Return of the killer robots.



<span class="bold">Parkan: Iron Strategy</span>, a first-person action/strategy taking place in a planetary system populated by battle-hardened bots, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

The Labyrinth calls to you again. You're back in that network of war-ravaged planets, whose resources are being contested among several mechanical tribes, and you need to stand your ground. As a well-armed Captain, you can engage the enemy face-to-face with your devastating laser, 4-pack missile launcher, autocannon, or electromagnetic weapon, turning enemies to scrap or entering and clearing buildings to capture them. But you can also keep some distance, sending your killer-bot troops to do your dirty work and managing production and upgrades from inside one of your Command Bunkers or HQ robots. If you are feeling creative, you can even make warbots of your own design, then deploy them on the battlefield or hop inside them and spread fire on the local wildlife and your mechanical foes.



Command, fight, research, and pilot your army of killing machines in the five-part campaign of <span class="bold">Parkan: Iron Strategy</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

HypersomniacLive: Funny how devs/pubs seem to have no qualms when they delay the GOG release...
Exactly what I was thinking.

That's because I infiltrated your mind and planted the thought. ;-)
From what I remember hearing on the Parkan: TIC release thread, this game wasn't as good as the original; IIRC, "Parkan" is a word for spaceship, so apparently this game had to be entirely ground-based?

The fact that it seems to take the gameplay formula of Battlezone II or Uprising and meld it with the unit creation ability of Warzone 2100 makes it intriguing though.
Wishlisted. I need to beat the first Parkan game first.
Now for the Mechwarrior series :D?

Silverhawk170485: So GOG could release Offworld Trading Company. This game is on Steam since months. That's unfair too.
Probably delayed for galaxy client integration since Offworld is mostly just a multiplayer game. Singleplayer was added more as an aftertought. Its a competitive trading game hence multiplayer. Still would love to see it here.


As for this game it looks like Battlezone Redux or Uprising. I have enough of those type games for now.

Twas hoping we'd see what "Virgin Games" would show up here today, but at least we got our good old game this week. :)

no manual....great

Lord_Kane: no manual....great
Yeah, why on Earth would no manual be offered? It's a basic courtesy to at least provide a pdf of whatever manual was available when the game was first released.

If it's anything like Parkan I... man oh man, the manual is EXTREMELY needed.
It's crazy, though. I mean it! :)
Sorry GOG this game is unplayable without the manual.
so for now I am getting a refund.
once when an english manual is found. I will repurchase.
Possibly someone with more patience then me will get enjoyment out of it
but for now. no.

In the future try to find or acquire manuals okay?

It may very well be because the only available manual material that's readily available at present is in Russian. IIRC outside of Russia this game only had a very limited English release in Europe.
