and even how NPCs react to you.
What really sets Broken Roads apart is how much thought it demands from the player. It’s not just about surviving—it’s about who you are while doing it. The hand-painted visuals give the game a grounded, earthy feel, while the branching storylines and tactical encounters offer plenty of depth for RPG veterans. Whether you’re debating moral dilemmas or taking cover in turn-based skirmishes, Broken Roads aims to make you feel the weight of your choices. It’s a thoughtful, character-driven experience that carves out its own space in the world of narrative-heavy RPGs.
That’s everything packed into Dice and Destiny—and it’s seriously a treasure trove of high-quality RPGs. Here’s how the bundle breaks down:
- Pay around $6 and you’ll get three of the seven available games: Disco Elysium, Pillars of Eternity, and Roadwarden.
- Pay around $9 to unlock the next tier, adding Citizen Sleeper and Pillars of Eternity II to your haul.
- Pay around $12 and you’ll unlock the full lineup, including everything mentioned plus Broken Roads.
