Where Valkyrie?

This game has a special place at my heart. It is one of the rare games that I finished in my younger years and came back and finished again these last years. Surprisingly, the fun was the same! Normally, nostalgic playthroughs rarely give me the satisfaction they did back then. Probably due to middle age. But this one entertained me like all those years ago. I did not know there was a sequel back then, so I had only finished this one. Not long ago, I finished this again along with its sequel: Valkyrie. In the community wishlist, Valkyrie also passed 200 vote threshold like this one, so I hope it will arrive here as well. Both games had some bugs (game-breaking ones and regular ones) but both of them are completable with enough perseverance. Thank you for bringing this gem here. Hoping to see the sequel, Valkyrie, as well.

Please add the Valkyrie expansion

I am halfway through this game and really enjoying it. It is simple to learn (you can dive right in with no tutorial and no manual) and fun to play. Combat is challenging more from a strategic sense than tactical; you will either take enough of, and the right kind of, units into battle to win, or you won't. GOG please add the Valkyrie expansion for this game.

Rare gem.

It is a slavic game, very hard to describe. It is that hollow fantasy rpg atmosphere you find in other games like this, let's say, Konung 3. Nothing remarkable, very cliché, but everything done and settled with that unique slav art. Main character runs like the main of Death to Spies 1. It is like... This way: your caharacter is on the map, it seems like a open world, and it is, but this first setting is something like a Total War Campaign Map. You will dwell in the world speaking with npcs, they will give you quests and when a npc triggers a battle or you trigger one on the map, it will switch to the turn based grid, that it also works in it's own way. The quests are common bread, help me with this, kill this, bring me that, or bring me that and that's why you have to kill this and so on. It is a good old game for dive in if you like this sort of slavic fantasy rpg stuff, let's say, konung, king's bounty, etherlords, or evil islands. At a personal level it hooked me very fast, you need to be careful which encounters take and which quests accomplish. Once this starting situation is gone, as you can increase HP and Damage for you main character, game goes enjoyable but still not easy. The necesity of being always leveled with the world, you and your army will always appear in silly defeats.

Fast and efficient turn based gameplay

The combat pacing is quite good for a turn based game, however the balance is such that applying status effects or removing them is usually a waste of time and as a result the combat is about the fastest troops and therefore lacks quite a bit of depth. Nonetheless the gameplay is engaging, and the questing starts really strong with multiple ways to finish the first few quests, but the quest system gets dumbed down the more you progress. I was able to finish the game in 2 sittings so it doesn't overstay it's welcome.
