Okay so when the fuck am I going to be able to play the first game? Announce a release date for that before you announce a new game.

I've been playing the demo recently and the combat is dead boring while the dialog suffers from ye olde translation problems, plus navigating in the caves was extremely annoying.

Not sure if I'll pick this up, to be honest...I'll wait for some reviews I guess.

Any game can (will) have fans.

I was thinking of restarting the game with a battle mage if they brought out an add on that fixes some of the issues... *sigh*

I wonder if they plan to seuquel Gorasul:Legacy of the dragon.

No because it's too obscure. Nobody knows about it. I found it in the selling list of a Romanian hacker. Yeah, a hacker was the only person who sold it. Never saw it in any store or read anything about it in the gaming press.

So, basically, no.

Could you elaborate on that?

On the game?
Well, it's a rather "light" RPG. You're some former hero with a sword that speaks and levels up together with you. I don't remember much of it since I played it long ago, but there wasn't any real C&C and combat was rather mediocre. It was nothing special. And it's a rather obscure game, too, I dunno where you can get it nowadays [except maybe torrent sites and ebay]. It was published [and maybe also developed?] by JoWood.

 

[Andhaira]

It was jowoods first game.


lol

Does anyone else read 'blowjob' when reading 'jowood'?

It's got fans, too bad that fandom ends in Deutschland.
