Classics lovers rejoice – a new batch of awesome timeless titles from SNEG are coming soon to GOG: Veil of Darkness, Star General, The Summoning, Dark Legions. Here’s what you can expect:

Veil of Darkness
1993’s horror-action-adventure game with isometric point of view. Prepare for an intriguing horror atmosphere, well-designed puzzles and faction action as you move around in dark valley and fight monsters like werewolves, vampires and skeletons. Regarded as one of the spiritual ancestors of popular action RPGs like Diablo, Veil of Darkness is an excellent icon of the gaming past.



Star General
A turn-based strategy where you take control of The Fleet (humans), the Khalians, or five other races as you battle for control of the local cluster with your fleet and conquer enemy planets with your group troops. Build research centers to obtain better ships, use your racial special unit to gain advantage on the ground or in space.



The Summoning
A single-character fantasy role-playing adventure, set inside a huge labyrinth with 40 different levels and hordes of mean monsters. Use steel, magic and wit to fight, cast and puzzle your way through the evil that lies within. Struggle to survive and grow strong enough to fight and defeat Shadow Weaver, the villain responsible for the evil spreading across the land.



Dark Legions
An action strategy game in which you will pitch your forces against that of an enemy in a game board. When two pieces collide, they will be transferred to another board on which they will fight for survival. In the beginning of the game you will buy your forces with a predefined number of credits, and be able to purchase any of the 16 characters along with various kinds of traps and even rings to upgrade your creatures.



There’s a certain magic only to be found in classics and you will for sure find it in these SNEG titles – wishlist them now so you won’t miss their release or any special offer.

XYCat: Solid :D

is the veil of darkness good?

also which generals are missing? Panzer General 1 and Panzer General 3?
Veil of Darkness was a pretty good game with a lot of atmosphere, maybe a bit clunky for more modern sensibilities.

It is a mix of an action adventure in a relatively expansive world, with some light RPG touches but without any stat advancing, a lot of puzzles and inventory and some kind of parser based system in conversations, exploration and fights. But this game is more focused in story, quests (relatively open ended) and graphic adventure than combat

I'd say that this is an action adventure/graphic adventure with combats and The Summoning is a Dungeon Crawler with puzzles.

The missing Five Star titles are Panzer General I, Allied General and Panzer General III Scorched Earth

leaguehq: ...I bought both at the time.
I bought them both, too, but liked Archon Ultra a little more. Will still buy this release of Dark Legions.
Anyone can guess how long till we see them here?

On Steam it is advised as "May 2023" It could be tomorrow or in the next 15 days :P
I don't know if anyone from SNEG is reading this, but please get a hold of Drakan: Order of the Flame and give it the Blade of Darkness treatment! I'd love to see that game resurrected and on sale again!
Excellent titles! Great to see these classics revived and coming here!
Oh boy, can't wait for the Star General and Dark Legions!

Not sure about two others, although Ross Scott's video about Veil of Darkness made me a bit curious about this game.

Dishwashing service provider? Dubai space program? Double Siamese penetration?
Don't make me keep guessing...

You forgot the obvious: "digital signal processor" :evil:

But here it means Dyson sphere program.

Well, that's disappointingly prosaic.
:P
Ah, finally! I've been waiting for Veil for ages now! ;)
The Summoning is the sequel to another game called DarkSpyre, by the same developers.

For anyone interested, here is the wishlist entry:

the summoning and Star General looks interesting
It's good to see more releases like this. Dark Legion is an instabuy for me. Probably The Summoning too.
In light of the fact that the rest of SSI's General series is here (Fantasy, Star, Pacific, Panzer 2, Warhammer 40K Rites of War, People's, Panzer 3D Assault), is there a realistic chance that we could get the other 3 (Panzer 1, Allied, Panzer 3 Scorched Earth) to complete the series please?
