No, even if it looks really cool.

The current status, reading the comments and updates, is asking for waiting for manuals and other issues to be ironed out, especially for the price tag.

Nonetheless it looks awesome.

considering development on Grimoire started in 1997, don't hold your breath

It s true he delivered in the end.

Finger crosssed

The main expansion to the game was released very soon alongside the game.

The extra expansions are not made by the main developer, and most are intended as end-game content.

Too true.

FWIW, for dungeon crawlers both "The Quest" (of this thread fame) and "Zavix Tower" are 50% off ($4.99 US) in the Steam weekly sale.

This week, obviously.

All we can do is either vote for it on the wishlist or make a thread complaining about its absence from the GOG library. Thankfully, both of these objectives are actively being accomplished. :D I voted for it long ago.

As a side note, "The Quest" is on sale over at that other place right now until March 26th for $4.99.

Yeah, right. Quest looks like one of those "charmless copycat clones". That being said, the game should be on gog.com.

I'm not saying the game is bad. I do believe that selling "expansions" as in-game items is at the very least a questionable business practice because it can potentially misinform the consumer. However, that is not my point.

I think - and to be clear this is just a hypothesis - this game didn't get picked up by GOG because it's business model is not (or at least was not at the time) supported by this website. The only game on GOG that offers in-game purchases as far as I know is Gwent and, let's be honest, they disabled reviews for it in this websiite for a reason. Gwent embodies everything about contemporary games that people who prefer to buy on GOG are trying to avoid: online only, multiplayer focused, pay to win, etc.

I think The Quest's developers saying the game was deemed too niche by GOG is a way to avoid openly discussing their business model with their community in a way that could put them in a bad light. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but "The Quest is too niche for GOG" is turning into another meme like Jack Keane and a lot people might be getting the wrong idea. Usually, when something doesn't sound like a reasonable explanation, it really isn't.

Redshift wasn't selling in-game expansions when they pitched the game to GOG. This came about much later after GOG rejected them.

They also offer free user-made expansions on Steam Workshop. http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse?appid=428880

This is exactly in-line with what they've always done. They offer the editor, users create stuff with it and decide on whether to sell it, give it away for free or keep it to themselves, with no input from Redshift, though I imagine they probably get some cut of the commercial expansions.

Again, Redshift themselves created only the game, the official expansion & the soundtrack. All 3 products have their own pages, are eligible for refunds, and bundled with a discount.

The rest is user created content that adds NOTHING to the main game or expansion, and the only reason to buy them is if you like the game mechanics/artwork enough that you want to keep playing. It is not cut content. It is not cheat items. These do not in any way interact with the main game or official expansion, at all.
