I always wanted to coop this with my brothers, but by the time we all had PC's that could run it. Everyone had moved on from Mageslayer. It's time to bring it back!

I don't remember much but for sure it was quite fun to play after bloody hell Doom and Quake. When I was a child I didn't know how popular these game are but I played them all, all 3 of them were equally good for me.

Better than Gauntlet Slayer Edition. The Hexen music and sounds gives it atmosphere and the warping wall textures gives it charm. The story is kill everything that moves. Best story ever told.
I remember playing this game with my brother in the 90s even before i start playing well, i was asking him to play with a certain character and i would watch,since i was too young to progress far enough.

I feel like this is a no-brainer. This is the fantasy equivalent of Take No Prisoners, which already is on GOG, and both were part of my first experiences with fun, gory action as a kid. This is the definition of a good old game to me, and very much essential. I was actually surprised that it wasn't here already! Could then also easily be on offer as a two-pack as well, since they're already sibiling games. Classic, classic, classic.

I had this in a physical CD. It's a wonderful long adventure that I'm still missing to complete with some characters. I haven't seen another dungeon crawling game with such good gameplay. You can choose between characters having different skills, which suits different playing styles.

Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions.

Drakengard
DrakengardDrakengard follows the story of a kingdomless prince named Caim who fights for the Union against the Empire. Under the Union's protection are the Hierarchs and the Goddess, currently Caim's sister Furiae, who is a human manifestation of one of the four seals that protect the world from being broken. As the game begins, Cain is fatally wounded in a battle with the Empire. Encountering a captured Red Dragon who is also near death, Caim makes a fateful choice. In exchange for both their lives, the Red Dragon and Caim will enter a pact. This pact will forever chain their lives to one another and link their souls, at the cost of something irreplaceable. Recharged with the fires of a Dragon, Caim's vengeance burns over the enemy... The player controls Caim on his quest. The game is separated into three distinct modes: Aerial combat, Ground combat and Event Combat. In Aerial Combat, Caim rides dragonback against a variety of airborne foes breathing fireballs (strong single shots and weaker multiple lock-on shots). The Dragon is agile and is able to evade incoming threats, turning around completely in a moment. In Ground combat, the game is shown in 3rd person though usually large, open areas. Controlling Caim, his primary ability is the use of a variety of weapons found on the battlefield. These are leveled up through continued usage, and specifically through the killing of individual enemies. Though magic (determined by weapon choice), timed attacks and evasion, Caim breaks through enemy armies. Characters recruited as allies by Caim can also be summoned during battles, steadily losing health until control is returned to Caim. In ground combat, Caim may also call forth his Dragon to ride and strafe enemies from the air. The Dragon's movements are generally the same as in aerial combat but more limited and less agile. Event combat is similar to Ground combat, but shown isometrically, restricted to a single weapon and without the aid of a dragon. It is used mainly to tell story sequences. Levels that have been visited before might become "Expedition Missions" which are optional and contain new objectives, enemies and weapons. Additionally, any level previously played in the storyline may be revisited at any time. Depending on Caim's choices (and prerequisites for those choices), there are five different endings to Drakengard.
