Nordic In-n-Out: complete your Nordic Games catalog with titles like The Guild series, the Spellforce saga, and Black Mirror 1&2 up to 90% off!

How you like THEM apples?!! We teamed up with our friends at Nordic to bring back their games to GOG.com for one more brief but glorious stint. Their entire catalog will be available for purchase for the next 4 days and it's an offer you can't refuse. You can get all the great titles at individual discounts ranging from 75% to 85%, or you can complete your Nordic catalog with all the missing games at 90% off! Let's take a look at some of the highlights on offer.

The Spellforce series delivers an RTS/RPG mixture depicting a fantasy saga of epic proportions. With a vast realm to explore and conquer, a huge collection of story-driven scenarios, and many memorable character, this series is something that every strategy and RPG fan should try at least once, especially when it's 85% off.

Painkiller: Black Edition is everything you love about old-school first person perspective shooters delivered in a good-looking, demonic package. The protagonist of the game takes on the denizens of hell and delivers a royal whooping to the fallen angel host and their monstrous pets. With incredible weapon design, satisfying fast-paced gameplay, and hordes of foes to shred to pieces, this game will satisfy your need for ultimate badassdom.

And let's not forget about the one-two combo of the acclaimed Gothic series with Gothic 2 Gold Edition and Gothic 3 available 85% off. Prepare yourself for a long and enjoyable visit to the realm of Myrtana full of peril and mystery.

There are many more gems among the 35 titles included in the promo so make sure you head on to the promo page and pick your own Nordic notables. Make haste, the games will only be available for purchase for the next 96 hours! The offer lasts until Tuesday, December 23, at 10:59AM GMT.

IronArcturus: How does Spellforce 2 compare to Spellforce 1?
More RPG team based combat, less base building and support units.

Maybe Nordic wants regional pricing without Fair Price Package (unacceptable by GOG) and they already know what VPNs are? It this is the case, then bringing them back "permanently" won't be easy.

Speaking of VPNs - I wonder how GOG exactly dislike them (they are mentioned under FPP in the TOS):
1. They don't recommend them - better pay more and use extra money later, but if you really want to pay less, you can.
2. They hate them - don't even try to workaround FPP or you'll get punished.

More RPGs are always a welcome in my book.

Are the stories connected or can you play both games independently of each other, in any order?

What games would be good for trading later?
Gothic 2 seems like a good choice,any others that would be good?

I played the second game first. :-)
They can be played in any order.

The second game is based on hero units and feels like an RPG. Base buildng and resource management is pretty basic. As I remember Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars had only 3-4 maps with base building and Dragon Storm even fewer. I haven't played Demons of the Past yet.

Edit: In spellforce games you can travel to different maps in an RPG style (e.g. through portals or roads).

Leroux: Your unexpected generosity makes me feel like Ebenezer Scrooge. :D Thank you, Squib of Christmas Yet To Come, I'll try to pay it forward!
You're very welcome...sorry for the slow reply :P

FoxySage: Can't really justify buying the whole catalog for four games even though i'll lose 5% of the discount.

How are The Book of Unwritten Tales: The critter chronicles and the Desperados games? Any good?
Check PM and find out for yourself :)

MaxFulvus: Snip....
I can't speak about Desperados 2 : Cooper's revenge because I don't own it :(
You do now, check PM.

Sounds great! How did you like Dragon Storm compared to Shadow Wars?

Their game mechanics are about the same, but Shadow Wars is a longer game with more content. Dragon Storm is a stand-alone expansion of Shadow Wars.

I feel like being generous.

Three different people tell me a game out of this Nordic sale that you want, and I'll buy you a copy (one game per person).

Just let me know what you want and I'll PM you a code :)

More Christmas free key fun:

Now on to the bells with the much loved role-playing game, SILVER.

Complete the password with letters from the song Auld Lang Syne.

The two missing letters are the first letters of the fifth and eighth word of the song.

As always, remember to post when you redeem it so others know it's gone. Enjoy.

Big Hint:
Auld Lang Syne

Generally a bad idea to drop open codes, even lightly encrypted ones, since there's plenty of lurkers who won't bother saying anything. Still, have yourself a Happy Christmas!

JinseiNGC224: I feel like being generous.
That's a great gesture, props!

I'm feeling a bit playful, so here's a thought: I have Gothic 2, both Desperados, and both Aquanox. Out of the rest, there's a pretty eclectic group of good titles I've never tried. So, please pick your favourite, and I'll try it out :-)

I apologise if you were hoping that someone with a concretely wishlisted item would benefit. If so, please disregard my frivolity ;)

I got a lot of great Nordic games today. I heavily considered the whole catalog, but I won't play most of them, but I am glad to have picked up the Spellforce series and Silver.
