Diggles: The Myth of Fenris Turned 23 This Year
As for what exactly is being given away here, Diggles: The Myth of Fenris (also known as Wiggles in Europe) is a genre hybrid that combines elements of a colony-building strategy and a dungeon crawler with cinematic storytelling in a fantasy setting. Developed by German studio SpieleEtwicklungsKombinat (SEK), Diggles debuted on the Old Continent in September 2021 before making its way to North America in March of the following year. However, the version that GOG is giving away isn’t 23 years old, as it includes patches that ensure it will run on modern hardware.
Diggles tasks players with running a dwarf clan, which involves everything from managing resources and crafting tools to training warriors and exploring an intricate system of tunnels full of dangers and treasure alike. The gameplay is all about finding a balance between colony expansion and keeping one’s minions alive and happy. The titular Diggles aren’t just workers, but beings with their own skills, needs, and moods in need of managing. While primarily designed as a standalone strategy game, Diggles: The Myth of Fenris also includes exploration segments featuring all sorts of challenges, like dangerous creatures and puzzles.
The 2001 classic could hence appeal to people who like micromanagement and gameplay variety. The game originally launched to mixed reviews, with critics praising its charm, setting, and unique mixture of various genre elements but criticizing its unintuitive interface and technical issues, such as pathfinding bugs. 23 years later, the modernized version of Diggles: The Myth of Fenris boasts “Very Positive” user reviews on Steam, based on over 500 player impressions. If GOG’s track record is any indication, CD Projekt’s PC storefront is likely to give away at least a few more classic games before the end of 2024.
