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.

IAmSinistar: Hurrah, glad to see it here GOG. Onto the wishlist for now, mostly concerns with how smoothly it runs on non-game-centric computers (like mine), so will see how the reviews filter in about that.
Just try the demo and see for yourself

Ta, might do that. Though I have trouble enough getting to play all the games I already have, so maybe something that delays me from buying new ones is a good thing. :)

Thanks for Chains of Satinav! :D

Blackguards looks quite interesting.

Shaolin_sKunk: I seriously need some new hardware =(
Yeah, me too. This is my kind of game but can't run it.

In case anyone was wondering about the soundtrack, it's all in WAV format and, yes, the game page has been updated to show that :)

A bit beyond my means for something that I might like.

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

BadDecissions: No. I'll buy the Steam standard version, which is cheaper.

I normally don't make comments like that in a release thread, but I want to explicitly make a point: Steam carries two versions of this game, a standard one, and a deluxe one with things like an art-book. The games are the same in both cases. GOG insists on carrying one version, which costs extra for crap that I never will even download--guess who gets my business? Exact same thing with Raven, two versions of the game, GOG carries one of them, people posting in the release thread to say sorry, they'll buy it from the store that carries the version they want. Is it really so objectionable for GOG to carry multiple versions of the same game? They already do it with Dragon Commander.

DyNaer: Well; not all people have access to those prices, for me on Steam it's 36 euros, on GOG 30 euros.... so ....

I don't think we should look the price issue in this way :

GOG : price is the same all around the world , whatever people earn each month (that quite unfair ihmo)
STEAM : price are differents all around the world , for some reasons

actually the GOG version KILLS the standard edition on Steam, in the Euro zone. After that if you have russians friends that's anorther story ;)

I forget : IF GOG called this realease Special Edition, it's probably because of the soundtrack + wallpapers included, which ain't included on Steam with the Standard Edition, so i agree to the point ; it's a semi-deluxe edition :D. Aniway the term special is a bit ridiculous, there are plenty games on GOG with soundtracks and no Special Edition in their title >.>
It's called a Special Edition because it's the standard game sold along with the OST and other extras so there has to be some sort of name to differentiate it from the two versions being sold on another store.

It might not be a Special Edition, but I know we sell an Imperial Edition or Gold Edition of a few games with their OSTs :)

Please, do further so. It's great seeing new games here with German language support, soundtracks and more extras. I've bought it immediately to show my support for this policy and hope we will see a lot of more current games in this manner. :)

RS1978, we always try to do so but whether we're successful depends on a variety of factors :)

How about some old games with German and maybe hand scanned Handbuchs in German? :)

German Handbücher for German games would definitely appreciated. I still like to read the Gothic II manual every now and then, it's just beautifully done.

And of course, if you could add German language to The Guild, Spellforce, Spellforce 2, Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm and Sacred, I would like that very much. ;)

Didn't Gothic II Deutsch get the German manual in the installer? Unless I am thinking of another game? Check your shortcuts from the Start menu :)

edit: no more derailing this thread from me :)

I'm absolutely aware of that. :)


I know, it's not realistic to expect many current titles on GOG in the near future, but it's always a pleasure to see the seldom exceptions.

Even better, for Nostalgia's sake. I'm all aGOG with curiosity if you guys will bring more German versions of games I've already bought here - it's always such a nice suprise if an old buy gets a new update. ;)
