Release of the Beast.

Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition (also known as: Kult: Heretic Kingdoms), a sleek isometric fantasy action RPG with many interesting gameplay ideas, set in a vast gritty world deprived of hope, but filled with monsters and dangers, is available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

At the first glance, the sword seemed like nothing special. Yes, the craftsmanship was excellent, and you could see that its creator went to great lengths to make the weapon look as ominous as a piece of steel can get, but there were many similar blades across the land. If anything, this one looked a little bit rusty and battered up. It was only as she reached for the hilt, when a slight vibration could be noticed. Like an electric charge hitting her hand. For a moment, the blade seemed to be gleaming--barely noticeable inner shine. What she thought to be flakes of rust shined in crimson red, like fresh blood embedded into the metal itself. But then, nothing special happened. She just stood there, holding the sword, looking at it in silence. Nobody else would even notice, but she knew. In her hand, rested the blade that tasted the blood of god. The Godslayer.

Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition is a classic action-rpg that has the ambition of delivering some original ideas an making your experience unique. It makes sure that upon completion, you won't just feel like you've completed another generic hack-and-slash. It succeeds by the means of excellent storytelling, dynamic gameplay, and some original RPG mechanics. If you are a fan of the genre, but somehow you managed to overlook this title in the past, you're up for one satisfying experience! The GOG.com edition of the game comes with a full MP3 soundtrack.

Adventure awaits, so go on--discover the land that needs hope and decide if it deserves it in Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

Had to actually check my email to see how I helped out. ;)

Definitely glad our game rights research has paid off. Hopefully there's much more going on behind the scenes. :) (And hopefully this isn't the only game whose rights' situation that isn't muddled.)

RPGs, or like this one action RPGs are welcome.
If they are any good!
Sadly this one is another falling in the line of you better never play this.
The plot sounds great only that they never used it. You want to save people or do like to slaughter them...
its up to you. Either way nothing changes.
And the action part, well i've played better Diablo clones.
Wow, from the hint I thought this was going to be that Cyro adventure for sure - I've not heard of this one but it looks just like my sort of thing - wishlisted

and amazing that this thread
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_search_for_game_rights_a_diaryesque_thread

is actually bearing fruit - great work guys!
I've been scouring the internet for this one for quiet some time now. Never expected to see it here. Wishlisted it and will pick it up in a couple of days.

I have a question about the game. Is this more like Diablo or Infinity Engine titles? I'd prefer the latter.
I had this one in a magazine, but only played the beginning, maybe I grab it in the future

Are you talking about real time with pause combat?

Because Heretic Kingdoms has more Diablo-style action RPG combat :)

Combat system is more like Diablo's action RPG style, but there is a double-world concept allowing you to switch at any time between two levels of reality, with different creatures and foes, which is quite unique.
