Politics have no place in games. People play games to relax or distract themselves from the crazy reality. And you are trying to impose your hostility even here...

I’m curious, does GOG support a policy of such statements that incite hostility and interethnic discord?

...are you serious?

in the year of our lord [insert-year-number-here]?

there have been political games ALMOST SINCE the dawn of the medium.

please see "a mind forever voyaging."

if you want the medium to be taken seriously [which i assume you do], then all sorts of games should be allowed to be made. and yes, that includes "political games."

Uh, does this game have StarForce hard coded into it? My Windows 11 computer (sucks, I know) just blocked me from installing the game as it detected a trojan during the download through GOG Galaxy.

Definitely has a "2000 SEGA arcade" feel to me, at least judging by the image. Protagonist himself seems a cross between Gauron and (a younger) Scooper Gaban (the first one is a villain, which kinda makes sense).
I was also like "it's goofy but badass, it's like Errol Flynn". Then I found out there was a 1935 Errol Flynn movie by the same title. Is it intended? Is it a homage?

I really do not appreciate getting website notifications for games I don't care about. Or really for anything I did not actively tell GOG to alert me.

Also, while I'm here: I hate that GOG emails do not offer alt text but instead rely heavily on pictures my Thunderbird is thankfully blocking by default. Well, if I don't see what you want me to buy I'm not buying. Your loss. Yes, I told support about alt text. No, they don't do a thing about it.

Don't think that's happening, chief. It's a mid 2000s game they found on a shelf somewhere.

They have access to the source code, so shouldn't be too hard. They can also simply release the source for the game engine and let others mod it. That's the proper preservation method.

I tried looking at the save file, but it's not really clear yet how to modify the difficulty in it. If anyone comes up with a working method, that would be nice.

By the way, what does buying the same combo multiple times do, gives it more power?

FYI: If anyone wants to get music from the game, see here how to extract it from the game resources.

Also, sharing this here as it serves as sort of mini game manual with details on some characters and NPCs:

So sad to see WBM paying for exclusives smh
/s

They should have bundled that in some small PDF add-on for the game. Some nice art there.

That long??? I've never heard of a 3D game being shelved that long and then being released.

It’s one of those games with a long and convoluted history. The short version is this: it’s based on a book by Rafael Sabatini, and the game was originally developed by Akella for 1C. However, it turned out that 1C didn’t actually have the rights to make the game, the rights belonged to Playlogic. After a long legal battle, 1C had to return the rights to Playlogic, who took over deveopment. Unfortunately, Playlogic went bankrupt in 2010, and the game was cancelled. Then, in 2020, SNEG acquired the rights to the game - and here we are now.
