Due to the popularity of our Gem promos--and our ever-growing catalog!--we're making Gem promos every Wednesday now. More gems for everyone! Huzzay!

Darkstone, a classic hack-and-slash that introduced 3D graphics into the genre, will have you hacking through hordes of horrors with a 60% discount for the next 24 hours.

If your name is Lord Draak and you wield the power to transform yourself into a giant dragon, becoming an evil overlord seems like an obvious career choice. And when, by some strange and totally unexpected twist of fate, you end up deprived of your magic, banished from the realm, and nearly killed, you have no other option but to gather back your minions and devise a new evil plot to terrorize the land and rebuild your dark domain. Right? RIGHT?! Well, tough luck, Lord Draak--Darkstone isn’t about you. It’s about the valiant heroes that are coming to get you.

In Darkstone a party of up to four adventurers set off on a quest to free the realm of Uma of its oppressor. In the co-op multi-player mode each player controls one of them. In single-player you can switch between two characters and the computer will assume the role of the one you’re currently not handling. There are four provinces to explore, each with its own set of quest-filled, procedurally-generated dungeons to keep you busy and boost the game’s replay value.

13 years after its release, Darkstone remains one of the most memorable titles of the hack-and-slash genre! Start dungeon crawling now, for only $2.39 until Thursday, July 26 at 10:59 AM GMT.

JMich: Did the 1st and 3rd Wednesday change, or is it a special one for this month only? Not that I mind, I'd love to have a Gem Promo every Wednesday :)
Nope, there's no mix-up. Every Wednesday is a GOG Gem Promo day from now on. We know you enjoy them and--truth be told--we like picking gems from our GOG treasury as well. Win-win situation if I ever saw one! ;-)

edit:
Oh, and we added the first paragraph after you asked your question, JMitch. Your eyesight is just fine, in case we made you doubt it. :-)

mrkgnao: I was under the impression the whole purpose of being on GOG was to create a long backlog by buying games on promos. The longer the better.
This is correct. In fact, anyone caught actually playing games they purchase from GOG will have their account immediately locked.

mrkgnao: That's no good. If you lock their account they can't buy any more games.

How about a new promo:
- For every ten games you buy, you are allowed to play one.
- For every twenty games you buy, you are also allowed to enjoy it.
Or instead of locking the account we could simply remove all of the games from the account. Now the lucky customer can repurchase their collection!

I like the promo idea though. We will utilise the GOG Thought Police to ensure no enjoyment is had unless sufficient games are purchased.
