Russian language update and 50% off promo for a week to celebrate!

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/etherlords]Etherlords and Etherlords 2, two challenging strategy titles with trading-card battle mechanics, RPG elements, and an beautiful fantasy world, as well as S2: Silent Storm Gold Edition, a complex turn-based squad-command game set in an alternate history World War II, are getting a Russian language pack update today, on GOG.com. With that, we discount all three games by 50% for an entire week! That means you'll pay only $2.99 for either of Etherlords games, and only $4.99 for S2: Silent Storm until Monday, August 19, at 12:59PM GMT.

S2: Silent Storm Gold Edition, which also includes the huge add-on--S3: Silent Storm Sentinels, brings complex turn-based tactical gameplay into the colorful setting of alternate World War II, to create a memorable gameplay experience. The 3D world, that becomes the theater of war, is full of destructible obstacles and objects, the characters support ragdoll mechanics, and even the flight of the projectiles is simulated using the Havok physics engine. With many missions ahead of you, and even more tactical options to choose from, this game will bring you hours and hours of multi-layered fun and challenge! Now, only $4.99!

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/etherlords/]Etherlords[/url] and Etherlords 2 combine the trading-card duel mechanics of games such as Magic: The Gathering with the world exploration and resource gathering of turn-based strategy classics as the Heroes of Might and Magic series. The player takes control over a champion of one of the game's four diverse races and embarks on a quest for ultimate power. The Kinets and Vitals, represent the light and prolific aspect of Ether (the self-aware energy that animates the world), the Chaots and Synthets, in turn, personify the dark and destructive facet of the omnipresent force. The choice of a race, greatly affects the gameplay, and all the campaigns offered across both games will provide you with countless hours of gameplay, so you can perfect your technique and tactics. Each game is now available for only $2.99!

Again, all three mentioned games--[url=http://www.gog.com/game/etherlords]Etherlords[/url], Etherlords 2, and S2: Silent Storm Gold Edition, are now available in Russian language. You can get them all with 50% off discount until Monday, August 19, at 12:59PM GMT.

tinyE: In one review I even heard E2 vaguely compared to Diablo. Any thoughts on this?
WHAT?! I think it's a terrible comparison, even with a word "vaguely". Except for the fantasy setting and maybe camera angle I don't see anything else that connects those two games.

To keep it short: you move around the map in turns and collect some cards so that you can create your perfect and unique deck. Whenever you encounter some enemy you battle him using your cards (similar to Magic: the Gathering). You summon some creatures, cast spells, order your minions to attack/defend and so on. Incredibly addictive!

If you are not into this kind of games you should get Etherlords 2. It has a very nice feature: you can turn on auto-battles. Of course it would be boring and pointless to beat the game like that but you can use it just several times to see some good strategies (watch and learn!) and then continue by yourself.
thank you! :D
Thanks for the language update, GOG! :D

tinyE: thank you! :D
Check your PMs and let me know what you think after you've tried it out.
I may pick up Silent Storm before the promo is over, nice to see that I have a week.
More languages are always welcome. Thanks for the efforts and the promo.
It's weird, when I saw this promo the first thing that came to mind was, "Is GOG doing a special promo because those games will soon be unavailable?"

I've become paranoid. :/

Thanks for the answer. We like bonus too. :)
Etherlords is so much fun! I don't like collectible card games very much (pretty much because of the "collectible" part, even worst if the cards you are collecting are digital!), but these games are about playing with "cards" as you must get them much like the way you buy/find/loot stuff in other games. What I'm saying is, the game already comes with all the cards. Oh, and If you like H. R. Giger's work, you will have a nice surprise with one of the factions in the game.
Woo-hoo! Спасибо!!! :]
Great games.
But... Where are the manuals on russian?!? :\
Last day and I still can't decide whether to buy Silent Storm or not. To judge by the comments here, it seems like it might be frustratingly difficult, but what I watched from an LP, it also seemed fun.

Already bought Etherlords 2, but haven't tried it yet. (Been playing Reus and Divinity 2.) If I like it, I'll pick up the first one at a later date.

However, Silent Storm... I can't make up my mind. =/
