The Dark Eye gazes upon you!

Blackguards Special Edition, an engaging RPG in the world of the Dark Eye with deep tactical combat mechanics, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's $40.49 for the first week!

<i>The Dark Eye</i> (or rather, <i>Das Schwarze Auge</i>) is to the German role-playing gamers what <i>Dungeons and Dragons</i> is to their US counterparts. For exactly 30 years now, the brave adventures have roamed the land known as Aventuria. It witnessed epic campaigns, secretive plots, and strange magical happenings--everything that makes a place <i>real</i> in player's imagination. Now, Daedalic Entertainment, the german game-dev powerhouse that ventured into the world of The Dark Eye in their adventure games, [url=http://www.gog.com/game/the_dark_eye_chains_of_satinav]Chains of Satinav and Memoria, gives you a whole new and original story to experience. And this time--it's an RPG.

Blackguards Special Edition, a new turn-based strategy RPG, places the fate of the land in the hands of a pack of misfits, convicts, and outcasts. In its grim, yet engrossing gameworld, you will discover over 180 unique hex-based battlegrounds within a dark and mature story of crime, drugs, and murder. Play as a warrior, mage or hunter and customize your character's skills as you see fit. The challenging campaign delivers a story of doubt, treason and loss. You decide the course of the story at key turning points and determine its outcome. The game comes with a full soundtrack in WAV format (no lossy MP3 compression here, nope!), and video interviews with its creators.

Set out on an adventure unlike any other, and get to know the party of unlikely heroes of Blackguards Special Edition, for only $40.49 on GOG.com. The 10% off release discount offer lasts until Wednesday, January 29, at 3:59PM GMT.

Notice:
We'd like to invite you to an AMA event GOG.com and Daedalic Entertainment is currently holding on . Feel free to come, ask the creators of Blackguards some questions and pick up a complimentary copy of [url=http://www.gog.com/game/the_dark_eye_chains_of_satinav]Chains of Satinav.
Is experience with Chains of Satinav/Memoria required for this one?

It's also been ages since I played Drakensang. I never got to play the add-ons.

I believe this is a self-contained story :)
Playing the demo right now and liking what I'm seeing. The price unfortunately is a bit prohibitive for me but I'll definitely pick it up as soon as I can! I'll buy it here on GOG, but I would really like that map.

DyNaer: GOG : price is the same all around the world , whatever people earn each month (that quite unfair ihmo)

timppu: It is not any more unfair than that someone e.g. in US makes 1000x times more money than another person in the same country, yet the Steam price is the same for both just because they happen to live in the same region. Same goes for e.g. a carton of milk.

Games are luxury items anyway, and there are games in lots of different price brackets with deep discounts and PWYW bundles here and there, so there are enough dirt cheap games for everyone to buy, even without regional pricing. Not everyone can afford a Ferrari either, so they buy a Toyota or a Dacia instead.
My only point was : Whatever the country you live, a game will have the same price; which is not the case with Steam. I agree about the differents factors inside the same country.

And if you speak about bundle, there are too few cases where a gog key is part of it.

Thank you GOG Team! Finally a new and good game that I don't have to buy from Steam. As soon as I get a few bucks spare I will buy this (just bought an apartment and have to buy lots of stuff).
Looks interesting.

As interested as I am in the game, I'll have to wait on getting it, wait for a promo or something. Plus I'm in the middle of other games that are taking all my time and will probably for the next few months.
Wishlisted for now. BTW, what's the relationship between this game and Chains of Satinav ? Are they just in the same game world, or is it deeper than that ?
Interested and tempted, but it'll have to wait. Spent enough money last couple of weeks. Wishlisted for now.

JudasIscariot: That and WAV is lossless so, to me at least, converting from one lossless format to another is rather redundant, no? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong :)

triock: Well, Flac is also compressed. :p
It comes in a ZIP archive, no? Besides people would start complaining that they can't play and don't know what to do with FLAC files. WAVs fairly are ubiquitous.
Wow. Just noticed theyr giving away 40 THOUSAND copies of chains of satinav via reddit.
Thank you, GOG and Daedalic Entertainment both for the free game and the DRM-free Blackguards. :)
I must be hopelessly addicted to rpgs...
Looks interesting...unfortunately I have a lot of games on my plate already with Wasteland 2 and Divinity OS. I will put it on my wishlist for future purchase. Why are people complaining about .wav files. I'd rather have wav than mp3. You can always convert the files to flac with no loss if needed.

BananaJane: This site's getting so cluttered with bad games
In what way is Blackguards bad?
