The Dark Eye gazes upon you!

Blackguards Special Edition, an engaging RPG in the world of the Dark Eye with deep tactical combat mechanics, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's $40.49 for the first week!

<i>The Dark Eye</i> (or rather, <i>Das Schwarze Auge</i>) is to the German role-playing gamers what <i>Dungeons and Dragons</i> is to their US counterparts. For exactly 30 years now, the brave adventures have roamed the land known as Aventuria. It witnessed epic campaigns, secretive plots, and strange magical happenings--everything that makes a place <i>real</i> in player's imagination. Now, Daedalic Entertainment, the german game-dev powerhouse that ventured into the world of The Dark Eye in their adventure games, [url=http://www.gog.com/game/the_dark_eye_chains_of_satinav]Chains of Satinav and Memoria, gives you a whole new and original story to experience. And this time--it's an RPG.

Blackguards Special Edition, a new turn-based strategy RPG, places the fate of the land in the hands of a pack of misfits, convicts, and outcasts. In its grim, yet engrossing gameworld, you will discover over 180 unique hex-based battlegrounds within a dark and mature story of crime, drugs, and murder. Play as a warrior, mage or hunter and customize your character's skills as you see fit. The challenging campaign delivers a story of doubt, treason and loss. You decide the course of the story at key turning points and determine its outcome. The game comes with a full soundtrack in WAV format (no lossy MP3 compression here, nope!), and video interviews with its creators.

Set out on an adventure unlike any other, and get to know the party of unlikely heroes of Blackguards Special Edition, for only $40.49 on GOG.com. The 10% off release discount offer lasts until Wednesday, January 29, at 3:59PM GMT.

Notice:
We'd like to invite you to an AMA event GOG.com and Daedalic Entertainment is currently holding on . Feel free to come, ask the creators of Blackguards some questions and pick up a complimentary copy of [url=http://www.gog.com/game/the_dark_eye_chains_of_satinav]Chains of Satinav.
Thanks for the free game GOG. =D

gibbeynator: Wait, it's on GOG and it has the German audio track? What new spore of madness is this?!
I'm actually a bit bummed.
Bitching and moaning about a missing German version on new Daedalic releases almost felt like kind of a tradition, and now I don't have that.

Added to my wishlist. This kind of game is my kind of game!

Thank you GOG for another giveaway and it's a nice gift! Made me smile when my face was like the weather outside my house.

amok: I am let down by the extras. I do not care that much about a couple of developer interviews and some wallpapers, so this is basically the same as the standard edition on Steam... not sure what is so special about it.

JMich: Soundtrack is included in GOG's version. As gandalf.nho said, it's midway between steam's standard and deluxe version.
and most importantly, GOG's version is drm-free
Aw, I was so excited... until I saw the price. That's just too much money for me to spend on a game. =(
More new games, cool.

Keep it up.
Nice! I was waiting for a new fantasy-tactical game since king's bounty..

Thank you GOG and Daedalic :)
Thank you for the free game. I love you guys :)
I seriously need some new hardware =(
No. I'll buy the Steam standard version, which is cheaper.

I normally don't make comments like that in a release thread, but I want to explicitly make a point: Steam carries two versions of this game, a standard one, and a deluxe one with things like an art-book. The games are the same in both cases. GOG insists on carrying one version, which costs extra for crap that I never will even download--guess who gets my business? Exact same thing with Raven, two versions of the game, GOG carries one of them, people posting in the release thread to say sorry, they'll buy it from the store that carries the version they want. Is it really so objectionable for GOG to carry multiple versions of the same game? They already do it with Dragon Commander.

Ooh. Pricey. Am I right to assume that the game is mainly just about fighting? It looks like story might take a backseat in this one (if it exists at all). At least that's the impression I've got from all the media material I've seen so far. It does look quite interesting, but it's not in my current budget right now.

Back to my backlog. Let's see if I can go through January without buying a single game. ;)
low rated
This site's getting so cluttered with bad games

I think it's more of a case of Daedalic wanting to rip off German speaking customers, because for us the Steam standard version costs pretty much the same as the GOG.com version, so this one offers much better value for people in German-speaking areas.

I second that, especially for THE RAVEN that I've bought here DRM-free and had to pass on the very good soundtrack. Btw: GOG's offering two versions from DRAGON COMMANDER (vanilla game and delxue), why not doing this as well with BLACKGUARDS and THE RAVEN?
