Tough as nanocarbon.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit, a modern Sci-Fi roguelike turn-based RPG that challenges you to explore an ancient, monster-infested alien complex, is now available 25% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.49 for the first week!

Are you prepared for the Pit? If you think you are, scout, you've already failed and our world is doomed. I want you to really understand this: you are not prepared. Nothing in the world could have prepared you. No amount of training, not even years of experience, nothing. So if you're feeling confident, that you can go to the Feldspar Mountains, scavenge the ancient Suul'ka complex, steal their secrets, and return with the cure for the Ghoul Plague--we're dead. Our only hope lies in your ability to doubt yourself, second-guess your own judgment, and think twice about your every step. This is how dangerous the Pit is. I would know. I've been there. I reached level 3 before my squad was decimated by mutant beasts. So, soldier, I'll ask you one final time, and this time I want you to really think before you give me your answer: are you prepared?

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a phenomenal turn-based RPG turning the traditional roguelike dungeon exploration, item scumming, and careful planning into a modern gaming experience. The infamous Pit is randomly generated on each playthrough, which--combined with the game's three different character classes--makes up for crazy replayability value. With tons of items to find, many equipment and character modifications, and--most importantly--a vast selection of blood-hungry monsters waiting for your every mistake, this game offers you a Sci-Fi adventure you'll be enjoying for hours and hours.

If you like challenging games that first become your passion, then an obsession, and finally an addiction, you need to grab Sword of the Stars: The Pit right now, for only $7.49 on GOG.com! The offer lasts until Thursday, April 25, at 9:59AM GMT.
Ha! I was hoping this would make it here. Instabuy.

Me too but I'm actually kinda relieved. I spent way too much on GOG these past few weeks.

G-Doc: I know that Judas is a big fan of this one. He's even thinking about making a brief "let's play" video in which he could express the whole extent of his love towards it. What do you think, guys? Should we make him actually go through with this idea? :-)
Yes. Absolutely yes!
Do it quick, Judas - I'm still on the edge about this one ; )

I hope, that “Mind Games” Expansion, will be also available for GOG customers.
this looks marvelous, I really hope it's as good as it looks... bought.
this release is the High point of the releases this week for me.

glad i waited it out and it found a home on GOG before i bought it elsewhere. GOG came thru ^_^
quite looking forward to this one.
has to be 2nd to the top of the wishlist for now though >_<

my #1 pick is only 2.50 more (also on GOG) and i shouldnt splurge...for now

but were they both for $10 / 50% off id have to pull some coconut shell game with my funding to get it done
Finally, GOG! For me, it is GOTY 2013 candidate no.1, something like FTL and LoG were last year...
I have already played a lot of hours on Steam, but it is instabuy here too.. Thanks!
This looks interesting, think I'll buy this one.

Yes, do it! :P
Nice release.
This looks very interesting. I'm a bit surprised that the graphic requirements are so high (for me). Does anyone know how "hungry" for video RAM the game is?

Edit: Ah, I found a demo on the net... will try this first this evening :-)

Personally, I am not too fond of The Pit, but this is a good step towards GOG acquiring the 4x strategy games. Looking forward to that. :)
The time I got to spend with this game during the demo, yes it's hard, but it's interesting and fun as hell. At least give the demo a shot if you think you might even be remotely interested in it. I was holding out on purchasing hoping it would make it here. :D
Looks like a fun game I might enjoy. Does this come with a Steam key?
