I was, and still am, an avid player of Rise of Nations. One day, while looking for something to play I found this game using the name Rise of Nations and I thought it was some kind of expansion. No, it actually was a fully developed game with a steampunk esthetic. While I never played multiplayer, I absolutely loved the cheesy campaign and the music. I hope we can bring this and Armies of Exigo to GOG!
I grew up playing this game and it really fueled my love for great story driven video games ! The campaign and the cutscenes were awesome and I hope to play it with friends one day.
I played this game back when I was a teenegar. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends was made with so much soul; the fantasy, the civilizations, the units design speak of the level of dedication the game received.
It was part of the classical gang of RTS games from Microsoft and overall from the good RTS games, it's a cousin of an excellent game, Rise of Nations, too. Anyways we deserve to buy this game, there are no stores where we can't get digital copies right now.
Please we need to make Rise of Legends come to GOG store.
This game was a big part of my childhood, I remember going back from school and just playing skirmish mode for hours, steampunk aesthetic is sooo good. I still have the original box along with CDs, unfortunately it doesn't work on Windows 11 no matter what I do. Oh I would do anything just to play it again like I did all those years ago. This game sparked my love for RTS games
Loved playing this game when it originally came out, love the mix of Clockpunk and Magic and just found the setting to be really interesting. Would love to see it on running on modern computers.
This game is still a lot of fun! Unique setting blending fantasy, steampunk, and other elements. Similar gameplay loop to Rise of Nations but with more city-based gameplay and three very unique factions. It also runs right out of the box on newer operating systems without any tricks, and it plays well at 4k resolution and high refresh rates. Wish list for a light "extended edition" remaster: modern multiplayer, UI scaling options for 4k, interpolate some choppy animations to make them smoother, hd texture pack, increased shadow mapping resolution.
I absolutely adore this RTS and have played through the lengthy campaign numerous times when I recently rediscovered the game. The unique races, their visuals and their differences in play, is why Rise of Legends is one of my favorites. That, and I can't get the music out of my head. These days, I believe the game has been abandoned but I would, without a doubt, pay for an updated or remastered copy. For starters, it's UI looks tiny in 4K (though the visuals still hold up), and it's animation framerate could use a boost to modern standards. Please bring this classic back to life on GOG!
Giacomo on his combat walker and his clockwork soldiers were fun to use. And eventually getting access to the Cuotl tech made the steampunk vibe sweet. That you were forced to choose between taking your Vinci or Alin forces at the latter part made for good replayability.

It Came from the DesertIt Came From the Desert is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film Them in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been looking for.
The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.Action Horror Thriller Science fiction

Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth
Metal Gear Solid: Peace WalkerMetal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth video game and is the third action-based Metal Gear title made specifically for the PSP. The gameplay consists of two primary modes: Mission and Mother Base. Mission are the actual action sequences of the game where the player must infiltrate an enemy territory or fight a boss, whereas Mother Base is an army management. Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula: the player is now unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the first game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling ability.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth
