Funnily enough, both series, Banner Saga and Shadowrun have Android ports. However there are plenty of P&C Adventures that don't, so playing them on a tablet would be nice. Maybe even some turn based strategy/tactics games. Interesting... I might consider getting a Windows tablet on my next upgrade.

Not surprising, since both series seem well optimized for mobile devices/ touch-screen control. With P&C games it's hit or miss -- most seem to work well, but in some games the cursor will go bonkers, because of the differences between mouse-based cursor control and touch-screen control. I imagine there's probably some software that could "translate" touch-screen input into traditional mouse cursor movements, to fix that issue.

As far as I remember Legend of Grimrock worked too, but my tablet was too slow to render decent frame-rates. And I played some Heroes of Might & Magic III, which worked well overall, except for a few commands which require a keyboard. ( I do have a wireless keyboard, but it kinda defeats the purpose of a tablet, if you need to use extra hardware. )

Many P&C adventures use the right mouse button for object descriptions or opening context menus - I'd imagine that this could be a problem when playing them on a Windows tablet? Or is there a specific gesture for simulating a right mouse click?

Yeah, for that you'll generally need a tablet with multi-touch functionality or an active digitizer/pen. To execute a "right click" on my tablet I can either: a) touch one finger to the tablet surface, and then simultaneously another b) use a button on my tablet pen, or c) touch and hold down a single finger or the pen tip for about 2 seconds ( theoretically this should also be possible on more primitive tablets, depending on their software ). Some tablets will also have customizable buttons on their frames, and one could probably map the right mouse button to one of those.

I've also seen some software which creates virtual, customizable buttons on your tablet screen, but I don't know how well those would work with games. The ones I've seen are primarily for graphics programs, such as Photoshop, so you can draw, paint etc. without need for a keyboard.

Yay, it's included in the latest Humble Bundle! :)

It's too bad they still don't offer the DLC though.

I think as of right now the only way to get the DLC in the DRM-Free build is to:

1) Activate the Steam key you get on Steam.

2) Buy the DLC on Steam and download the game.

3) Compare the files from the Steam version with the HB one.


While all this might sound complicated, be aware that most DLC's for games made with Unity are just some extra files, the slightly tricky part is finding which ones.

The Bundle has 2 weeks before it's off, if the game doesn't show up on GOG by then, I will see if I can do this.

Just found out about this game through that bundle. Surprised it isn't on GOG already. :(

What a sweet DRM free bundle, though. Downloading Warlock of Firetop Mountain now. ;)

I fully expect the following non-Steam purchase method to remain an option:
Me too. But I'm certainly not going to hold my breath and wait for it to arrive here.
