Wikipedia can tell you "Gorky 17 is a 1999 Polish game", you need locals to explain why it had 3 Russian translations, each with different politics lol

A NATO team was sent to investigate and disappeared. Now it's your turn to face the horrors there!
unlabelledView post →I would like a long form interview or perhaps oral history about the decision chain that led to the release and rebranding of 1999 tactical RPG "Gorky 17" as "Odium", which required not only a pronunciation guide but also a definition on the cover of the box.
unlabelledView post →RIP to Publisher of Gorky 17, Monolith Productions. A very flawed and weird turn-based game that deserves some attention. Developed by Metropolis, which eventually became CD Projekt.
unlabelledView post →Just discovered this thing released as the true arbiter of the best RPGs ever made. Final Fantasy? What's that? Earthbound? Who Cares. Pokemon? Not on the best RPGs. What IS included in the best RPGs is the real actual video game I am not making up named GORKY 17

unlabelledView post →Started replaying Final Fantasy Tactics, since I've been out of creative juice for a bit. And the game is still so damn good! This and Gorky-17 were one of my first turn-based grid-based games, and it's nice to see them pass the test of time - even if they aren't the most complex as of now.
unlabelledView post →Picked up Gorky 17 since it's on sale through Steam. Played for a little bit, it's neat so far. Resource management is more important than I expected, it does feel like a tactical RPG survival horror game so far.
