Rise from the ashes of a dying world



<span class="bold">Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem</span>, an open-world ARPG where you will be able to shapeshift into highly customizable forms, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Humanity appears to be at the twilight of its reign over this world. You, on the other hand, are growing in power, exhibiting a (un)natural proficiency in wielding magic. For that you will be feared, persecuted, hunted. But your formidable talents will help you survive long enough to come across an enigmatic sect of Templars who wish to recruit you. Soon your path will become clearer, but your trials and tribulations are going to grow harder still.

WOLCEN Studio turned to early access so that they can gather precious feedback on their ambitious project and sustain its independent development. Thanks to CRYENGINE's power, the game's visuals already look captivating, as do the spectacular spell combos that will be at the core of Wolcen's gameplay. The developers admit that a lot of the intended content, including the Apocalyptic Forms, is still absent from the game but, similar to the protagonist, it is constantly growing and morphing into an impressive beast.



Expose the horrifying truth behind mankind's gradual extinction in the epic tale of <span class="bold">Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Note: This game is currently in development. See the <span class="bold">FAQ</span> to learn more about games in development, and check out the forums to find more information and to stay in touch with the community.

Maybe? With so many finished RPGs being turned out, an early access RPG where "a lot of the intended content is still absent" is a kind of hard sell, but I'll keep an eye on it.

hummer010: I wouldn't have a dagger of Parmesan cheese for very long. I'd soon have a belly full of Parmesan cheese, and be fighting barehanded. That might be the best way to wield a dagger of Parmesan cheese anyways.
Not so sure about that, depends on its age ;-)

Starmaker: I watched their kickstarter character customization video. It's possible to separately choose the color of each eye, and hair vs beard color. But no option to play a female character.

hummer010: Gersen already pointed it out, but a female player character is coming. It was a stretch goal that was acheived. I'm not sure if it's in the current build or not.
Apparently both the name of the dev studio AND the name of the game they're developing have changed since the Kickstarter campaign finished? I actually thought Gersen's link was for a completely different project until I followed a link to umbragame.com and it displayed the updated game title when the page loaded.

Yup. The kickstarter was for the name Umbra. I'm a backer - I sent an email today asking for a GOG key. Haven't heard back yet.

Can't wait til it's finished, looks as though it's yet another insta-buy from me!
And thanks to the devs for releasing it here as well as steam!!

I asked in the kickstarter comments. Devs stated we will be getting GOG keys.

joppo: Now that you mention it that's something that should be shown in a more unmistakable way. But I won't be as harsh as you are - it's still in development after all.

really? no female character???? uuuugh. i've gotten so used to being able to pick my gender, not being able to on generic ones is super aggravating.



When I first saw this i though, "yay another freakin' turn-based RPG or strategy game". I was very excited to see this is a hack-n-slash. Reading the reviews on steam, it seems to have a lot of good going for it. Not sure if i'm gonna get it early, but i wish listed it anyways. Thanks gog for putting something out that isn't turn-based or strategy. :)

meh, no i hate to be thought of as following trends. I'll make a thread about how awesome it is that no girlz are allowed in the game and that all women, every single one, are stupid and shouldn't be let out of the kitchen. and then watch as people get confused, angry or agree. then Judas will get a billion pm's and have to shut it down.


actually, this sounds really fun... *pulls at pretend beard*

Just get a real beard, made out of cotton candy. That way, when you pull at it, you get delicious candy!
