The GOG.com frenzy begins. Todays unexpected release of Arx Fatalis is just one of many surprises which will be revealed throughout this month. Stay tuned for more announcements!
[url=/en/gamecard/arx_fatalis][/url]Today we present to you [url=/en/gamecard/arx_fatalis]Arx Fatalis[/url], a classic dungeon crawler with unique features, most notably a spellcasting system in which you "draw" magic runes in the air instead of just clicking a skill. The game offers an interesting storyline and allows the players multiple ways of achieving their goals. But if you thought that was all for today, think again, as we're adding [url=/en/gamecard/port_royale_2]Port Royale 2[/url], an open-ended business strategy game, to the coming soon section. No holds are barred in the Carribean, so whether you want to be a merchant, a buccaneer, or both, is your choice.
Holy shit that is awesome. It's sad Arx had so few exposure, it truly deserves it. I highly recommend it if you're not claustrophobic :)
Holy!
This + that campaign, now I've just got to choose one of the 9.99 games to buy.
Thanks, GOG!
Port Royale 2 is similar to Patrician III, but moved to Carribean, ya?
good'ol arx fatalis. ill be getting that one for sure.
its available on steam for the same price, but i like gog more because they are dedicated to older games and by purchasing from them hopefully theyll keep adding more and more games.
Arx was fairly decent, and there was a fair bit of stuff you could do. Many areas in the game are designed to be taken at certain points, so no apparent auto-leveling against your character. Shame I never finished it, may revisit (once I've revisited all the other stuff I've said I'll revisit).
The only issue I had was with the magic system, while it is a creative use of gestures, I found it to be a little tricky to pull off right, especially in combat.
Port Royal 2 looks like a bit of Patrician. May have to check that one out sometime.
Very nice surprise.
Arx Fatalis was a great game, actually was going to be a new Ultima game but they couldn't get the rights to ultima so they had to name it something different.
Will definitely be picking this one up.
Man, I am a bit bummed that Port Royale 2 is not coming out until the day after the sale is over. I have been trying to find 2 $10.00 I want but PR2 would have been one of my two choices.

But the month has just begun... :D
Arx Fatalis was pretty damn fun, even if it's supposedly not as fun as the Ultima Underworld games it was modeled after.
And on that note, an interesting cheat: try casting the spell "UUW", using the letters as the runes.
Port Royale will be my first purchase from here :D

Yeah, I pity my stomach as well
I'm really surprised.
I'm not surprised Arx Fatalis came here. I'm surprised that, ANOTHER SOUNDTRACK became available from gog.com!
Wow. How come to get such a lot SOUNDTRACK, while they were never released at all? (Or... those Soundtracks were released, and just I don't know?)
