My all-time favourite RPG. Slow-paced classic gameplay in a wonderful world. Would be a great addition to the GOG library, the first Drakensang is already here.

I used to play this game back in the days a lot. The gameplay, story and world design together is pure nostalgia. For me playing this game feels like 'coming home' after hard day.
One of my favorite classic RPG games together with its predecessor. The game play may seems a bit slow compared to modern standards but therefore most of the quests are better written with better humor than in most modern games. I still have the original ROMs of both Drakensang games & the first one GOG. So why not add this too and make it easy playable again.

The first Drakensang was good, this prequel is brilliant. This is the closest I ever felt to replaying the old-school, heroic tabletop RPG's I used to love as a kid.

The follow-on to Drakensang. I found the River of Time to be more polished. It has great writing with decent graphics and combat. The world was a refreshing change from most fantasy RPGs. Character choice made a difference - play as a thief and raid the warehouse, play as a guard and stop the thieves from raiding that warehouse. The essential question for me is: Did I have fun playing the game? Yes, yes I did. I still have my disks and would love to play it again.
"Drakensang: The River of Time" is an underrated gem that deserves a place on GOG. It offers a fantastic RPG experience similar to NWN2 with a beautifully crafted world rich in lore and a unique low-magic setting based on the German "The Dark Eye" (Das Schwarze Auge) system. Since the first Drakensang is already on GOG, adding The River of Time and its expansion "Phileasson's Secret" would complete the series and allow more players to enjoy this great RPG. Hope to see it here soon! :)

Wolfenstein RPG
Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store. The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle. The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.

Shining Force
Shining ForceShining Force is a turn-based tactical RPG. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies 1 square. Units can belong to one of two sides: allies (controlled by the player) or enemies (controlled by the computer AI). Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Depending on its location relative to enemies and to allies, a unit also has the option to attack, cast a spell, use an item, search (if adjacent to a treasure chest), or stay and do nothing, all of which end the unit's turn. Some commands, such as equipping or dropping items, don't count as actions, and the character's turn is able to continue. The order of the turns is determined by the unit's agility score and a random seed. Units can use offensive actions, such as physical attacks or offensive magic, only on units belonging to the other side and can use supportive actions, such as healing magic, stat-enhancing magic, and items, only on units belonging to the same side.
