Hardcore Gamer: "Everyone has a nostalgia for different types of games. There are those who love Mario platformers, and those who adore Contra side scrollers, but the team at Snowcastle Games have a deep and profound love for Role Playing Games. With the re-launch of their Kickstarter campaign, the Norwegian studio is looking to bring back traditional turn based role playing, but with a twist. We were able to talk with Bendik Stang, Co-founder and Game Director at Snowcastle, during GDC last week, to find out more about their upcoming fantasy world."

Thought you were going to be doing nothing but opening presents, eating food and downing drink on this special day? Think again because the weekly Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is back once more and between the 25th-31st December 2018, there are a whole ton of Xbox One and Xbox 360 discounts to get to grips with. Want to check out all the details?"
ThisGenGaming says: "If there’s one word to describe Earthlock, it’d have to be “charming”. The characters are likeable, the world is well designed and there are plenty of interesting things to do or discover. I would’ve liked to see the main story unfold in more depth and perhaps to have more interactions between the party members. It also could’ve used some additional endgame content and more incentive to power up your characters as they’re easily maxed out, but it does make for a pretty dense adventure and certainly one I would recommend to fans of the genre. Just be sure to turn up the volume, as the soundtrack alone is definitely worth your while!"
Any of you play the original version AND the new one? I'm kinda curious if it improved a lot 😂

However, with all the thrilling story and neat RPG elements that it had within, the developers simply do not think it was good enough, deciding to add to the game, fixing any issues in the process. Enter Earthlock - without the Festival of Magic tag!"
This game has the makings for a great RPG. I love the art style.
