Black Forest Games introduced today the Voice of Ravensdale, best known as Commander Shepard: Mark Meer.
Dealspwn writes: "This "fuel fantasy" cooperative shooter promises to give us a fresh new take on classic sidescrolling gameplay, delivering deep dynamic multiplayer, strong singleplayer and a radical selection of insane weapons and jetpacks alongside knights and orcs. To learn more, I caught up with Black Forest Games and grilled them extensively about the project - and why it deserves your money.
If the idea of "Metal Slug meets Left 4 Dead meets a nuclear pinball machine" in a dieselpunk fantasy setting (featuring a gun that fires flaming beach balls) gets you hot under the collar, your mind is about to be thoroughly blown. With a fortnight left on the clock, it's time to see what this raucously inventive proposition is all about."
Black Forest Games, an independent studio from Offenburg - Germany, have already made a competent contribution to the indie scene and it looks as if their second offering will be just as inventive, maybe even half-crazy. Project Ravensdale, or Ravensdale as it will eventually be known, is Black Forest's answer to cooperative, side-scrolling, monster-mashing mayhem. You'll play as one of four knights who've been tasked with clearing out various towns of an orcish/goblin invasion. Each of the knights sports a "gas" powered suit of armor and by working together they can initiate powerful special attacks to put entire groups of orcs down for good.
