A survival dungeon crawler deeply rooted in Norse mythology. Niffelheim is now available DRM-free on GOG.COM with a 75% discount until 13 January 2020, 2 PM UTC.

Our hero is a Viking warrior who fell on the field of battle. Instead of feasting in halls of Valhalla, his founds his spirit tossed into the dark and dangerous world of Niffelheim where he must struggle to avoid fate even worse than death.

How the fuck may it not be possible to bring a DLC here ?, who the fuck let this crippled game pass the curation ? and now this dev should be blacklisted for bringing this turd here !

It's mindblowing really and pls excuse the rant but devs doing stuff like this is so frustrating.

Was gonna pick this up and read this release thread. Thanks all for the warning about the incomplete game! I wonder if GoG knew how botched this release is.

MarkoH01: Already got a reply (only asked about the DLC):

"we do not promise yet, because not sure that it is possible.
as we will figure out with it we will bring it on GOG"
What? Did the DLC add DRM?

I told them what I think about their reply and already got a new one. I guess at least they realized that I mean what I said. See attachment.

7. Multiplayer mode is supported when DLC is present.(from the description of the DLC) - This might be the problem why the DLC is not here.

I think that just means if you play it in multiplayer mode the game adept the difficulty towards it, For instance, if you are playing with a friend it won't turn back to normal difficulty mode. The DLC itself is an Easier mode for the game which makes it feel less like a grind.

You seem to be right. I might have misunderstood the idea on the first read.

I completely understand how you feel. At least I will have to say that the devs answered nearly immediately after I contacted them on facebook so that's a good sign. Maybe they wanted to go the easy route and will really add the DLC in future. Once again: you should contact the devs and tell them about how you feel and also telling them that you won't buy otherwise. Especially indie devs are dependent on as many sold copys as possible so we will have to make them know that it will be THEIR loss if they don't treat us right and won't achieve the requested/desired numbers here on GOG.

blotunga: I can live with the lack of multiplayer... But lack of DLC?
What about the lack of Mac/Linux versions? That are on Steam.

dgnfly: Kinda curious, But isn't GOG doing false advertisement? seeing as when you go the games page it states GAME FEATURES: ''Multi-player'' and there isn't any.
"Notes: Online Multiplayer requires Galaxy authentication."
is on GOG so it SHOULD support multi player at least with Galaxy.

Edit: It seems that actually is the case.

Yep but also often you get completely nonsensical replies ( like you got with the DLC) that seem cut off halfway to the finished sentence to avoid telling the whole truth, i despise dealing with devs like these and have no idea how you continue to without pulling your hair out but thx it's appreciated.

Your right however we need to tell them and preferably in numbers.

Oh damn the game seem to lack everything or nearly.

I see it as a challenge which I try to win and sometimes I even do. With all those possibilities like discord, facebook, twitter, e-mail you can be really annoying to devs and I am somebody who does not like to give up easy and in most cases and mostly I also have the better arguments ... sometimes I even enjoy it. However it should not be the case that we have to fight so often ... GOG should do this for us that's what curation is about.

It ain't no secret they're pretty bad at that.

Loger13: Does it have multiplayer (co-op) via LAN / DC?

dgnfly: When I start the game it only gives me the option of Single-player. made a review on the game warning player for that.
EDIT; seems they already removed my review warning people of missing features.
Were you using Galaxy when you started the game? Option might be hidden when not using it?

They are even worse in communicating in the forums imo. Judas come back ... I want to see much more blues here.

So I pass. I prefer GOG not for installing another too niche store client.
If I need a store with a client, I will go to Steam.
