High fantasy and modern-day technology in RPG-RTS fusion.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/heroes_of_annihilated_empires]Heroes of Annihilated Empires, a fantasy RTS with RPG elements from the makers of Cossacks and American Conquest, is available now on GOG.com for $9.99.

Heroes of Annihilated Empires is a magic-themed strategy game with four playable races: the Elves (Sylvan Folk), the Mechanicians (technologically advanced dwarves), the Cryo Race (barbarians with a specialty in cold magic), and the Undead (Zombies, Skeletons, Werewolves, and other cuddly creatures). Story centers around Elhant, an Elven Ranger, and his attempts to save his world from destruction by the undead Legions of Ashes. The game’s dark fantasy storyline, created by Ukrainian novelist Ilya Novak and told with graphic novel-inspired cutscenes and voiceovers, is one of the strongest points of the game.

Those familiar with previous strategie games by GSC already know how players can collect insanely huge numbers of units, and how great the battles of thousands look. In the RTS part of Heroes of Annihilated Empires, you build, gather, train, and finally defeat your opponents. In RPG ‘mode’, the player’s hero (Warrior, Ranger, or a Mage) is the leader of an army, and charges into battle to fight evil one on one, wearing loot collected from past battles, casting spells, gaining experience, and becoming more powerful in your quest to win.

Whether you’re into action RPGs or massive RTS battles, Heroes of Annihilated Empires is an original and interesting take on fantasy strategy, available now on GOG.com for $9.99.

JudasIscariot: No, it's just that we aren't one with the GOG wishlist yet. Have no fear, I heard we are getting some new equipment and I believe I heard the word "augmentation" being used soooo :P

Roman5: Wait...my post was downrepped because I provided a valid note to the team? seriously? REALLY?
Perhaps the Magic words of "Please" and "Thank You' would improve your rep and perhaps cause an alternative reality to zip into existence leading to world peace (or pieces) you never know until you try.

Lionel212008: You must check out stalker:SOC with the stalker complete mod which weaves in the key elements beautifully and helps augment the atmosphere further.Stalker:SOC is perhaps GSc gameworlds finest work till date and I would absolutely love to see it on GOG. The game is first person RPS and not a FRPG which fallout 3 is. Having played the first 2 fallout games , 3 was somewhat disappointing even though tgraphically it was very beautiful - when I think of post apocalyptic survivalistic experience I think stalker does it much better than fallout 3 and the gameplay is also less cumbersome.

Bear in mind that I am only comparing it to fallout 3 and not the original fallout or it's stellar sequel which in my opinion are the finest rpgs out there. Since I have yet to finish new vegas -it's too early to draw a comparison there. And yes Stalker:SOC is much more engaging and has much better than pacing fallout 3 - even vanilla. The latter two stalker games however aren't as good as SOC in my opinion but they are still great.
Gameplay videos looks real awesome. I'll have to check up on that game.

It's not a sign-up form but it does the job :D

Since you're blue, might as well as point out to you that someone has been forgetting to update the "New & Coming" tab on the home page: Tomb Raider, Colonization. Pandemonium, Heroes of Annihilated Empires, and Tropico 3 are not listed.

I don't expected any game from GSC since they're close. Now waiting Cossacks II and Alexander releases as well.

Yeah Shogun, that really sucks. I've lost the ability to write to my dvd drive in the past, due to game installed DRM (my worst drm experience). One or two other games crashing constantly due to their drm was no fun either. I have been replacing some of my favorite "box" games with GOG games for just that reason...will probably pick this one up in the future after I work through some of my back log, lol. Only problem I have ever had with a GOG game was some crashing, but soon discovered that it was the incompatibility of the older game with my multi-core computer (and nothing to do with the fact it was a GOG game). I started using a utililty that launched the game(s) using one core, and they played like a charm :-). Long and sure of my point is, I only buy DRM free games now, and GOG has been an awesome source to obtain them.

Some good news - GSC game world still exists as an entity and hasn't been shut down. However the original development team was fired and they are looking for a fresh new development to begin working on Stalker 2 afresh. Which means that the game has been put on hold indefinitely -
