I kinda like the artstyle, however, the pixels sizes are all wrong

 

[Dark Souls II]

Not enough androgynous niggers with mohawks, 0/10

 

[luj1]

Looks a little childlike but the combat might be good

 

[Jaesun]

The portrait art is really bad. Fix that (at some point). The rest looks really good. Added to my Wishlist. Good luck.

 

[kangaxx]

Lead a diverse party of adventurers eh?

Is it releasing on Early Access in Q4 2024, or is that the final release date? I assume the former.

This might be the developer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharif-gaines-7796a119

The art feels off, not my color pallette. If the game is good am willing to put up with it. Curious if it is going to be like battle bros or if there will be some main story line to follow.

Very weird. It says it's in EA but you can't actually buy the game.
Looks interesting though, will keep an eye on it. Looks like Low Magic Age but with more effort.

Very weird. It says it's in EA but you can't actually buy the game.

There's plenty of unreleased Steam games with early access sticker.

For example:

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Lead a diverse party of adventurers eh?

Diversity in RPGs means having a party with a fighter, a magic-user, a cleric, and a thief.

What is the stat system like?

Just looks cheap

Reminds me of that game "Leman".

As you travel...
As they come...
As they approach...

Nothing wrong with using such phrasing in a DM style narration text, but this looks a wee bit overwrought. A single paragraph should suffice for a random run-in with goblins, unless it's a major encounter.

 

[Serus]

Diversity in RPGs means having a party with a fighter, a magic-user, a cleric, and a thief.

That was then. Now it means half of the party has to be niggers and/or danger hair. Professions (a fascist and patriarchal concept for sure) are irrelevant.
Or so i heard.


This game looks weird. The are style is somehow off. Still, worth checking - in a year or two.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Took the demo for a very quick spin. Managed to kill some goblins and wolves, before I took too hard mission against cultists and got TPK'd.
Game very much takes inspiration from Battle Brothers, with most notable differences being combat using 2-action system and (too small) pixel graphics.
There seems to be some focus on camping mechanics, but I didn't play it enough this time to explore that further.
I really wish it was possible to zoom overland map.

For some reason audio didn't work on demo.

This almost looks like games I used to play back on Commodore 64 (yes I am that old).

Spoiler

And that is not a compliment. I no longer want to play games with such a weak graphics unless they are superior in some way to everything else like KotC was at its time

 

[0sacred]

The only thing that looked promising to me about Steam Next. Will keep an eye on it.

P.S. never cared for Battle Brothers so I'm unburdened by what has been.

First impression, holy shit I think those are the worst portraits I’ve ever seen. Even worse than the ones owlcat made in pathfinder, except lower quality and just as gay. Also, “The Adventurers”, what were you thinking? That is far and away the most generic name I’ve ever heard in my life. Might as well just call it “Generic RPG #37”. Based on that alone, I decided not to watch the video.

That's good news. I thought someone was forcing you to read the thread and watch the video against your will.

Are you safe no?

It’s a forum? You can’t honestly like the portraits, or think the name is a good one? Hopefully not, for your sake.
