The portals connecting the shattered islands of Eo start to collapse. The whole world is in panic and despair.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/spellforce_2_dragon_storm]Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm is a refreshing “RPG meets Fantasy Strategy” combo, in which the RPG elements just enrich the awesome RTS experience. The GOG.com version of Dragon Storm is a stand-alone expansion to the second part of the game.

Chaos reigns over the mythical land of Eo and the Shaikans investigate the problem. Upon closer inspection they reveal ancient ruins of the long forgotten first race to walk the plains of Eo: the Shapers. Once the rulers of the world, the Shapers discovered the Essence of Magic, and the struggle to control the essence led to a civil war and the apparent extinction of their race. Shaikans awaken one of these ancients, the Creator, and now chaos spreads. The only ally the Shaikans can muster is the race that once saved Eo from the Shapers threat the Dragons, exiled long ago. This add-on expands the universe by adding the Sheikan faction, and also adds a new campaign, more loot, spells, and a complex crafting system. Revisit familiar grounds, meet friends from your past adventures in Eo (incl. The Soulbearer or Flink McWinter), and (of course) save the entire world from doom.

TheEnigmaticT: There's one scheduled for Thursday. And it's not an RPG (or, for that matter, an RPG / strategy hybrid).
The plot thickens, Thursday can't come soon enough...

deshadow52: did anyone complain about stand alone expansions when Age of Wonders shadows wars came out, just curious.
Yes. But then, no matter what GOG releases, some people complain about some aspect of it.

deonast: I guess price wise it depends on how big the stand alone expansion is
Haven't played the game yet, but I've just read a review which estimated the playtime to be around 30 hours. Which is good for a stand-alone game.

I'm guessing syndicate or syndicate wars ^^

I'm guessing it's not... Both games could easily be described as an RPG/strategy hybrid. My guess is Sim City.

I just bought both spellforce 2 games although i do agree the expansion pack should be more like $5.99 they are both good value for money and will give a lot of people a lot of playtime. Compare that with spending $50 - $60 dolalrs (£30 - £40) for a new game with about 5 hours of gamplay i think youll agree you are stll getting a good amount of game time for a fraction of the price of a new game.

Both games are not part of the deal with EA.

These are all EA games, and, as TheEnigmaticT (or was it the French Monk?) stated at the EA announcement event, there will be no more EA games until around the end of summer.
Also, the Syndicate and System Shock games aren't part of the current deal.

Kola256: Another RPG Game... :(

What about tycoon games (Theme Hospital, Pharaoh), racing (Need for Speed)? I'm a casual player. :)

SLP2000: What?

Excuse me, but have you been visiting GOG lately?

Here's a list of latest games relesed on GOG (after Witcher 2):

Spellforce 2: Dragon Storm - strategy - rpg meets strategy isn't rpg for rpg players
Heroes Chronicles - strategy
Litil Divil - action/adventure/puzzle
Magic Carpet - shooter/action
Crusader: No Remorse - action
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - strategy
Wing Commander: Privateer - shooter/action
Dungeon Keeper - strategy/action
Ultima Underworld 1+2 - YEAH, that's the only RPG released on GOG since Witcher 2
Broken Sword: The Smoking Mirror - Remastered - adventure
Rayman 2: The Great Escape - action/adventure
Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars - strategy - rpg meets strategy isn't rpg for rpg players


So it's high time for another RPG release soon.
I am not talking about latest releases, but about catalog in general. I've got nothing new to buy on GOG to support it and have to spend my $ on Gamersgate. GOG should think about casual players too.

In the harsh days of DOS, there was no casual.

Okay, that didn't sound as tough or impressive as I expected it to. (I get your meaning though.) Carry on.

So I take it, it won't be merged into the original game?

I've just checked, and it turns out there are even more adventure games than RPGs (counting every title in the catalogue that comes up for "Adventure" and "RPG", there are 59 and 40 titles, respectively).
Also, I wouldn't call Theme Hospital, and especially Pharaoh, casual games.

Heroes of Might&Magic was considered casual game by many players, so you can grab Heroes Chronicles.

What other games you'd like to see (titles) ? Tycoon and racing games aren't casual.

I recently bought the Spellforce: Universe compilation so I don't need this one. I haven't played it yet, but in the past I played Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars which impressed me as being similar to Warcraft 3 but with a stronger RPG element and better graphics. At times it can be daunting trying to manage the RTS and micro manage the hero's party in the thick of battle.. but I really enjoyed it just the same.
