I'm not an RPG fan, but Divinity:OS left me some marks and I'll give this one a shot - it remembers me of Soul Reaver.

This game needs some serious polishing. The prologue is simply pointless and awkward (even ifit's meant to be a tutorial). Combat is too slow and way too tedious. As in, not fun. Sometimes clicks don't register at all. The highlight button is broken; unless you set it to toggle, it won't work -- but in toggle mode, it's crap. Also, wtf is wrong with V-sync?! I set it to "on", yet there's screen tearing.

On the upside, the soul mechanic is not bad at first glance.

I wanted to delete it after about the first 10 minutes.

Should anyone feel that way too, please wait until you get to the first town.

Amazing.....

What's exactly so amazing about the first town? Because I find it boring.

Personally, i like what i see. In each area you should switch between the demon and the puppet. You can find different things. Don't use only the puppet while in the safe zones. Each area has its shadow and you will find something new in the shadows.

Book 1 is the first part of the story. Book 2 will complete the story (will be released for free in early 2015) and will be released as DLC. I hope there will be more Books coming out with the new stories from Heretic Kingdom, but that will depend on Shadows success... Smile

http://steamcommunity.com/app/256030/discussions/0/624075482739646307/

+ explanation why the divided it:
Quote:
The Early Access version of the action RPG Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms has already met with extremely positive feedback from players and the media alike. For this reason, the German publisher, bitComposer, and the developers at Games Farm have agreed to invest additional development time into this exceptional title. However, to prevent fans and supporters from having to wait for the extended edition with its new, increased scope, the game will be released in two books:

    Book I: Devourer of Souls (November 2014)
    Book II: Age of Demons (February 2015)


The two books will be sold together for the reduced price of €29.99, so all Early Access supporters and buyers of the first book will receive Book II in spring 2015 for free. Further books to expand the Heretic Kingdoms universe are planned.

Peter Nagy, Head of Development at Games Farm:
    “It was clear to us from the start that Shadows had the potential to be a great game. But at the beginning of development, we realized that Shadows was going to surpass even our expectations and would be the biggest and most ambitious project we’ve ever worked on to date. The hugely positive feedback from the players and the great previews of the Early Access build did the rest.

    However, the increased scope of the game has also increased development requirements. We had to ask ourselves a difficult question and make a decision: How can we meet the fans’ expectations without taking away the features and the content that make the game so unique?

    So we made the following decision: to leave Shadows as it is and at the same time meet the high expectations of our fans. We’ll split Shadows into two large segments/stories and call them ‘Books’.

    To show our gratitude to the players who have supported us during the Early Access phase and who continue to support us, we have also decided to give them free access to the predecessor of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms - Kult: Heretic Kingdoms as soon as the Steam port is ready.”


The recent decision to split Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms into two Books and the afforded additional development time allow for increased scope and significantly increased playing time. Overall, the gameplay time with only single one of the three main characters exceeds estimated 20 hours. Each main character offers an own personal story which brings great replay value.

It's like playing online with 3 second delay in this game. Very strange.

Well, you have two actual RPGs, an action RPG and an action game.

If you're looking for RPGs, I would hope you feel no need to buy DA:Idiocracy.

Nah. Unless it's 4-5 euro, no chance in hell. My next purchase will be Lords of Xulima, as i friggin' love what they did. I already own Valkyria (preordered from GMG using a voucher and got the game at around 14 euro) and the final is this game (though, i'd rather wait to be completed).

DA:Derpology is on my list of purchases named: "when a blue moon comes"

Plenty of nice games (indie and AA), so...Plus, i have Aarklash to finish (recently started and enjoying it).

Seems like release of the Kult on steam and Book 2 is delayed until bitComposer's insolvency is resolved. :-/
Quote:

Unfortunately any payments go to the bitComposer's insolvency proceedings and we won't see anything out of it ever. So you are not really supporting us by any manner by buying Shadows to be honest. Regardless we hope you enjoy and will like Shadows - even if there are some flaws, it is a good game, likely the best we have ever done Smile

I don't think we will cooperate with bitComposer ever again as we can't trust them any word but regardless of that we firmly believe that eventually we will find the way how to accomplish the Shadows.

I cannot make any promises or statements about the timeline and conditions about Book 2 release though.
