The Pit goes on even deeper now!

Sword of the Stars: The Pit: MindGames DLC, an expansion pack adding two new playable characters, new insane-er gameplay mode, new locations, and new gameplay features to the challenging Sci-Fi roguelike, is available for only $4.99 on GOG.com.

[url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/the_pit_mindgames_dlc]Sword of the Stars: The Pit: MindGames is a shiny example of DLC that truly deserves to be called an expansion! MindGames adds so much new content and features to Sword of the Stars: The Pit, that it can significantly change the way you play the game. You get two new playable characters, one of which--the telekinetic Psion--is the reason for the pack's title. The second one is the first playable alien--the Tarka Ranger. Two new play modes are being added, one of them allows you to play indefinitely, the other--aptly called "Seriously? Mode"--delivers even higher difficulty level to the hardcore gamers that find the "Insane Mode" falling short of their masochistic expectations. There are ten new levels waiting to be explored, including the new vast biosphere environments. Even the gameplay mechanics experience an overhaul with the addition of XP and item "banking" system, allowing some boost for the starting characters. If you thought you knew The Pit, think again!

For more challenge and depth in your favorite Sci-Fi roguelike, grab Sword of the Stars: The Pit: MindGames DLC on GOG.com for only $4.99. You know you need it!

NOTE:
This version of the DLC works exclusively with the GOG.com DRM-free Sword of the Stars: The Pit game.

Definitely wishlisted. Still mulling over whether to wait for a sale later ;)

Congratulations to GOG on getting this before Steam, and for doing a promo on the main game as well.

Wishlisted at the moment as I don't own the main game and don't have time to play it if I did :) Nice addition though, and the main game looks amazing.

I liked this game, but I now have one where it's going well and I stopped playing it because I don't want to lose the nice game it is, with some nice items, an upgraded laser gun and such. So I haven't played in weeks.

The original game is good. Will pick this up later, nice surprise GOG.

sslaybac: I realize this is probably the best deal GOG could negotiate with Kerberos, but it's still a raw deal. I don't think DLC focused games have a place on GOG. You may wish to inform Kerberos that someone who was strongly considering buying their main game has stopped considering.

A (hopefully) constructive suggestion: next time a DLC shows up for a game, upgrade the existing version, then raise the price. This would reward people who got the game earlier, while still allowing you to get back the expense of acquiring the DLC.
Why would the devs even bother working on an expansion if gog just gives it away for free?

Because selling the DLC on the cold market and simultaneously raising the bar on entry makes perfect economic sense.

Oh wait, it doesn't.

I don't like DLCs and don't wanna see on GOG.

Many others do. We voted as such.

Agreed. With a new game the only way to get more of it is to have it expanded in some way, or to wait for a sequel. I'm fine with calling expansions DLC, and with the existence of them here as long as it has merits. I'm not wild about some DLC practices out there, but I don't think this is some shameless ploy to milk us for cash. It appears to be a good old fashion expansion to what was a good value for cost game. If you buy them both it's all of $15, or if you don't the base game has more than enough content to warrant its cost.

I say take each DLC by its own merits. Don't blacklist the lot of them because there are some rotten DLC apples out there. More over don't suggest that I can't have more pit. I want more pit, and I'm glad I get it DRM-Free.

Interesting.

But I'll wait for a sale, as the game wasn't worth 10 bucks, so I am not giving them full money for DLC.

I picked up SotS in one of the summer sale bundles. I wasn't really interested in the game, I just bought it to get the special price for Costume Quest, but I booted it last night and played for 6 hours straight (minor pauses for those pesky bodily needs). Now, I'm considering getting this expansion/DLC, regardless of it being on sale or not. If this has the same quality as the main game, I don't see a reason not to. In the meantime, I gotta find some armor for my scout.

I don't know how good you are in the original game but I have noticed that on Normal, my Rangers and Psions keep dying around floor 5-6. Some of that I can attribute to Ghost Makers (they look like spiders made out of brains O_o ) who just LOVE to slap on poison level 5 and then run away while singing "Trololololo!". Meanwhile, I am trying to walk off the poison but that ain't happening :D.
