For those about to ROCK, we salute you!

Brütal Legend, an epic heavy metal tale of one exceptional roadie's way to rocking godhood in the timeless realm of thundering power chords, is available 33% off on GOG.com for Windows and Mac OS X. That's only $9.99 for the first week.

Eddie Riggs wasn't a roadie. He was the roadie. The best there ever was. That thing they say about him, that the elder gods of rock themselves called upon him to embody the spirit of heavy metal, that's probably true. So, how he ended up building stages and carrying guitars for the worst band of nu-emo-rap-metal posers, remains a mystery. They also say, however, that once horned angels leave a mark on a man's soul, he is destined for great things. Terrible, but great. That's why Eddie didn't stay confused long, when by ancient magic he was dragged straight into the middle of the hellish metal realm. With heart full of thunder, head full of raging riffs, and hands full of double-bladed battle axe, he rushed to meet the epic adventure, and probably violently knock out some of its teeth. This is his story: the tale of how the elder realm of rock was changed forever to remain the same.

Brütal Legend is a mixture of an action-RPG of the hack and slash pedigree, spiked with a serving of real-time strategy unit command. Most importantly, though, it's a tribute to all things heavy metal. It visits many iconic motifs of the true rock aesthetics and sports over a hundred heavy metal hymns from rocking giants as Judas Priest, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Manowar, and Slayer, among others, in its exceptional in-game soundtrack. The main character is voiced by the Hollywood's hardest rocker Jack Black, and the inhabitants of the elder realm speak with the voices of legends such as Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford, and--as the demonic über-villain--Tim Curry. Hell, this game even has Wil Wheaton! That explosive mixture of amazing artists, epic music, brilliant story, and bloody action-packed gameplay was conceived and developed by Tim Schafer and his insanely creative and creatively insane Double Fine team. If you're passionate about any of the mentioned elements, you will instantly fall in love with this awe-inspiring game!

Set off on the highway to hell and pick your heavy metal destiny while the blazing thunders of rock blaze through your skull in Brütal Legend, for only $9.99 on GOG.com. The 33% off offer lasts until Tuesday, July 29, at 9:59AM GMT.

Double Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!

Good to see it here as well, will have to grab another copy at some point.
Great! Now I can support both GOG and help Broken Age to actually be finished at the same time
Woohooo! Metal! Rock on!
I already got the soundtrack edition on steam so reason to buy it again (also, I've got the DRM-free version from the bundle). Nice to complete the Double Fine collection here.

Also, I definitely recommend this game. I got a lot of fun playing it.
As usual, too little too late GOG.
I'll just wait for a 75% off sale.
yeah, now we're rockin'!

wait, do you mean I've been slaying hot chicks this whole time?!

how big was the MP for this?
was it all server or was there a TCP/IP local option on the other versions (ex DRM-free (?) humblebundle/store version)

the screenshots GOG chose to use make it seem more interesting that i was anticipating it.

might have to camp on this one for some deep discounting sales of the future.
WoW, GOG did it again.
Sadly i don't have enough cash to buy it and dl is OoO. But if i ever get a faster con thats one of the games on my wishlist.
Humble Bundle version has a partial soundtrack included... Also a Linux version...

Really, I'm starting to be a bit disappointed with GOG. They've used to release definitive/complete versions of games with all extras included...

The game on PC is a steamworks title. HB DRM-Free executable also lacks multiplayer. The original releases (store) were on consoles.
No idea about how big the MP is for this though :(


Edit: Also, including the titles removed from the catalogue, this is GOG's 600th release. They should have waited for 66 more releases I'd say, Eddie would have liked that ;)

Fortunately I don't care about the multiplayer, so buying now. For the good cause. :)
I already bought it via Gamersgate a while ago, unfortunately... Yes, I should have waited, definitely .
I'm hesitant to buy The Sting! and Faces of War now, they might end up being released on GOG pretty soon for all I know.

Weird. I'd have been so enthusiastic about this release a few months ago. Now I only feel disappointment that today's release is not a different game, one that wasn't able available DRM-free before. I've become that spoilt. :/

I mean, it's a great release, I just wish Double Fine & GOG had released it earlier, as video games and particularly the indie scene are a fast moving business. Then again, that way of thinking is probably akin to blashempy on a site selling games from the late 80's, so I guess it's all good. Better late than never! :)

(I still wonder why companies choose to "sell off" their games in cheap bundles before finally bringing them to GOG. The other way around would make more sense to me ...)

cool
as long as all the DRM-free versions are lacking MP, and not just the GOG one for "misc reasons out of control".

my only other Q would be about the 'full soundtrack' but im sure that will be made clearer in the thread as people buy it and compare with other versions out there.

or lack of soundtrack?
