I always played this game with my cousin. We used to play custom maps for hours on end when we were younger. I have only fond memories of this game and that's without having played the campaign once - that's why I'd love to have it on GoG; to relive those memories and to finally play the campaign.
Ah, all those custom maps and nights while blasting emo songs. The OG DotA before it got Gigabytes of graphics. Still want to play this on a handheld pc one day. With the technology we have today and GoG, one can wish for that day to happen. Plus, it's easier to get this here.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne isn't just a DLC — it’s a masterclass in how to expand upon a beloved game without compromising its core. Released in 2003, this expansion to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos elevated everything: story, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer depth, and modding tools. It took an already legendary RTS and pushed it into the stratosphere.
The campaign alone is worth the price of admission. It continues the dark, emotional tale of Arthas and his descent into becoming the Lich King — one of the most iconic villain arcs in gaming history. But beyond the narrative, The Frozen Throne introduced new units, heroes, and gameplay strategies for each faction, enriching the meta and making competitive matches even more dynamic and intense.
It also played a crucial role in shaping modern gaming. Thanks to the robust World Editor, The Frozen Throne gave rise to custom maps like Defense of the Ancients (DotA) — the mod that launched the MOBA genre. Without this expansion, there might never have been League of Legends or Dota 2.
Releasing this expansion on GOG would preserve a pivotal part of PC gaming history in a DRM-free, accessible format. With proper support for modern systems and the original art and gameplay intact — not the altered Reforged version — GOG could give both old-school fans and new players the definitive way to experience one of the greatest DLCs ever made.
Stella Deus: The Gate of EternityStella Deus is a story-driven tactical role-playing game in which the player controls a group of characters both picked up during the course of the story and in side events. The world is navigated using an overworld map using point-to-point navigation, with a date system showing the length of time it takes to get to a selected location. Alongside the story missions, Towns can be visited, in which characters can customize and create new weapons and armor, sell existing equipment in exchange for money, and shop for items such as healing potions. In camps set up on a journey, characters can swap out weapons and armor, equip items such as healing potions and beneficial charms for future battles. Special items used in character leveling can also be crafted by the player. Alongside story-based missions, there is a special dungeon called the Catacomb of Trials, where characters can battle and gain experience levels, raising their general statistics. The number of available levels in the Catacomb increases as players progress through the game. Each character has a specific character class, which they keep throughout the game and continue to level up as they gain experience points (XP). Higher amounts of XP are awarded for executing special abilities. Along with swordsmen and archers, there are alchemists (mages), priests (healers), and units who fight using most things from axes to fists.
Most battles are triggered based on story events, and are completed when the stated object has been accomplished by the player, be it defeating all enemies, defeating a boss, or performing a specific task. At the end of each battle, the players gain a summery of their performance and spoils gained. The game uses the turn-based Replaceable Action Position battle system, much of which was carried over from the battle system used in Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth. Players navigate the field across a grid-based map, which can include obstacles such as bodies of water and high structures. Character positioning within the environment can be used to their advantage, such as an archer gaining higher accuracy when at a high point in the level. Character actions are arranged in a set order, and each character's weapon dictates their attack range. Each time a character performs an action, they gain experience points and additional Skill Points (SP) that can be used to purchase supplies or raise individual character stats. Three types of Skills can be equipped for characters: Action Skills, a special attack that player execute for a certain amount of Magic Points (MP); Support Skills, which grant passive abilities such as scaling higher obstacles; and Zone Skills, which grant passive abilities to both the equipped character and those in close proximity to them.
Alongside Action Skills, two or more characters in conjunction trigger unique special moves called Team Attacks. The amount of damage done depends on how many characters took part in the action. Team attacks also increase the rewards gained at the end of battles. Characters' actions are governed by their stored Action Points (AP): a character's turn begins when their AP meter is at 100. A character's actions can continue until the meter reaches 0, meaning that they can move and attack multiple times within their turn. The amount of AP used with each action depends on the weight of the armor the character is wearing.
