It sold enough to warrant an add-on?

It was probably almost finished before ArcaniA was even released, we all know this DLC shit can usually be easily incorporated in the original game.Jaesun said:

Don't forget Oblivion 5.
Expansions, never good beginning from The Black Gate.
Don't worry guys, the world will erupt into full scale war before they are released and development studios will all end up being bombed.
When the war finally ends, a new world order will be brought about, le popemole will be outlawed and it will be the start of a new golden age of rpg's.

As long as Age of Decadence can get out during 2011, the year still can be salvaged.

Not to early to be calling this Fail of Shitarrif methinks.
OK, I've just played through it today!
It is undoubtedly a very special game. While it's difficult to recommend buying it, at least it's better than Gothic 3 and original ArcaniA simply because it made me smile quite a few times how terrible it is. Therefore you should not buy it, but if you got it in some bundle you might give it a try. The playthrough took me less than 2 hours, albeit some scripts must have broke in my game and ending cut-scenes never played.
Voice overs, especially these of the enemies, are so hilariously bad (at least in English version) that there's no way they weren't done so deliberately. Dialogues are bad, but not as bad as in original or G3, they are acceptable if you don't expect much. The entire storyline is railroaded and there is no open world to explore, you just follow corridors. Combat can be skipped 90% of the time simply running past enemies who are always slower than you (except panthers, which I encountered three). Unfortunately, it's easy to glitch into a terrain and die a horrible death crashing into a wall, or falling into a water puddle, so F5 often. In this regard it stays true to the original ArcaniA.
Hilariously, the very few quests are: Find an NPC, kill women to save men from becoming their sex slaves, find 4 stones to open a gate and kill a demon (which never spawned in my game). That's all.
This is a pure hack'n slash game with few dialogues, and no equipment management either: You spawn fully equipped and do not need to change it during the entire game, although you can pick up useless trash from chests.
Overall, it's a bad and broken mess, but ridiculous enough that if you already have it through some cheap bundle you might want to give it a try in one evening. I literally installed, played through the entire game, uploaded screenshots and wrote this review before my girlfriend came back from shopping.

Killing women to protect men from becomig sex slaves was not exactly what I expected from Arcania!
Meeting good old friends again!
I guess it's the end of the game and something was supposed to happen here
