You must succeed where the greatest of heroes has failed.

It’s been a while since there has been a new RPG on GOG.com shelves, but today we offer [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/soulbringer]Soulbringer on GOG.com for only $5.99.

Let’s conduct a little thought excercise here: If you were an average person living in the mystical world of Rathenna and your father was killed and your uncle Adrus turned out to know a lot about magic, ancient warriors, and demons, would you rather:

a) ignore your crazy uncle, live on a farm, raise a family, and live a long and boring life or,
b) learn magic, learn sword-wielding, awaken your powers inherited from your past lives, and slay ancient demons, preserving the world for all?

Those of you who decided that option “a” sounds a little too dull have a chance to jump into the fantasy world of Soulbringer, an action RPG in the spirit of other classic hack and slash games of the era.

Soulbringer is one of those “hidden gems” that we love to bring up to the surface here on GOG. It was buried in an avalanche of other fantastic cRPGs released in the year 2000 (Diablo II, Icewind Dale, and Baldur’s Gate II all came out that year!), but if it had been released in a different year, it would likely also be one of the classic RPGs we all know and love. The things that make a well-crafted piece of action fantasy gaming, like a unique combat system, well-constructed magic, a long and involving storyline, and the indefinable ‘joy factor’ are all here and make Soulbringer the perfect addition to your fantasy/RPG shelf.

Soulbringer is the kind of RPG that offers a lot of action and fun and is definitely worth buying on GOG.com for only $5.99.

:D
Never heard of this game before.... which inevitably means I'll end up buying it on sale to figure out what it is.
Can't say I've ever heard of yes. Looks interesting.
Oh, neat! This game was sold with Planescape Torment on those budget two-game packs that Interplay released a few years ago.
Sweet! I still have my physical copy here, but I really enjoyed this game. It was bloody hard at points until you learned the systems in question (and sometimes even then depending on what you found yourself up against) but I always wished a few more people had known about it.
Game page says the combat and magic system can be as simple or complex as I'd like. What's that mean?
Never played this one, but looks good. Wishlisted for a future purchase
This looks promising. I've heard of it, but never played it. Wishlist it is.
Another game to add to the wishlist of games I want :D

From what I've read, you can either use BUTTON SPAM DIE MONSTER!!! (e.g. using spells and different kinds of weapon attacks using different mouse buttons and/or hot-keys), or you can create special macro-attacks, which allow you to string two or more attacks and/or spells together, and bind them to a key or mouse button. Thus, in exchange for a bit of forethought and trial-and-error, you can potentially save yourself a lot of keystrokes during battle!

Of course, given as I have no practical experience with Soulbringer whatsoever, I can't vouch for the validity of the above information. Therefore, please take what I say with a grain of salt, so to speak.
Hey, is this game working well for anybody who's bought it? :)
Yay, looks really good. Ill definately pick it up.
