I like the hat he is wearing which im sure is a homage to Link.

It is Zelda and ico inspired, this from the creator Gallat...

Looks real nice at such a early stage. It's very charming, has a very appealing ambiance, style and whimsical appeal, and reminds me of “The Secret of Nimh,” & the “The Dark Crystal,”.

It is about 1K off of it's goal with hours left. It's at indiegogo, instead of Kickstarter. If it had been at kickstarter to begin with I believe it would have met it's mark and tripled it by now...

I want this to see the light of day, really impressive, and the creator Gallat has a very nice eye for style and charm...

TheOneWhoIsTornApart4033d ago

Yea I think it looks incredible. Graphics and art look beautiful and we get to play as a mouse so im in.

phntom4033d ago

What does this have anything in common with Dark Souls? Just because the game have a stamina system? Seriously...

Jamiex664033d ago

The actual creator said that was his inspiration...

I can definitely see the comparison, just in terms of how the enemies "spawn," and in the desolate feeling the surrounding world conveys. Beyond that I don't see much else. The combat definitely seems much more simplistic than Demon's Souls/Dark Souls--I.E. Zelda.

Still, it looks interesting. The fact that your only option as a character is to play as a mouse, is a slight turn off. I guess I've just gotten spoiled with deeper RPGs, especially Dark Souls, where you can customize your character's look via different types of armor. I don't see that being an option here. Although, I am also aware that not EVERY game needs to mimic another exactly, even if it is inspired by such. I will have to follow this title and see where it winds up.

Oh god, that HUD is making me puke blood.
Other than that though.. looks kinda neat..

this game will better with a little imagination. They should include boss battle like snakes, scorpions, owls and boss battle should be more like Dragon Dogma.

I put this on my list of games I might buy long ago, but never picked it up. It looks like a fun fantasy action RPG game with mice. Maybe if I find the time I might pick it up.

the description is playing it liberally with the description of action rpg. It's more along the lines of a stealth rpg if I remember yahtzee's review. You never go head to head in a battle much with them as the enemies are big and can hurt you too much. You just stealth around from place to place and status effect them like sleep. You'll get a good idea of the game if you watch the gameplay video attatched here. Which is why I never bought it.

Relientk771293d ago

Thanks for the insight on the game

xer01293d ago

This looks like a lot of fun. Looking forward to playing it :)

Toiletsteak1293d ago

Same here. I've had it on my Steam wishlist for years now but I just haven't got around to buying it even though it hits the sale often

XtraTrstrL1294d ago

I feel like this was inspired by 'The Secret of NIMH'.

Silly Mammo1293d ago

It definitely took inspiration from the Redwall book series.

mkis0071293d ago (Edited 1293d ago )

You are right .

Terry_B1293d ago (Edited 1293d ago )

Umm yeah..it is like that since it was released 2 years ago on PC. I bought the PC version for 7 bucks a while ago

Silly Mammo1293d ago

I just finished the game. It's a charming stealth game. A little bit rough around the edges, but nothing game breaking. I was impressed with the extensive lore of this indie title. Hope there will be a sequel.
