This post has been updated with new information, please see the final paragraph for the update.
While browsing through the GOG releases from the past few years, I stumbled across – hidden way deep down in the bowels of pages and pages of games – potential listings for Armello, Nekro, Starcrawlers, World of Magic and Satellite Reign.
For a little more information about each of the games and what might be going on with regards to their potential release to the GOG store, feel free to head past the break.
None of these are for sale yet, and all of these might turn out to be false positives, but it is worth noting that Armello, Starcrawlers and Worlds of Magic at least, have store pages. Right now, all one can do on these is wish list the game in question – the other two simply lead to the listing of games you might have been looking at whenever you click on them.
Would I like to wishlist Armello? If I could do it more than once, I totally would.
Nekro seems like a strategy/rpg hybrid in the vein of games like Sacrifice, Overlord and Dungeon Keeper where you use a necromancer to summon vile demons to aid your cause in taking over everything and everyone that stands in your path.
Nekro released to early access on 2 May, 2014
Satellite Reign looks to be a modernized, more colourful version of Syndicate. In Satellite Reign you take a handful of soldiers and let them loose on a cyberpunk-influenced world.
Satellite Reign has no release date attached to it but went into Early Access on 11 December, 2014.
Starcrawlers is a Legend of Grimrock in space. It is essentially a turn-based role playing game in which you play a collection of Crawlers [folks who take jobs for fame, fortune and the like] who roam around the galaxy.
Starcrawlers released into early access on 17 March, 2015
Worlds of Magic is essentially Master of Magic for modern machines. This means that it is a fantasy-styled 4x game that is turn-based. In Worlds of Magic, you create a hero from a faction who attempts to control the land via spellcraft, diplomacy or pure force.
Worlds of Magic released to Steam on 19 March, 2015
Armello is a dark, turn-based fantasy-themed board game that has card-game and strategy elements. It utilizes a Studio Ghibli approach to its visuals, which are quite charming. Each of the factions you can play is an anthropomorphic animal of some sort.
Armello released into early access on 22 January, 2015
One of the potential reasons none of these are out on Gog yet is that they are all in Early Access [except for Worlds of Magic] and have yet to move into 1.0/release status. Gog generally doesn’t tend to sell games that are still in a beta of some persuasion.
Update! Armello is confirmed
for a GOG release at some stage.
