So we can conclude either that there are no competent English translators to be had in Russia, or that Russian developers/publishers are stingy bastards who don't give a rat's ass about the translation.

I wasn't exactly thrilled when I found out that this game only has the one map, regardless of how big it may be, but I am still looking forward to this a lot.

September (we hope) can't come soon enough. I just hope that while we outside of Russia are waiting, that they are working on the expansion and it isn't far behind when we finally get this released to us.

Well...that's standard for rpg's. For example might and magic games only have one set game world...not changing maps like in strategy games.

It does look like the translation is poor. Still the game looks fun.

Man... I should probably look into the Russian-English translation business... I could make a killing doing quality localization.

New videos i saw showed good english in the parts i read... plus, localization is always among the last things to be done, so one demo six month before release ain't all that telling.

English still needs a bit of work.

Can't read most of the text in that trailer, but at 0:51 I can clearly read "You put your hands on the altar and closed the eyes. Powers, concealed in the cold stone, have woken up and you felt your magic skills are increasing."

That looks good enough to have already been localized, but contains enough errors to constantly annoy me.

English demo is out too.
Check this topic for links to downloads.

BTW - cheats working in demo (at least in PL version), so press SHIFT + ` and type (holding shift) MAGICBOOK - give all spells in book with you normally don't see in demo, such like summon phoenix, armageddon or book of evil (dead? :devil:).
Check cheats when you finish normal playing.

Thanks Avonu, but the download is awfully slow.

EDIT: It seems to be getting faster, though, and then slows down again.

But I'm really excited about this. Hope the hype is justified.

EDIT #2: Download from here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_32652.shtml I chose the 1000Mbit/s source and the download will take only about 13 minutes for me.

I once downloaded something with 700+ Kilobytes per second (not bits!), which is around 5.6+ mbps :P
No matter how powerful one becomes, there is always someone stronger. That's why I'm in a constant pursuit of power, so I can be prepared when an enemy tries to take advantage of me.

Tried the Demo... game seems nice, but as Gamespy pointed out, it needs a damn auto-resolve button... or at least faster leveling up... it's just no fun if you already get bored with fighting while you haven't even reached lvl 4...

Hope the game sells well, because it's a great first try...

Well, if you level up slow, don't be a coward and fight stronger monsters. Or finish quests will fill the bar up nicely, you also have a skill that gives you a nice 10% bonus (and 15% and 20% if you upgrade more). Also, defeating heroes gives the XP bar quite a boost. So i don't find it a problem at all. And if you level up really fast, it's not fun either because you get overpowered really soon.

Dude, i was left with no monsters to fight and i still didn't get to lvl 4... and the fights lasted too long for the abilities they had and the XP gain... just make it seem too slow...

And i'm more in favour of "balancing for faster lvl-up" myself... just give less runes each time.

Then again maybe

Precisely... the time where if you had 2 worth playing games a year so they had to make sure you had to invest more time in the game... now it's more like 2 a month, and that with 90% of games being crap...
