The classic hack&slash saga continues!

Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, a dark hack&slash-type action-rpg with an original story and imaginative gameworld, is available at -20% for Windows, DRM-Free on GOG.com, with Book 1 available right now, and Book 2 planned for February 2015.

Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is the next chapter of the Heretic Kingdoms saga, set a few years after the events of Kult: Heretic Kingdoms, players are caught up in a terrible conspiracy and propelled upon an epic journey through a world of dark fantasy. Epic battles and unexpected plot twists await those brave enough to rise to the challenge! Take control of the Devourer, a demon that swallows the souls of the dead and brings them back into the mortal realm as puppets. But is the demon their master – or their servant?

If you played the classic Kult: Heretic Kingdoms (also known as Heretic Kingdoms: Inquisition, -50% in our sale right now!), if you enjoy dark fantasy stories full of demonic powers and ominous magic, or simply if you enjoy slicing and dicing through hordes of enemies, you should check out Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms with a special -20% promo for the first week on GOG.com!

Bought! I'm officially broken now, but at least my 666th game here has nicely fitting name :D

The original game was delightful! Although lack of minimap spoiled the impression.

Robette: So... I am interested... any early access customers here that can say a few words about the quality of the game?
Pro:
Interesting take on combat where you have four different "souls" to switch between, meaning you can switch between supernatural demon plus three of sword, bow, bomb thrower, and dual dagger classes (maybe more) for your combat. The demon lives in his own supernatural world so sometimes you switch between the mortal and supernatural world to solve puzzles. You can also clear a dungeon in the mortal realm, then switch to supernatural realm to clear out all the supernatural monsters as you head back to the dungeon entrance.

Con:
Concerned about weak crafting and lots of bugs. Today there was a major release day update that supposedly addressed these issues but I'd be surprised if they were all fixed, or that fixing some bugs didn't introduce others.
Also, it's not really combat heavy where you're wading through tons of monsters like Diablo or Torchlight. It's more a story-driven RPG with monsters to slay along the way. People buying this for a Diablo experience may be disappointed.

I think that's a plus! ;D
The first one was more like BG2 than diablo 2 as far as I can remember.

Reaper9988: Oh I didn't even know this was gonna be released so soon lol.

Well no regional pricing and it looks good, probably get this one on the weekend heh.
It is regionally priced, just apparently not for Europe. ^_^ When I go to the game page, I see the usual "fair price package" notice, albeit for such a small additional amount that I can't work out why they bothered...

moonshineshadow: New game? Yeah. And I see no regional pricing stuff. Double Yeah. Wishlisted for now until I have enough money :D
It is regionally priced now (for me it changed from $29.99 to $37.79 (-discount $7.60 -FPP $6.20= $23.99, the same amount as before the change)) :(

Yeah, but at least they still show the fair price package on the game's page.

Same here! The sale price was €19.89 (IIRC) a few hours ago and now it's €23.99 for me. :(

I already expected the game to be regional priced because once again GOG didn't list the price of the game in the release post (they've done that a few times before).
So is deceiving your costumers your new tactic to avoid complaints about regional priced releases, GOG?

How lame! I like the first Heretic Kingdoms but i just can't support this BS so i won't buy Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms here.

There is not many games made in Slovakia, so bought :) and I believe that it will be good. It has a lot of very positive reviews at steam.

Hey, I got Kult: Heretic Kingdom as CD bonus to a game mag years ago! I don't remember anything about it except I was surprised it was enjoyable and created by a Slovakian developer.
