Already got me one copy, will pick up another one for the undiscounted full price next year.
Thanks for reconsidering, GoG & curation.

When the game out it was basically in early access so GOG waited for the game to be "completed" while some people raged that "We want it NOW!!!".

Some things I'm wondering about this game:

* Once you start, is your party set in stone (like in Wizardry 6 or later), or is there a place where you can leave party members behind and create/recruit new ones, changing them out later if you feel like it?
* Is there an option to get the main interface to display numbers for health and other resources, rather than (or in addition to) bars?
* How do a character's skills improve?
* Does age matter, and if so, is there a way to reduce it?
* Can enemies or effects (this includes things like resurrection) cause permanent damage to your characters?
* How is healing magic? Is it strong enough to be usable? (Wizardry 6 and 7 had a problem with healing magic being so weak later on that bringing a character back to full health after a fight was extremely tedious, even with a high level caster; Wizardry 1-5 solved this with MADI, but had issues until that spell appeared.) Is it worth using in combat? Are there any healing abilities that work in interesting ways?
* What's the level cap, are level ups random, and does anything other than a choice made at level up time affect stat growth? (Also, can stats go down? This might sound like a silly question, but remember that classic Wizardry did this.)

Edit: Thought of a couple more:
* Is the game well balanced in its current form?
* When a new party is fighting low level monsters (the sort that new characters would be expected to be able to defeat), do attacks consistently hit, or is there a lot of missing going on?

Looks interesting. Add to backlog or no? That is the question. Answer: Probably, yes

If now they were also willing to add Hatred and AGony Unrated to the list and some other shoot em ups they rejected I'll start buying again, which includes the upcoming Wizardry. I'll buy this to show my support for these games but I won't be a paying customer again untill is see more change in the choices since some of the past games that were rejected were a lot better than some crap these hippie indie developers are releasing nowadays.

no, everything is hand made, the only random parts are encounters (beside named enemies like bosses).

that's not the game to put into backlog (anyway - backlogs are silly in concept because there is not enough time or life to beat most of the games from some list), it's 100-250h long journey, not something to scratch from some list.

So the game is finished now?

18 replies before someone stopped being polite and started getting real.

Question to those who've played it - would it be worth buying if someone enjoyed say... Legend of Grimrock? Obviously not asking in regard to graphical fidelity but more the general style/approach.

Please learn to accept your defeat with dignity. This release doesn't affect you in any way.

Congratulations to everyone who was waiting for this game on GOG and finally got it! (:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Truly, the sun has fallen from the sky, the rivers have boiled into the ether, and hell itself has frozen solid to the core!

[EDIT] AND IT HAS A MANUAL LMAO

I wasn't eager to buy anything this year, but now I'll have to pick this up.

You have to get real to get things done, Also RWarehall is a known complainer when it comes to having a choice, he thinks GOG needs to be like Stalin was during the WW2 and you need to follow the party line or you'll get....

Sad day when this homophobic neanderthal gets on GOG.


No.

It is nothing like HOMM. It is a copy of Wizardry style games - but much less user friendly.

Bought and downloaded.

The manual is 163 pages lol, no wonder it took Cleve 20+ years to write it
