Get medieval on all the things!

King Arthur’s Gold is the ultimate medieval war-game. Developed by the creators of Soldat, this bloody, tactical blend of 2D legends is available now on Windows and Mac for 25% off the entire first week!

King Arthur’s Gold gives you the freedom to build up, or dig down, to fortify your position against a fury of troops, siege weapons, and vehicles. Nothing is safe for long on this fully destructible battlefield, so be ready to retaliate with everything you’ve got. Stand alone in the single-player mode, co-op with a friend, or knock up to 32 other players back to the dark ages. Everyone plays a distinct role with one of three classes as the indispensable Builder, supporting Archer, or frontline Knight. King Arthur’s Gold blends the best of Worms and Terraria into a relentlessly bloody pulp (of fun).

Get medieval on GOG.com with King Arthur’s Gold. Now available DRM-free for 25% off! The special release promo will last until Thursday, January 15th, at 10:59AM GMT.

Ghorpm: There was a full version release some time ago (can't remember exactly when). I can personally confirm it because I own the game :) It's not a masterpiece but can be enjoyable nonetheless. It's a bit messy, there can be so much action on screen that you barely see anything so button mashing is sometimes mandatory. I guess it's a multiplayer mode which makes this game more interesting but I cannot say anything about that.

Russonc: I was hoping the single player would be more of the pace of Worms... sounds like that's not the case.
DEFINITELY not. It's real time. In single player campaign you are usually supposed to reach the right side of the map. A nice thing is that you can switch your class (knight, archer, builder). In some missions it's mandatory (for example you have to build a bridge to reach something but a builder cannot really defend himself) in others you can finish everything with a knight but it's still better to change. For example build yourself a nice fortress, lure some enemies and shoot them as an archer then go back to a knight and finish the rest of a map.

Schnuff: Its on Steam? And was bundled? Oh, must check there (I am sure I have it than).
I think I got it via Humble Bundle and it was possible to activate the full version at the devs' site and that's what I did. I don't use Steam so cannot say anything about that. EDIT: but HB contained Steam key as well.

Looks fun. The previous releases this week have demolished my spending though.

Most interesting... I am very partial to Worms myself (you need to get World Party here GOG!), and I enjoy Terraria.

For my personal tastes however this seems to be a case where items enjoyed separately are not as palatable when mixed together.

Between that and being a bit low on funds will table this for now.

Ditto.
I'm so broke I can't afford to pay attention. :D

We just released Akalabeth. As for future oldies, we're still working on them but it will take time as we were on a holiday break :)

Everyone gather around; we're going to take turns whacking XYCat with a stick.

I agree with that, I bought the last two releases this week. I've wishlisted now, appears I had it wishlisted on steam as well, I was probably waiting for a Humble bundle DRM free + steam key deal. Either way I need to rest the credit card.

It's only about singleplayer because I've never played multi. I would say it's a solid game. As I've mentioned earlier it tends to be a bit messy and sometimes you'll kill a lot of enemies without any strategy, just by pure luck and button mashing. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I'm more worried about that notice where the system requirements should be (and, incidentally, aren't).

What are the odds of sticking to the old schedule then when it comes to these? Not necessarily splitting steadily per week, but at least per year, overall, at least 100 games according to your initial mission statement (at least 3 years old, at most $9.99 full price... for everyone), and maybe 150 total according to the first update of said mission statement (so also including newer games and raising maximum full price to $19.99... still for everyone, for the difference)?

Sysreqs fixed :)

As for your question, I don't know, sorry :( It depends on so many factors, whether they are legal technical, or "other", that I can't give you any concrete info on when we can release oldies and such :(
