Horizon's Gate - open world seafaring tactical RPG from Voidspire Tactics dev

[HoboForEternity]

It's literally storm of zehir + deadfire + divinity original sin like combat + ff tactics like class system.

Looks even better than voidspire + alvora.

I'm counting down the days at this point. 11 more classes is pretty wild.

To be fair it doesn't have Storm of Zehir's cool "choose which party member talks" system. I haven't played Deadfire so I can't confirm the comparison. I do think it's turned out even better than Voidspire & Alvora though.

Any more videos?

One of my playtesters made a fan trailer that shows a bit more content.

By the way, I've finally got the press build ready. If anyone at the Codex would like to do a review, just send an email to radcodex at gmail . com and I'll send out a review copy. (Is there a better place to post this? Should I be emailing this to someone?)

I'd do a review, but not right now. And by not right now I mean most probably something like June-July, if nobody else beats me to it. So I have no claim for the press build - I'll buy a "proper" copy anyway.

Sharpshooters still broken?

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Nah, I nerfed Bow range and added a drawback to Crossbow 'Quick Hands' shenanigans. They're still pretty dang good though.

SOON. Do you know when exactly the game is going up for purchase Eldiran? Midnight release hype?

 

[Eldiran]

VERY SOON. I'm only slightly panicking.

The release will be around 1:00 PM EST. There's funny rules about how soon after announcing you can release on Steam, so I couldn't do midnight.

Buying now. Very excited to play a little bit later today! Congratulations on the release Eldiran! Hope it gets the notice and appreciation it surely deserves.

Eldiran, I thoroughly enjoy the fact you've named the application file as "BoatTactics."

It's not procedurally generated.

So far, so good. I like addition of swaping team positon before combat and fame system. On other hand, I dont think most of classes should be locked by training-gate. Kinda feel like rushing to find every affordable trainer.

 

[Eldiran]

Thanks guys! Release went smoothly. (So glad not to have to mess with Greenlight this time!) I hope you all enjoy the game!

Definitely. This was the title screen for most of development after all.

Glad you like the new stuff. And yeah, the training system does sort of encourage rushing. It's not perfect, but it doesn't get in the way too much, and it does make exploring feel rewarding.

This thread made me want to check out Voidspire, which I kept hearing about but never got around to looking into. But since this is out and I prefer the setting, I'll skip to it. Can't wait to play.

You won't miss anything except a cursory introduction to the setting. If you like Horizon's Gate, definitely go back and try Voidspire Tactics. Excellent game. By then, you'll most likely be craving more eventually, in which case Alvora - while missing a few elements from both Voidspire and Alvora that I love - is still a great lot of fun.

 

[HoboForEternity]

i think the only problem going back is you will miss the aawesome new classes they added in the sequels

 

[Machocruz]

Since from what I can tell, there are not many games that nail the combination of exploration and tactical combat like these games reportedly do, I'm sure I'll want more even if Voidspire is more 'primitive'.

Voidspire is great. Highly recommend it if you like exploration and tactical combat.

Where's the Warpblade and Shiftcloak trainer? I'm pretty sure one of them is inside Tsavor. There's a trainer's house surrounded by poles. I assumed you need to warp/teleport into it. Where's the other one?
