Talk to them, or raid them.

Depths of Peril, an action role-playing title with some elements of strategy mixed in for original flavor, is now available for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com, for only $9.99.

The life of a barbarian warlord is no easy one. One must deal with rival factions through diplomacy, trade, and in time, war. Between battles and raids against other barbarian tribes, you build the most powerful faction possible, to withstand your enemies. Building the power of a faction involves exploring a fantasy world, slaying dangerous monsters, solving quests for the city, avoiding deadly traps, and plundering loot to share within your faction. But in this world, actions actually have consequences, so take care. Annoying the powerful and aggressive Legion of Fear faction will cause them to declare war and destroy you. Ignored Orc uprisings in the Black Forest will cause even more trouble. Protect ally covenants that are being raided, because friends are hard to come by.

Depths of Peril is a single-player action RPG (role-playing game) with strong strategy elements. You play as a faction leader protecting the barbarian city, Jorvik, by destroying threatening monsters and completing quests. At the same time, you compete with rival factions to see who will rule the city. Barbarians choose their leaders by fighting to the death! The game comes with some interesting gameplay ideas, like a dynamic 3D world in which your actions truly have consequences and diplomatic relations matter. On top of that, clear and colorful graphics, and solid action-RPG mechanics make the game well worth your time.

If you haven't yet heard about the developer Soldak Entertainment, a small studio with a decade-long history of games made with love, make sure to pick up Depths of Peril for only $9.99 on GOG.com. If you have, we probably don't need to convince you!
This looks interesting, I think I will wishlist it till I have some extra funds to spend. :)
Hopefully this means more Soldak titles here... I have them all from the developer / on Steam already, except for Kivi's Underworld and its expansion...
hmmm, not really a good game. Not bad, just mediocre. Has Always had a price that's too much, when compared to stuff like torchlight or fate... so not surprised about the price here tbh. A skip for me (not even wishlisted).
Fun rpg with some interesting features.
Already have in Steam, only played a bit but is fun
Now that's a release right up my alley!

I was already considering getting the Steam version and now i'm glad that i waited. Wishlisted for now. :)
Soldak is on board? Nice!

To be honest, I have always preferred Kivi's Underworld from their catalog (I think I must be the only one...), and I would like it if you get Drox Operative + expansion here :)

Nope, you're not. I didn't particularly like their other games all that much, but I'd be interested in buying Kivi's Underworld, so I hope it will follow.

You can d/l it free here (haven't tried playing it myself).

Depths of Peril is a great idea with not so great execution. The randomly generated maps are very ... Meh and predictable, especially dungeons are just a bunch of stuff thrown about without as much as looking logical, which even the original Diablo managed to pull off. Still, the underlying idea actually takes the game quite far and gives one a fair bit of fun, so that's a thing

That's just the demo, though. You need to buy it to unlock the full game. Still - nice to have a direct link to the demo for people to try it out :)

Edit: Here is the demo in both Mac and Windows versions:

Hm, I assume that's just the demo, seeing that the game is still sold on Soldak's own webpage.

EDIt: Ah, ninja'd again. :D

Actually it (iirc) didn't say "demo" on the page from what I can see :

So, sorry if it seems misleading :)
Depths of Peril is like the 0.94b prototype of Din's Curse. There's no real reason to play DoP, because everything in it eventually got done oh so much better in Din's Curse.

Also I hate this because now I'm going to feel like I need to rebuy all the Soldak games as they come here, even though I already own them all on their site.
