The cornerstones of every strategist's collection: up to 80% off the Eador series, Stronghold Crusader HD, Battle Realms, and more!



What do all great strategic thinkers have in common? Well, they are able to see the big picture and make the necessary sacrifices, even under stress. They always plan one step ahead of their opponent. They have a perfectly detailed imprint of their chin at the back of their right hand. But more importantly, they always seek fresh challenges. Like the ones that await you around this <span class="bold">Strategy Corner</span>, with an inspiring discount strategically placed on top of them. Your move, general.


RTS and city-building gameplay elements collide in the blood-soaked Arabian lands. Build your own castle, amass great armies and lay siege upon heavily fortified settlements as the Stronghold Crusader HD.

An epic game of thrones in the fantasy-coated realms of the orient? Yes, please! Battle Realms and its expansion Winter of the Wolf see the clans of the Dragon, the Wolf, the Serpent, and the Lotus go at each other's throats with their trained fighters, ninjas, and spellcasters.

Slip through the cracks of a procedurally-generated galaxy ruled by our mechanical overlords and wage a desperate AI War against their oppressive rule. The odds are against you but humanity needs your real-time combat skills and your strategic planning in order to fight back.



Turn that <span class="bold">Strategy Corner</span> and gain a vantage point over these diverse and unforgiving battlefields. Put your plans to the test and conquer the challenges inside King of Dragon Pass, The Last Federation, Pacific General, Frozen Synapse, and many more! The promo will last until March 15, 4:59 AM GMT.

Are the Blitzkrieg games very hard for a begginers or not so good strategy players?

yeah, I'd like someone who played them share their thoughts too.

infinitee8: P.S. Eador Genesis is a fantastic strategy game for anyone unsure about it due to graphics or age or whatever. Highly recommended!
Definitely! This game has become my favourite game ever, after 30 years of playing any TBS there is I did not think anything new could top the old classics, but this is it.
I also recommend King of Dragon Pass.

vv221: Please GOG, now that you’re working a lot on putting HTTPS as the default protocol everywhere on your web services, you really should take the time to proof-read your announcements as to not let HTTP links like this slip through your vigilance ;)
Fixed :)

When you add both Frozen Synapse and Frozen Synapse: Red to the purchase list, you get two notes:

"Please note that Frozen Synapse: Red is already included in Frozen Synapse"

"Please note that you are required to own Frozen Synapse on GOG.com to be able to purchase and play Frozen Synapse: Red"

In the Frozen Synapse gamecard it doesn't seem to mention anything about the Red DLC being included.

So is it, or is it not? If one buys only Frozen Synapse, does it include it all? What's the dealio here? Is someone trying to pull a quick one on me, huh? Or a slow one?

Yes, a bit, this is one of those where it's easy to get units killed (but also kill enemies) so if you do a mistake like sending your army without scouting first you might bump into a defended position and get your units killed (and this is one of those where you can't build a base and get more units). On the other hand, when the artillary units were available the game was too easy, i would get my scout to advance and locate targets so that the artillary could finish them... yeah, the game got repetitive.

Haven't played the 2nd one though.

It's a bug that they still haven't fixed ever since the games were released. No, you won't get Frozen Synapse: Red if you buy only Frozen Synapse.

Interesting. It doesn't let me buy them at the same time... so does it allow me to first buy Frozen Synapse, and then Red? Or if I try to buy Red afterwards, will it complain again that Red is already included in my existing FS, and lets me buy it only as a gift code?

Most weird. I guess you could try buying the base game first and then the expansion and see what happens.

I'm also struggling to figure out whether Red is standalone or expansion.
