The first item in the "Pay $1 to Unlock" tier is Dungeon of the Endless, a rogue-like dungeon defense game. Players form teams of four and try to survive increasingly harsh rooms in an ancient alien facility. Cover each other's backs and use your resources carefully to survive as your group of convicts & prison guards explores a world ripe for colonization and filled with dangerous mysteries.
Endless Space Collection includes the game Endless Space and the Disharmony DLC in one convenient package. This game is firmly in the 4X genre - control one of eight civilizations as you try to expand your empire and conquer the galaxy whether through diplomatic means, warfare, or a mix of both. Galaxies feature hundreds of planets for you to fight over as you try to become the dominant civilization in a universe ripe for the taking.

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS has some big honkin' robots.
Planetary Annihilation: TITANS is the stand-alone expansion to Planetary Annihilation, a real-time strategy where players can move their units about on a spherical planet. You'll be able to control armies of thousands of units across many different planets. When numbers won't cut it, you can build the aforementioned Titans to absolutely dominate the battlefield. Planetary Annihilation: TITANS includes the base game along with a bunch of great new features (like giant freakin' robots!) added in the expansion.Rounding out the $1 tier is the "Whale and Dolphin Conservation Charity Pattern Pack" for Company of Heroes 2. This is a package of three camouflage items for the game. The proceeds benefit the Whale and Dolphin conservation charity which you can learn more about by visiting http://uk.whales.org/.
The "Pay More Than The Average" tier begins with a real whopper - the Empire: Total War Collection. This collection includes the following content:
- Empire: Total War
- Empire: Total War - Elite Units of America
- Empire: Total War - Elite Units of the East
- Empire: Total War - Elite Units of the West
- Empire: Total War - Special Forces Units & Bonus Content
- Empire: Total War - The Warpath Campaign
Endless Legend - Classic Edition (Our Review) and the Endless Legend - Tempest DLC put players in a randomly-generated medieval world filled with magic. You have just enough power and guile to keep your own citizens alive, but how you move on from there will determine whether you form a great empire or fade into obscurity. Each of the game's eight civilizations has their own unique storylines for you to explore as you try to survive on the world of Auriga with its especially-brutal winters.
The last item in the "Pay More Than The Average" Tier is a 66% off coupon for Total War: WARHAMMER. The game features Total War-style gameplay in the WARHAMMER universe filled with dark elves, orcs, and beefy humans. You can redeem the voucher and pick up the game at the Humble Store for 66% off its retail price of $59.99.

Endless Space 2 is chock-full of cool starships battling it out in a massive galaxy.
The "Pay $12 Or More" tier has two games up for grabs. The first is Endless Space 2 (Our Review), a sequel to the game featured in the $1 tier for this bundle. Endless Space 2 builds on its predecessor with an upgraded political system, resource management, and more in-depth gameplay. You'll once again be able to take command of one of eight factions as you try to conquer the universe with a mix of diplomacy, economics, and outright warfare.Finally, Pocketwatch Games' Tooth and Tail (Our Review) is a real-time strategy game that surprisingly works better with a controller than it does with a mouse and keyboard. Starcraft 64 veterans might be having PTSD flashbacks right now, but Tooth and Tail was designed with a streamlined UI from the outset and seemingly manages to pull it off. Play the campaign or versus matches on procedurally-generated maps, and don't worry about having to spend 30 minutes to destroy that last pesky expansion base - a game of Tooth and Tail typically takes only 5-12 minutes.
