As our catalogue gets bigger and better every week, it’s easy to lose track of some of the awesome games that we have to offer. Of course Fallout, Baldur’s Gate, and some other of our most popular titles will always get a lot of attention, but GOG has many more classics to bring you. To help encourage you to explore the dustier reaches of GOG’s catalogue, we’re going to be offering a promo on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Think of it as a curated promo on some of GOG’s favorite titles that you may not have played. Whether we’re encouraging you to explore incredible new worlds or inviting you to see how a titanic series got its start, we think every game we’re going to be offering on our GOG Gem Promos will be an excellent title, and we hope you give them all a try.

After a short pause because of the Broken Sword promo, we're back into the loop of GOG Gem promos. Today, we're offering you the 60% off Star Wolves for the next 24 hours. The game is an interesting mix of role-playing and real-time tactics gameplay and is set in the distant future. You're taking the role of a head-hunter beginner, piloting a "pile of junk" that you call your spaceship. Your goal is to earn yourself money and respect, build and lead a small "army" of heavy armored ships to fight all kinds of space scum, and maybe get a little fortune for your retirement. Thanks to the money you earn and the extensive customization in the game you can build a diverse fleet of space ships which will will fit your needs, and help you accomplish a variety of missions. And as we're on the subject of missions, prepare yourself for a more tactical approach to each of them, as pure firepower loses with cunning and good strategy in this title. Add to this an interesting plot and the 60% discount and you have a great GOG Gem!

Don't wait as the promo ends tomorrow, November 3 at 7:59 a.m. EDT (11:59 a.m. GMT).
I already have it. Probably bought during another promotion or during the big promotion last christmas. Oh, christmas is coming soon again. There will be a big promo for sure. If so, I will buy some more games (although I do not exactly have more time to play) then. I guess I wishlisted some.
last chance to get the game cheap
lost it :/
Fun game. I never finished it. I found it kind of hard, but admittedly I made some story-driven choices that hurt me short-term.

Also, I think I just didn't quite grasp the strategy needed. There also wasn't really any way to farm gold between missions or otherwise gain higher-tier equipment in advance, so it's kind of sink-or-swim.

It had a lot going for it, but there were some quirky things like figuring out how to trigger plot events and gaming the AI and all that. I found that I had to repeat missions just to get a feel for what was going to happen, rather than being able to just jump in and prosper just improvising in the moment.

Recommend, especially at 60% off. I don't remember if I wasted money or if I bought it during the Christmas sale.

EDIT: Too late already? Ah well. Sorry, folks. :(
