Game News Lords of Xulima released on GOG

That is because GOG is a Polish company (registred in Cyprus, due to tax reasons), and we Polish people are very slow and lazy thorough workers.

 

AT LAST

 

Is it gud? Codex review coming?

 

Waiting for the Linux version myself

 

maybe I should review it

 

I would say the game is good, but gets very repetitive after 40+ hours.
Then again, that is 40+ hours of joy, so who cares?

 

Just got this on gog for $13
Runs quite bad on my laptop, wish there was a FPS limiter, guess I will have to play it on my gaming pc after all.
Funny how my gog account looks like an indie showcase with FTL, Papers Please, Neo Scavenger, etc.
Super happy to help finance quality indies...screw AAA

 

Is it good? Well do you have Aspergers/OCD?

No - it is shit.
Yes - yes it is good.
(it's incredibly grindy, needs large time investment to see any progress/different zones, miniscule character progression each level, shitty food mechanic and +1 damage incremental weapon excitement to be found in shops)

I didn't like it.

 

I liked the review. The rat fetish was a bit weird but the guy likes beer therefore he's automatically cool. He definitely bumped the game up from "never gonna play this" to a pretty high spot on my laundry list. I like the combat a lot, reminds me of Disciples 2 which I'm a huge fan of. And since Eisenwald is nowhere in sight this is the next best thing.

My only question is - do I have to assemble a magic artifact and use it to kill an evil wizard? I do don't I?
Sweet fucking jesus...

 

This games writing and main quest is so bad, it is good. Just never take it serious and take breaks when it gets repeative.
A little tip for you, having a bard in group really helps mid-late game.

 

Are we talking Final Fantasy levels of grind or Disgaea? I don't mind a bit of grinding myself

 

The game is pretty grindy, though it's up to you how much to grind. You don't have to camp zones to kill every enemy group to progress through the game. Hell, I grinded the shit out every area since the game tickled my sperging tendencies and that actually made the late game too easy, even on the veteran difficulty (which I guess is the equivalent of normal). So I think you can skip a lot of the grind as long as you follow rule numero uno: increase the learning skill (increases XP gained) every level, no exceptions, until it's maxed.

I liked the game overall, though it does kinda drag later on. And yeah, the story is suitably cheesy and epic, with lots of bombastic voices and tons of different evil laughs--giggling mushrooms, cackling skulls, tittering bandits, mwahahaing princes, and on and on... Your character is probably meant to be a grizzled veteran, but he just sounds constipated. "I'm, on the verge, of expelling, this turd..." And the most ridiculously-voiced god speaks to you in your dreams.

The game's ending sets up a sequel, so I hope it's successful enough that the developers get to make Xulima II, hopefully with even more retarded voice-acting greater dungeon variety. The repeating dungeon types are the game's biggest weakness IMO, and one of the reasons it feels overly long. 4 princes in 4 castles, 4 witches in 4 cabins, 8 heralds in 8 temples...

Still, so unexpected to get such a huge blobber, puzzles included, in this day and age. I give the developers much props for going balls out like that.

 

The game is on sale for a week for $17.99 ( deluxe edition ) .

 

Your PoE review would have cemented integrity if your LoX is well done. God speed.
