I used to play this as a kid on my dad's computer, and that's already a good reason to see it preserved forever by GOG, but that's not the only one. This game is a gem: it's not revolutionary in terms of mechanics, but the worldbuilding and the factions are really flashed out and interesting. The graphics are, to this day, lovley to look at, with lots of details and nice animations on the buildings, troops, maps and interface. It's not a revolutionary RTS like some of the big players, but it can be a surprising game if you give it some time.
Po raz pierwszy zetknąłem się z tą grą w czasach podstawówki i od tamtej chwili stała się ona dla mnie czymś wyjątkowym. Choć minęło wiele lat, nadal regularnie do niej wracam, ponieważ dostarcza mi niepowtarzalnych wrażeń i świetnej zabawy. Ma w sobie coś, co sprawia, że za każdym razem odkrywam ją na nowo, niezależnie od tego, ile razy już w nią grałem. Uwielbiam możliwość swobodnego eksplorowania i przedłużania rozgrywki według własnych zasad. Dlatego chciałbym zobaczyć ją na GOG – dla mnie to idealna platforma, ponieważ preferuję gry w wersji instalacyjnej, a nie w formie powiązanej z kontem, jak na Steam. Możliwość posiadania tej gry w kolekcji na GOG sprawiłaby, że mógłbym do niej wracać bez żadnych ograniczeń, ciesząc się nią dokładnie tak, jak lubię – bez DRM, w pełnej swobodzie, tak jak kiedyś.

The game takes place two years after the conclusion of the original game and takes you back to the epic adventure set in 1930’s fictitious Europe. In this sequel, you play as a group of young Gallian Military Academy cadets who find themselves plunged into a bitter civil war when the newly formed Gallian Revolutionary Army stages a coup. As the drama and battle unfold, you will experience stories of friendship, love and growing pains during a time of war and revolution.

This incredibly distinctive engine will power over 20 new distinct and visually stunning environments where you will have over 200 different missions to explore. For the first time ad-hoc Versus and Co-op multiplayer gameplay will now be available. The 'BLiTZ' battle system has also been re-designed to offer players the freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls, something never before seen in the tactical role-playing game genre.
This game adds some new unit classes and the ability to upgrade or change classes. It also changes the battle system to include multiple map areas that are unlocked as you take over enemy bases revealing more of the battlefield and allowing you to call units into that area.Action Fantasy Historical Warfare

Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles.
The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.Fantasy
