A warmly received series of fantasy titles from Cyanide Spiders arrives on GOG.COM with juicy discounts. Join Orcs and Goblins in their desperate struggle against the Empire of Humankind in three unique games:

Of Orcs and Men (-80%) is an action fantasy RPG in which you follow the Orc warrior Arkail and his Goblin companion Styx on their quest to assassinate the human Emperor.

Styx: Master of Shadows (-80%) is a stealth game and a prequel to Of Orcs and Men. As the Goblin Styx you must infiltrate the mysterious Tower of Akenash.

Styx: Shards of Darkness (-60%) tells the further story of the ruthless Goblin. Our hero can sneak past enemies, set traps and clone himself in order to confuse his foes.

Discounts on all three games - Of Orcs and Men (-80%), Styx: Master of Shadows (-80%), and Styx: Shards of Darkness (-60%) – will last on GOG.COM until 31th January, 2 PM UTC.

Been waiting for this for a long time! Thanks focus and GOG.
Both are fantastic stealth games.

phaolo: I'm not sure I've even heard of this series.
The first game has mixed reviews, however.. can it be skipped story-wise?
Which is the best game, the 2nd or the 3rd? (for gameplay and\or plot)
It can be skipped if you want. But from the duo of Styx and Arkhail, I like the latter more. Too bad he is only in the first game :(

The 2nd and 3rd game are about on par with each other.

Yes, except for setting and characters, there is not much story-wise between the first and the other two games. Mostly a bit of back story is missing, but the two last games are self contained as well.

They are also very different in game play, the first an RPG, the other two stealth games.

Thanks a lot and instabought! :)

Now PLEASE bring the missing "Game of Thrones"-Games from Cyanide/Focus Home here, too.

Than I think we have almost all big titles here but "World War Z". But I hope that will change someday, too?

EDIT: we need the "Space Hulk" and "Blood Bowl" Games, too. Sorry.

I went ahead and bought the first 2 games, couldn't resist. :P Will pick the 3rd one up in a future sale after I've played the first two likely.

How do these games compare to the Thief series?

Will Styx: Shards of Darkness have support for multiplayer at some point?

Please GOG, don't ignore my question.

That's probably not up to GOG but to the devs/publishers of the game. I am pretty sure that reworking the game to use GOG API instead of Steam API is quite time consuming and therefore costly so they decided to not even try and offer us a free DLC instead. Imo it's great that they at least try to do something to compensate for the missing MP - but of course it would even be better to get the exact same features. Still, because of what I said above regarding the costs and effort I doubt it will happen. You should contact Focus on their discord to get a definitive answer. They are replying quite fast and friendly.

Outstanding acquisition, I laughed maniacally in pure triumph when I first saw the front page; thanks GoG/focus, eagerly awaiting payday as they're in my cart now!

GOG.com: ...
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

I'm glad they finally showed up for folks! :D Probably my first exciting releases of the new year (edit: these and Wizardry) even though they don't personally interest me.

Yeah that's the sense I get too. I hope eventually it gets easier and simpler for devs in the future.
