New RPG 'Lichdom' to be most influenced by Borderlands and Dark Souls

Lichdom is a new first-person RPG that is being developed by Xaviant. The trailer for the new title can be viewed on this page, and it showcases some excellent visuals with an emphasis on magic. What Xaviant is trying to do to help separate Lichdom from other titles will be that emphasis on magic and specifically, crafting. The crafting of spells will look to be a very deep and engaging exercise. Spell Cores, as they will be called, will be in minimal abundance, but these powers will grow and allow new spells to be uniquely crafted.

so a 1st person fantasy theme ?? soooooooooo skyrim then

GarrusVakarian3854d ago

Not necessarily, Skyrim is more "gritty medieval" fantasy rather than high fantasy. This looks more on the "high fantasy" side.

stavrami3854d ago

look don't get me wrong i would play this as soon as i hear rpg my preorder is in there and while i agree there are differences in skyrim to what this looks like as u said with the themes but cmon lets call it what it is (borderlands/darksouls) or (skyrim)

1st person fantasy =/= skyrim = ignorance

stavrami3854d ago

so this is like dark souls then is it midnyrain=sheep

MidnytRain3854d ago (Edited 3854d ago )

For starters, there's apparently no melee combat whatsoever... Which makes it nothing like DS, and very different from Skyrim. This game looks more magic-y action than RPG. He's pretty much just talking about enemy AI when comparing it to BL and DS.

AnotherProGamer3854d ago

Just because its a 1st person fantasy game doesn't its skyrim. Ultima Underworld was a 1st person fantasy game before Elder Scrolls

shahab913854d ago

Wow. This game will be great. I think it's a pc exclusive. Or am I wrong?

RuleNumber53854d ago

Right now it's a PC exclusive, but sounds like from the interview we had with them that they really want it to come to next-gen.

shahab913854d ago

Thank you for the info bro =) +1

DanielGearSolid3854d ago

Just not my thing...

Feels restricted, and i like seeing the character, especially if its customizable

Definitely keeping an eye on this, absolutely loving how many devs are becoming inspired by Dark Souls

What is Lichdom Battlemage? | TwoDashStash

Have you ever gotten so mad at someone who you just…want to light them on fire? Do you enjoy being all-powerful? How about wearing the most impractical clothes for whatever situation you happen to find yourself in? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you may secretly be a mage. One the one hand, you are probably the most bad-ass thing that ever walked the planet. On the other, video games just never seem to do you justice. All you see are flimsy excuses for mages that are constantly out of mana, waiting for cooldowns and being one-shot by goblins. It’s frustrating, but fear not. Finally there comes a game that captures the essence of what it means to be a true mage. This game is called Lichdom: Battlemage.

PAX East – Lichdom: Battlemage Hands-On Impressions | Twinfinite

Twinfinite writes, "Raw power feels great, and that’s exactly what you get in Lichdom. Right away, you’ll be receiving three primary elements: fire, ice, and corruption (there will be nine in total). Any combination of the three results in different ways to dispatch your enemies. You can shoot your spells forward, cast a large area-of-effect attack on any spot in front of you, or raise a magic shield with each corresponding abilities to block or parry enemy attacks."

Some solid games coming down the pipeline!

MidnytRain3759d ago

Really liking how The New Order is looking.

nutcase133759d ago

After the disaster that was Colonial Marines, I will never buy an aliens game again...

dcj05243759d ago

Its ALIEN though. Singular.

BABY-JEDI3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

Don't be surprised (if the game is successful ) they release an Aliens game next LoL

Wikkid6663759d ago

An announcement for RB6 would be great! It's been way too long.

quaneylfc3759d ago

is sunset overdrive even an fps?

Wikkid6663759d ago

Nope... Not a shooter, nor is it first person.

Gabenbrah3759d ago

Its a shooter, we saw guns in the trailer and I'm going to guess its a FPS

Utalkin2me3759d ago

So were going by assumptions now? Nothing has really been said or shown of Sunset Overdrive. Just cause it showed guns doesn't mean it's a FPS.

djplonker3759d ago (Edited 3759d ago )

I am only going to get two of those (destiny & alien) I will not buy an xbone ever and I am not buying titanfall because it is Ea and they have killed battlefield and took ms greed money to make it a last minute console exclusive I could get the obviously better pc version but I am voting with my wallet!

Ladys and gentlemen please give a warm round of applause for Ea's greed with the titanfall ce wieghing in at £250 ($410) it is gamings biggest rip-off merchants EA!

Gabenbrah3759d ago

18 inch statue... That'll be worth thousands in months... No need for the last paragraph, I can tell your still sour from Titanfall exclusivity, enjoy missing out on that master piece.

GentlemenRUs3759d ago

Okay now you are just trolling... Stop...

Utalkin2me3759d ago

Maybe he is going to play Titanfall on the PC? It's not exclusive to Xbox1 ya know.
