This was one of a kind JRPG that I found in my early teens, back when I wanted to play Diablo and couldn't. Ended up addicted to it - simple gameplay and mechanisms, the companion is really useful and very well done/placed into the game. It is quite linear but is still very fun.
Would be awesome to have this here as an complete package (all 4 episodes), with support for widescreens and high resolutions so I can finally revive those old good memories of this awesome game!
This is such a hidden gem of a game I would love to see come to GoG! What sticks out to me was the awesome gameplay, awesome music, and fun RPG system. It was released in parts but I would love to see the full game show up here with support for modern systems! I want this game on GoG so that others can also discover this gem of a game!
I've only ever played the first episode. I remember there was an external program that would catalogue the items you had found but you would have to save, quit, scan, and reload. The completionist in me didn't mind the interruptions to gameplay at the time.
The first episode was free, acting as a demo for the saga of four. It was fun, and the dog companion was a neat addition to the Diablo formula. I think you can still purchase the episodes from the original developer but it would be amazing for it to be here, preserved on GoG as a complete collection.
Used to play this game as kid on a laptop that would sound like it was starting lift off as soon as I played the game. I replayed the first version many times on that laptop when I wanted to play the game, until the laptop died. I had been replaying it since 2008 and it died at around 2012. Since then Ive been searching for the game because I had forgoten the name. Using ChatGPT's 4,5 deep research I was finally able to find it. The nostalgia started flowing instantly.
Bring this please! This is such an underrated gem. So much better than all the clones around. Awesome game, magic, classes, soundtrack. UNFORGETTABLE experience. GOG, come on!!!
Back in the day I spent more hours than I am comfortable to disclose playing this game. At the first glance it seems like cheap copy of Diablo. But then, under the surface is a game with various mechanics, a huge and diverse "legendary" weapons with special effects, and the more you play the more of the weird and funky stuff you encounter, opening opportunities for curious and unusual playstyles using elements.
I played only Episode I, which was shared for free, but I'd like to play the rest of it too, as I feel like I am missing a lot in regard to the story. I know a lot of it is the nostalgia, but I genuinely want to play this game again (and finish all the episodes!) and I believe it's an amazing candidate for GOG.
Lembro de jogar esse jogo por volta de 2008 quando eu tinha um netbook (sim, um netbook, não um notebook). Joguei por muito tempo e era um dos meus preferidos da época, e continua sendo muito querido até os dias de hoje. Infelizmente, ele não é mais comercializado oficialmente por nenhuma loja, nem mesmo pelos desenvolvedores do jogo. Gostaria muito de poder jogá-lo novamente, e se for através da GOG, ficarei muito grato e feliz!
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox

Fable: The Lost ChaptersFable was expanded and rereleased as Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox and Windows PC platforms in September 2005. The game was later ported to Mac OS X by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive on 31 March 2008.
The Lost Chapters features all the content found in the original Fable, as well as additional new content such as new monsters, weapons, alignment based spells, items, armour, towns, buildings, and expressions, as well as the ability to give children objects. The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
