taczillabr: Really, no one is forcing you to buy it.
Like someone said, I do prefer having some weekly releases (not so old games included, up to 2002 or even 2005 titles) than having 1 classic released by every 2 months only and nothing else: we would end a year with like 6 big titles on our accounts. Guess that wouldn't fit for everybody's tastes for games.

That would be me, unless someone else has also said it. Thing is, releasing nothing but old and classical games wouldn't be a wise business move either.
Personally, I'd rather like GOG to do well, so they stick around and don't fold.

Honestly, Enclave was one of my favorite games games released on the original Xbox. (Found it super cheap used, and said what the hell, just like I did for Riddick which I loved as well.) I'm glad to see it here for such a cheap price for those who may have missed it.

Yep, wouldn't be smart as a company. The more drm-free games from different genres, the better.
Should I make a list? If a game that's "only" eight years old isn't worth GOG's attention, then I think I'm on the wrong site.
Grrreat game! :D
Is there a good story and character interaction in this game?
I liked it, but never got really far. I just have too much games, I just can't finish any game XD
Bought the game last night myself and it's actually pretty decent. Well, that is as long as you don't mind a simplistic battle system (i.e. lack of combos) and the repetitive gameplay that consists of hacking your way through enemies, then picking up treasure and interacting with switches and such. Also, the dark campaign can't be played until the light campaign is beaten.
So, depending on your views, those aspects might be a negative. I can't comment on the story at the moment as I've not been paying much attention and I'm not halfway through yet. It seems typical fantasy affair though. The one negative aspect I've found so far is that while you go through the levels, you earn gold to equip characters with (you can replay missions to try and beat the amount of gold you collected last time to further boost your character), there's no statistics given for the various outfits you can give characters. There's only a text description with no numbered stats. Seems like an odd thing to leave out but generally, the dearer the weapon/item, the better it is I guess. As for character interaction, from what I've noticed, doesn't seem like your characters talk either. Only the NPCs do.
Also, fought one boss so far that required different tactics than just hack and slashing. Was pretty large as well. There's also different characters you can unlock and they have access to different types of equipment, therefore making them play differently.
Regardless, the game is $5.99 and as long as you don't mind hack and slash titles, I reckon you'll be satisfied. It's hardly going to break the bank. There seems to be a fair amount of gameplay as well as I think with 13 - 17 light campaign levels and a few less in the dark campaign? (I'd assume the dark campaign levels see you travel to different locations etc. as well, but don't quote me on that.)
Edit: Forgot to mention, hit detection as one or two have mentioned (or at least I've seen it in reviews) isn't the greatest. However, I've not found it terrible.

great game but WE WANT SEVERANCE - Blade of Darkness
Good lord, how is this Old, much less Good? This game was so buggy upon release I cried myself to sleep after purchasing.
Maybe they fixed some things?

It is 8. Years. Old. In 2005, Fallout was considered old by any standards. What makes THIS game new then? And I know quite a few people who liked the game a lot, so why would it be bad, really?
Enough about the release date, already. This game is eight years old. Psychonauts, Arx Fatalis, Sacred, Beyond Good & Evil - I don't recall a lot of complaints that those games weren't old enough to be here, and yet this thread is loaded with them. We go through this every time GOG releases a dark horse like this one - it's either not old enough or not good enough to justify GOG allowing us to purchase it.
GOG has stated since the beginning that there is no arbitrary cutoff for what is "old" - if the publisher considers the title old enough to be sold DRM-free at GOG's price points, then it's fair game, and that's as it should be. Some of the finest games ever made were released within the past decade, and some of those games are already on GOG.

Mentalepsy: ....

I agree, it's amusing how these release threads have turned into whine threads. They used to be very helpful . . . not so much nowadays . . . more about stating / defending opinions.
Not good enough? Too new? If those are our measures then we will get 4 or 5 releases a year. Enclave and Two Worlds easily meet the criteria for a GOG release IMHO. I have not played either game but now have an opportunity to do so. Keep em coming GOG.
