Release of the Beast.

Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition (also known as: Kult: Heretic Kingdoms), a sleek isometric fantasy action RPG with many interesting gameplay ideas, set in a vast gritty world deprived of hope, but filled with monsters and dangers, is available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

At the first glance, the sword seemed like nothing special. Yes, the craftsmanship was excellent, and you could see that its creator went to great lengths to make the weapon look as ominous as a piece of steel can get, but there were many similar blades across the land. If anything, this one looked a little bit rusty and battered up. It was only as she reached for the hilt, when a slight vibration could be noticed. Like an electric charge hitting her hand. For a moment, the blade seemed to be gleaming--barely noticeable inner shine. What she thought to be flakes of rust shined in crimson red, like fresh blood embedded into the metal itself. But then, nothing special happened. She just stood there, holding the sword, looking at it in silence. Nobody else would even notice, but she knew. In her hand, rested the blade that tasted the blood of god. The Godslayer.

Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition is a classic action-rpg that has the ambition of delivering some original ideas an making your experience unique. It makes sure that upon completion, you won't just feel like you've completed another generic hack-and-slash. It succeeds by the means of excellent storytelling, dynamic gameplay, and some original RPG mechanics. If you are a fan of the genre, but somehow you managed to overlook this title in the past, you're up for one satisfying experience! The GOG.com edition of the game comes with a full MP3 soundtrack.

Adventure awaits, so go on--discover the land that needs hope and decide if it deserves it in Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

NOTICE:
GOG.com team would like to thank our users: IAmSinistar for finding the rights holder for Heretic Kingdoms and tfishell for passing on the information to us. Without your help, we wouldn't have the game today so thanks again for your assistance in making this release possible. This is why GOG.com community rocks, guys!

JudasIscariot: Rule of Cool means "it's like this because it sounds cool!" :P
Also avoids confusion with this:

(aka Kult: The Temple of Flying Saucers - European Title)

Edit - although, thinking about it, this titles could INVITE confusion with that other 'Heretic' game that uses the Doom engine, I suppose!

I love that page. It's very informative in a rather methodical way even though it's about fiction. Interesting expression too.

As for the game, it looks interesting. I might just grab this during Christmas.
This looks a bit scratchy, but fun. Will probably pick this up when I have more time.

Hurrah! Glad I could help bring a good old game to GOG, and extra plaudits for the price point! A bit of extra joy on my Thanksgiving now.

I've already asked Cauldron before and there are rights issues preventing it.
Never heard of this one either. This is an instant buy! I love these older releases!
Shit, this or Fist Puncher? This isn't discounted so there is no rush and yet it looks so cool. My head aches. :O
Thanks for the nice addition GOG, IAmSinistar and tfishell. Wishlisted for now (too big backlog :-p).

lugum: Now System Shock 1 and Grim Fandango. :p
System Shock 1 is high on my list to get here. Especially if it can be bundled with the high resolution and mouselook patches.

There is one other game I was working on getting here which was showing a lot of promise, but the rights holder seems to have gone quiet. Hopefully the GOGlords have been able to establish contact again, as I think it would be quite nice to have here.
So someone says the game is no good. Can anyone provide a counterpoint?
Looks like a good game.
