Quoting: The_AquabatI'm very tempted to buy this. I just need to know how long it is. Desperados III and Shadow Tactics are just superb games.
"Instead of a revolutionary sequel, you get a few extra levels similar to the larger maps from the main game. It's more of the same, but that's a good thing. Overall the expansion takes about six to eight hours to complete and is a nice slice of what Shadow Tactics is known for."

Desperados III was a really good game, but Shadow Tactics had better atmosphere and story imo. I’ll be getting this one!

The dev has a blog post mentioning that the expansion will be PC exclusive. Then goes on to explain that this includes Windows and Linux. Should make a few people happy. 
Less good is that it apparently is still 32 bit.

Just picked it up, though I'll have to wait until I have something other than a (work-provided) Macbook to play it on...
