Up to 75% off Desktop Dungeons: Enhanced Edition, Divinity: Dragon Commander, Quest for Infamy, Banner Saga, and more.


A little party never hurt nobody, so this weekend we're organising the biggest discount social in town: the <span class="bold">Weekend Mixer</span>. We've got almost thirty high-quality titles of a varied variety for you, with discounts that range from 50-75% off!

The belle of the ball is Desktop Dungeons: Enhanced Edition at 50% off, your perfect coffee-break game. Drop into a roguelike-like dungeon that offers 10-20 minutes worth of gameplay per-session (depending on how good you are) - it may be designed for quick plays, but it is not designed to be shallow. The Enhanced Edition upgrade includes "Daily Dungeon" leaderboards (so that you can secretly hate your friends), a whole new (terrifying) building for your Kingdom, two new classes (Chemist and Rat Monarch), new drag-to-cast combat, and pages, pages, pages worth of optimisation, bug fixes, and smaller gameplay improvements.

That's not to say our other games can't feel pretty tonight - Divinity: Dragon Commander is 75% off, an epic fantasy RPG in which you don't slay the dragon - you are the dragon. Quest for Infamy is a modern throwback to the graphics, gameplay, and charm you know from old Sierra adventures - also 75% off. Wizardry 6+7 and 8, known as the pinnacles of dungeon-crawling are here as well, and of course two of the most beautiful (and ambitious) Indies ever made are guzzling the fruit-punch: we're talking The Banner Saga (-60%) and Mark of the Ninja (-75%). Please know your limits, Mark.

It's a true gaming <span class="bold">Weekend Mixer</span> on GOG.com, and the crew is here to stay until Tuesday, April 28, 3:59 AM GMT.

Gnostic: What is the most wanted game in this promo?

Banner Saga, Dragon Commander, Mark of the Ninja or something else?

Grargar: The main page shows Banner Saga as the highest-selling game of the promo. If, on the other hand, you are asking which of those games someone would recommend, I would go with Mark of the Ninja, as it's the only one I have played. It's awesome.
Thank you, I will be adding both to TBBBBoB.

If you are bad at games that require quick reflexes, would you still be able to enjoy the game? It looks fun, but I have such butterfingers. I always end up pressing the wrong key at the right moment because I stress. =/

Hmmm... while the game didn't tax my reflexes, I would be lying if I said that there weren't tense moments. The game is mostly about planning your route through the levels, but there will be times that you'll have to act fast before you are discovered. The good part is that the game is very generous with the checkpoints, so even if you are discovered/killed, you can try a different approach.

Thank you. I might try it then... practice to maybe get a little better. =P

I suck at stealth games and loved it. You can aproach the levels in many diferent ways so if one isn't working just try something alse.
I must say the controls felt great. I was afraid it would be a crappy console port but they are actually very responsive.
Hope this helps.

Oh, GOG. You finally did it. You finally listened to me and made a promo by looking at my wishlist. Literally every game in the promo that I don't already own is on my wishlist.

And I'm broke after buying Transistor on Friday, so I can't buy a single one :-(

IIRC, there is a button that pauses time, so if you can train yourself to hit that one when you panic, you should be fine :-)

Aw, a button made just for me. =D I want to be a ninja, even if it's a fidgety one! Thanks for letting me know about it.
