Awesome RPG from a Indie studio, with better art than what "Sea of Stars" got to offer and with the new DLC probably close to the gameplay length of the good old Grandia (70-80 hours), which is between 60 and 70 h i assume. Which makes it one of the "biggest" 2D RPG ever made, not created by brute force... rather passion like a good aged wine.

I hope we get the 2 OST as well, so we can support the "Sea of Stars"-challenger even better. Not that i want to bring up the Sea of Stars story along with its publisher, but there is no need because the best of this class is on GOG...!

Another thing i want to spell out to the publisher of this game, Deck 13/WhisperGames, which is most likely as well publishing "Astlibra": Unfortunately it has not been released on GOG so far, despite the dev in favor of... but so far it was lacking the publishers agreement. I hope there will be changes as we do need this game on GOG as well.

This will be an easy buy.

Chained Echoes provided a far richer RPG experience that quite a few more "Main Brand" titles this past yeat.

Congratulations to the dev and publisher for the release
Already got it, thanks!

Cool. From what I've read the DLC does not live up to the main game but is ok.

Glad this came here. While Chained Ecboes disappointed me with its combat gimmick, I hope people who want it can enjoy it!

That guy surely had another opinion:

In my mind, yes it is in many terms more advanced than something like Sea of Stars. It is not the easy to be digested mainstream-solution... it goes unique paths that will need to be adapted to.

I wish this game had received a new/revised english translation, because the dev did everything by himself and it sounds off way too many times IMO

Or maybe the original (german) script wasn't that good to begin with

Please release the two soundtracks on GOG too!!!

But the DLC makes it difficult to interpret. "Bashes of Antlr", maybe?

Despite the rather "reserved" treatment of the GOG gamers; from what i can see this game was running pretty fine on GOG, it is probably at the 1 million range which is pretty solid for this kind of game. It would probably be even higher if they added the OST but that is simply how it is.

It simply shows, that many of the "in many cases weak sales" is as well enforced by many publishers and not just a "gamer preference" out of the blue. Another example is the complete lack, up to this day... of "Astlibra". They as well added a concerning Intro on Steam stating some indirect words like "pirates are stealing their treasure", which kinda means... they expect people to steal it. Mistrust is a bad basis toward gamers and i am not sure if it makes Keizo, the original creator, proud. Nonetheless, this is simply the current "mental shape" of the current holder of its publishing-rights. For sure they had millions of sales already on 2 platforms only (Steam, Switch), and their treasure is filled up pretty good now, so i see nothing related to "stealing". Rather the tendency from locking many gamers away from the access to this game by hard DRM and platform-enforcement.

Of course, the pirates was stealing it... they got full access for a eternity already; and not because it has (not) been "locked away"... instead ESPECIALLY because it has been locked away. No matter what, this is a thing that publisher may never understand.

Can't buy them right now so into the wishlist it goes
