Heart of Eternity

OK. I have both games on disk. Now I am having some trouble activating the games and a guy from ND is helping me. Will report as soon as I get one of the title running on my computer.
I did check some of the folders and found an interesting thing. There is an English version of intro video with subtitles. Guess they must have some English material after all.
Here you go if you are interested.

OK, here is my report

I got both games working with official keys on my laptop. As I have only two time activation keys I can not afford to install this game to my prime computer at the moment. As a result the games play a bit choppy on my laptop at high settings.

First thing I tried Beltion. I was poking around configuration files in Beltion directory and to my surprise I was able to change a couple of strings to English and here you go...

There is actually an English demo build within the game itself. It looks like everything is in English except for the voiceovers which are still Russian. Also the demo starts in a different place than the complete game, in some sort of port city.
Here is the video from demo (frame rate is poor as I am running this on my not so good laptop)

And now for the whole game. Another surprise. I changed a couple of strings in cfg file and the result is:
All options for in game settings are translated, intro has subtitles, the beginning of the game is in English, except for the quest logs.
Here is the video of playing complete Russian version with English language enabled through cfg changes (cannot load more than 5 minutes long video)

As it seems the developer did quite a lot of work for international release and some things must prevent them to complete the translation (no publisher, no founds, no interest,... who knows). It is a pity since the game looks and plays like a decent Gothic clone.
Will report on Heart of Eternity later this month.

Boy Beltion looks pretty good. Do you have any combat vids? What are your impressions of the gameplay? Above all thanks for the report!

Unfortunately I do not have spare time to play Beltion a bit more at the moment as I have other RPGs to finish and other work.
All I can say is that it plays like a mediocre Gothic clone. Combat is simplistic click fest but you do have an option to block. It is an action RPG no doubt but I can not say much about story and quests at the moment. Quests notes are not translated so it will be hard to understand anyway.:-/ There seems to be cities as you can see in the demo video above and quite a lot of quests and talking.

Here are two more videos from the beginning of the game. Some sort of an old ruins with zombies and skeletons. The first quest is to find some important stones

Hope this gets an English release it looks very promising, i always seem to enjoy the smaller studio releases moreso then the hold your hand American releases we see all too often these days.
