I'm so excited.  Larry Laffer back in the saddle again!  Too bad I have to wait until I get home from work to play it tomorrow.  Wait...  I feel sickness coming on...  nah, better not.

I am awaiting awesome spoiler free review of this game from you

[alanschu]

Isn't it a remake of Lounge Lizards?

[Apatia]

Isn't it a remake of Lounge Lizards?

 

It is but with lots of new stuff (new characters, puzzles, locations...)

[ShadySands]

Yeah, I'm already slightly lost as some of the few things I remember from the first game have been changed a bit... and the fact that I suck at these types of games. Having fun so far though

I am also keen to try this game, it will just be a nostalgic sojourn for me. I won't expect much but some mild  entertainment

[IndiraLightfoot]

A Kickstarter I backed earlier this year is out. I'm downloading it on Steam right now!

 

What am I on about? Well, it's Legends of Dawn - an open action CRPG with a creative spellcrafting system and something of a NWN2-look about it.

Keep us updated around your view on this game, I am interested

I downloaded it last night, but only had time to start a new game and attempt to cross the road...

Alright, BruceVC and others - first impressions of Legends of Dawn after some hour into the game:

-The game feels absolutely vast. I'm the nosy kind of player that rummages through everything, and I've barely left the starting village.

-It's crammed with crafting components and runes - especially the runes used to unlock "code-locked" chests is a fun feature.

-Making your own spells is fab. I made a "toxic missile" early on that damages opponents with disease and drain their damage power, sort of a dirty missile, and I have killed my first spider with it.

-The very few fights I've been have been intense and rather close combat. I'm trying to make a bow build, but it seems it's hard to use bows far off. In a way, that's a god thing, coz in Skyrim, you snuck and shot critters from afar.

-I like that it's not a stress-fest action RPG like Diablo 3, but more of a nice pastime kind of CRPG.

-I stumbled into a meticulously trapped place where I met my untimely demise to a ten ton cleaver.

-There are no autosaves, so I lost some twenty minutes because I didn't save. The beginning is so calm, so when you finally find action, it easily overwhelms you.

-The music and feel is moody and mellow at the same time.

-I'm playing a thief, and although I didn't think I was seen stealing, two merchant town factions hate me already.

-There are some decent VO and the tone fits the shady role I'm playing pretty well.

-I picked an elf and got to pick from hairstyles from hell. Think Mad Max and elves!

-It's a game that so far feels a bit like Divine Divinity, but with a less usable environment, and like Kingdoms of Amalur minus the gargantuan truckload of story that game with that game. But this game seems to be random-seed generated, maps and critters and all, so it's still pretty unique. Graphically, it's no Skyrim, but rather old - it can't even beat NWN2, and that's like six years old now, no? Having said that, I still like what they've done.

-And beware, running off a cliff is a bad idea. I fell and died with a scream and a thud.

-Already the start I think merits the amount of money they ask for now on Steam. It's 20 % off, so that's like 15 euros.

Wow, good information. Thanks Indira for all the details

[BruceVC]

Oh I just realized that I helped fund this game so I should be able to get it for free

[Keyrock]

Legends of Dawn is a game that has all the features and components in place, but zero polish, none, zip, nada.  The game plays like a beta (an early one at that) rather than a finished game.  You can also tell it's made by an inexperienced team by a lot of the design choices.  There are some cool things in the game but they're not necessarily implemented particularly well.  Very little is explained, a few of the tooltips are actually helpful but many are pretty much useless.  It's a game that hands you a bunch of stuff and says "figure it out", which is fine for me but will surely be a turn off for many people.  The game, in many ways, plays like something at least a decade old, with some of the good and definitely much of the bad that comes with that.  There's a bunch of neat ideas in there, but a lot of the implementation could have been much better.  This is a cake that definitely needed to sit several more months in the oven.  Still, it's got a weird clunky charm to it and I'm looking forward to playing it some more when I get home.

^^^^^

 

A lot of that is how I would describe Pandora - Purge of Pride.

[Freddo]

Not a game, but I'm extremely fond of the album Motif which was made thanks to the Matthew Schoening's Fourth Electric Cello Album! kickstarter. I think it's quite excellent and it's probably the album I've listened to the most in the past year.

[samm]

I just remembered one of my first kickstarted games: it's called Loc, funded in Feb 2012, and it's a 3D puzzle game. It was a first for the guys working on it, and turned out pretty good (even though it's clearly not perfect, but hey...) Check it out here http://birnamwoodgames.com/loc.php

Keyrock: It turns out you were right!

I was far too optimistic on this game, perhaps because I backed it on Kickstarter, which I now regret. It is bordering on terrible, which is a sad fact indeed. Kingdoms of Amalur is a million times better, and that says it all, I reckon. I gave it several shots after the patches, but now I have uninstalled it and I will never touch the game again, not even with a stick wearing RPG-rose-tinted glasses.

Race the Sun v1.0 is now out.

 

I'm not an expert on infinite runners, but I've enjoyed it so far.

Thanks for the tip, it's really fun to play (if you like this kind of games)

[Mamoulian War]

OK, I think this thread needs a little bit of digging out of the grave and blow of the dirt and settled dust.

 

So, except the amazing Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin, Dead State and Shadowrun: Dragonfall, what are the other kickstarter games, that were released after august 2013 and requires our full attention?

[ShadySands]

I think you listed all the ones I've played

 

Jagged Alliance Flashback came out but I didn't hear anything about it here nor have I played it

JA:Flashback is weird.  I can't get into it.  I have it, and I backed it, and I've tried to start a new game a few times.
