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.

Tannath: "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...
It's been fixed :)

vulchor: I don't see the option to download the new DLC. Is it just included in the new installer, or is the patch and DLC not made available yet on the download page?
It's all in the installer :)

Leroux: Ah, now it makes more sense. I was looking at the 19.99 EUR price tag three hours ago, wondering what was so great about it, but 9.99 EUR is a somewhat attractive offer. I'm not quite sure whether I've understood though - this is only Book One of a half-finished two book project, right? Will Book Two be a separate release or will it be included in this one, making it kind of a Season Pass?
AFAIK, it will be a free update to the game kind of like how it's done with the Telltale games when they get a new episode added here :)

Leroux: I hope you're right, because that would make all the difference in whether I think this is a good offer or not. ;)

Also, is it recommended to play Heretic Kindoms: The Inquisition before this one? I already own it, on disc and on GOG, but the disc version doesn't work on Win 8 and last I tried the GOG version it didn't work that well ...
If you wait a bit, we've received an update from GamesFarm for the original Heretic Kingdoms that should work for you :)

Luned: Does "wait a bit" mean "within 24 hours-ish" or the indeterminate "Soon"? Because the original HK hates both of the graphics cards in my laptop, and my husband's commandeered the desktop for Xenonauts. Hoping the update will fix that.
I am not sure we'll get it out today but I am hoping we can have it out by Monday or Tuesday at the latest but I am not 100% sure on that as of right now :)

Luned: I realize it's getting late in the workday on Friday in Warsaw. Thanks for letting us know something's on the way for the first HK, though.
Does your laptop have Win XP 32-bit in it?

Hi,

The update is out and available via Galaxy and there's a new offline installer available :) Please let me know if anything changed for you :)

Luned: As soon as I get home tonight and can get it installed and checked on...expect a report in 10 hours or so.
avatar
Gnostic: It's 3 days now, so no news is good news. She should be too busy playing to make a report.
That's a long 10 hours :P
avatar
JudasIscariot: That's a long 10 hours :P
avatar
Gnostic: Or you give her GoG clock :P
Ours is right at LEAST twice a day :P

JudasIscariot: That's a long 10 hours :P

Luned: Update refused to install that night through Galaxy, and I haven't had the time to get back around to trying the install again.
No worries, we have updated the offline installer as well :)

Also, it would help greatly if you could submit a bug on Mantis so we can investigate the cause of this :)
