Tags: Eschalon: Book IThere is a new indie game in development, called Eschalon: Book I. Apparently, it's the first part of an epic trilogy, aimed to uncover the mystery of who - or what - you are". Hopefully, not a child of Bhaal this time.
Basilisk Games is very pleased to announce our first title Eschalon: Book I, the start of an epic trilogy of computer RPGs created in the spirit of the great role-playing games of the past. Eschalon: Book I will take you across massive outdoor environments and deep into dozens of sprawling dungeons as you seek to uncover the mystery of who - or what - you are.
Hundreds of items and dozens creatures to discover. A combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies.
An non-linear storyline that can be played at your pace. As you struggle to uncover the secrets of your past, you must decide where to go and who to trust. The game world is yours to discover- just be careful not to get yourself in too deep, too soon!
Unlimited character development style...Choose from 25 unique skills to make the character you want and 8 base attributes that affect your character's every action throughout the game.
A turn-based yet fluid combat system keeps the action feeling near real-time. Strategy is key in Eschalon- careful skill management, weapon choice and magic usage will win your fights, not rapid button clicking. We are very pleased to say this is not another "action RPG".
An epic adventure that you face alone...a single-player RPG carefully designed to feel like the great RPGs of the past such as Ultima®, Might & Magic®, and Wizardry®.
...
Basilisk Games is an independent game developer based out of Indianapolis, Indiana. Our mission is to produce compelling old-school computer role-playing games for gamers who still remember what great computer RPGs used to be about...
Single player. Turn based. Stat heavy. Story driven.
Ever played the Ultima series? Might & Magic? Wizardry? Fallout?
If so, you get the idea of the types of games we're working on.There are no screenshots to confirm or deny those claims, but since most of you have already played the Ultima, M&M, Wizardry, and Fallout games, you got the idea.
