Price drop, fixes and free DLC!

<span class="bold">Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms</span>, a heavy hack'n'slash action RPG with a two-sided twist, just received a price-drop, free DLC for everyone who owns the game, and a few tweaks and updates! To make the deal sweeter, the game is also 50% off for the next week!

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? Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is the first part of a sequel to the classic Kult: Heretic Kingdoms (also known as Heretic Kingdoms: Inquisition), it's a tale of a world and its shadows - both of which you will walk with grace to overcome anything in your path, but beware that each world presents it's own dangers and challenges.

On top of the permanent price-drop, the game is now updated with plenty of tweaks and bug fixes and a French language version. For even more gameplay, originally-exclusive DLC is now free for everyone! The DLC includes three new quests: Tholean Tablet, The Owl Amulet and The Scorpion King.


If you're eagerly awaiting Book 2 of the story, the devs are preparing an impressive technological update to the game which will allow them to execute every bit of new content and gameplay planned into the sequel, no cutting corners. They should have more news on the update and progress on Book 2 production later in the year.


<span class="bold">Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms</span> is now available better and cheaper than ever, DRM-free on GOG.com. The promo will last one week, until Friday, September 4, 10:59 AM GMT.

Nice to see that the devs finally own the game rights again. Looking forward to book two.

Edit: Where is the patch to be found? There is only the whole game available under downloads.

Excellent. I was afraid this game had been forgotten and the promised material was going to just be vaporware. Great news indeed. GoG and its partners are really putting together a memorable summer for this place. They strained my wallet big time and didn't even do a summer sale yet.

So happy developers got the rights back to the game they are great guys and i felt bad they got shafted by publisher.

It is a very good rpg and well worth the buy.

I'm quite surprised there is no discount, as devs announced on their FB :

"And for those who haven’t experienced soul possession and switching between a mortal world and Shadow Realm seamlessly, we offer Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms with a 50% discount - for €9.99 eur / $9.99 on Steam and GOG and the Deluxe version on Steam for €13.49 / $13.49."

Vitek: What is the story here?
In short, the developers of the game made a publishing deal with their long-time partners, bitComposer Games, to publish it, but then bitComposer Games filed for insolvency and the developers couldn't work on the game and deliver the second part of it as they originally promised. Now, after over half a year, they have successfully gained the rights for the game back and they can work on it again.

But developers told yesterday that Shadows will be available for a discount price of 9$?

I think gog is just updating the gamecard cause they changed the publisher to the devname a minute or two ago. I guess the discount will follow. Plus the base game price is still higher then how it should be (aka 14.99€).

I see.

Thanks for explanation.

Nice news indeed! I haven't played the game but I must say that it looks really beautiful, so I'll definitely look more into it in the future.

A price drop? Yeah, but a regionnal one at that... was it before?
Posted August 28, 2015
"Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms comes in two parts. The first one, Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms Book I: Devourer of Souls, is available right now. The second one, Book II: Age of Demons, is coming as a free update, expected in February 2015."

You guys should consider rewriting the store page, this is embarrassing...
