Looks so generic and bland from surface impressions but I dunno.

So, clunky controls and bad translations?

Awesome thanks I'll look into it, looks like fun

I red the Linux version is possible in the near future. I'll wait for it. I just hope lack of Galaxy for Linux or any kind of Steam lock-in won't deter its release here.

they refused to provide linux versions of tropico and crookz on gog, so i wouldn't count on it...

I have got an email from Kalypso in the last year that they want to give us the linux port on gog, too. I hope they do it really.....

Edit:
I wrote them an email again. I will tell you what they would say in the future.......

Thanks! I hope GOG and developers won't mess it up again. Too many Linux games don't come out on GOG, despite having Windows versions here already.

Please give them feedback too.....

Thanks for the pointer. I commented there.

I have read lots of complaints about the movement on the PC and a potential bug on the first level boss. Does anyone know if this includes the GOG version? No sense buying it if it clunky or buggy.

Yes and yes, but the game's pretty entertaining thus far. Maybe not full-price-entertaining for someone on the fence about it, but I'm liking it quite a bit.

The keyboard and mouse controls are weird (rebindable, though I don't know how one would rebind them to be any less so), but give you quite a bit of control once you get used to them. You can, for example, be running forward and instantly dodge backwards. It's definitely more comfortable on a controller, though. As for the first boss bug, the GOG version definitely has it, but there's a workaround where you beat it and then wait to die from the cold. Then you start from the checkpoint right before the boss fight and beat it again and everything works. I've beat a couple bosses since and haven't had anything similar happen, so it's not universally or overwhelmingly buggy, but that was definitely frustrating when it happened.

I'm sure it'll be fixed properly in time, though. The developers are pretty great about that kind of thing; they're the ones who went to bat for Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms after their publisher went under before the game was finished. They're apparently still working on finishing that game even though it'd probably be more profitable to abandon it, which is pretty admirable.

Thank you 227 for the reply! I want to purchase the game, but I think I will wait a bit for the fixes, just to be sure, then I will more than likely purchase it, as the game does look very interesting.

Star Vikings looks like a cartoonish grade school game. I can see why most would pass on it. Soon as I see them look that I don't even give it the time of day.

Dammit! I really need to get a grip on my finances so I can get a modern computer!
