Sometimes great power comes with great (ir)responsibility.


<span class="bold">Sorcerer King</span>, a turn-based fantasy strategy/RPG about cancelling the Apocalypse, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com with Galaxy support and a 50% launch discount.

Becoming the King usually requires a touch of magic, either in the form of a ridiculously fabulous getup or a vast knowledge of the arcane. Lacking the pizzazz to pull off the former, the evil Sorcerer King set out to take over the world one spell at a time, absorbing its magic in a misguided attempt to become God. As the leader of one of the few defiant cities, stopping the Sorcerer is both your duty and your privilege, for butting heads with a wannabe-god has never been so fun!

Not only will you build your own army while carefully out-diplomancing your arch-enemy, but you will also make your Sovereign of choice a force to be reckoned with. Gear and level up through hundreds of delightful quests, then join forces with the rest of the desperate sovereigns — by forming alliances or by conquering their kingdoms. But while you are meticulously planning your turns, keep an eye on the Doomsday Counter: if the Sorcerer King manages to complete the spell and turn himself into a god, it will be a most unfortunate turn of events. The final turn of your turn-based adventures.


So turn the tables on the upcoming Apocalypse and smack some sense into the evil <span class="bold">Sorcerer King</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 50% launch discount will last until January 17 1:59 PM GMT.

When I saw the GOG teaser graphics I was very intrigued by the graphical style. Then I saw the real ingame screenshots and I am quite sobered.

Game still looks interesting but man, if there would be a game that actually would look like http://images-3.gog.com/54ffaee7ccaeea81767a75daa575b5974613d607bafd2f5f7019235472f1da17.jpg that would be an instant buy fore me.

GOG graphics artists are cool and hopefully one day they can be part of a game dev team.

Yes, I know. They confirmed that on gog too: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/sorcerer_king_developer_qa_9396d/post40

I guess they developed their games on proprietary Microsoft software which would make them very hard to port. At least Ashes of Singularity seems to be developed crossplatform. I really don't understand why they don't develop their games crossplatform from start. I mean they are loosing sales on both the mac and linux platforms.
