Xenus 2: White Gold - Available in US Via Beamdog
Xenus 2: White Gold - Available in US Via Beamdog
March 19th, 2011, 02:51
I got an email from the digital download company BeamDog today about their weekend sale, and it ends up they are featuring Xenus 2 for $4.99!
So being a big fan of Boiling Point … I bought it without a second thought!
The game works by being completely downloaded 'intact' and launched through their client - so I have no idea about access to game files for modding, etc …
Just wanted to let folks know!

I didn't have much interest in White Gold until now, but I have to at least give it a try at that price.
Never heard of this BeamDog though. Are they new? Do you know what kind of DRM they use?

The downloads self-install like Steam as well.

The game is loaded into the Beamdog\games directory, but otherwise looks intact. I tested to see if I could launch the game from the executable - but after playing for a while last night realized that I still had the client open … arrgh. Will check again later today.
Oh - and the translations are just plain awful. Not sure what version this is, but the opening logos have Russian, including an ad for Russian Maxim magazine with scantily clad women …
