They got a free demo on steam.

No RGP elements yet but they're promising to add them, the combat is really raw, but the story looks legit. Some of the best writing I've seen in a game.

And mercifully looks like it won't have any SJW bullshit.

Interesting. Looks a lot like Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Actual Tsarist Russian history is so interesting. I wish they made their game about that instead.

That death totem thing caught me off guard. Very creepy looking.

 

[Obsequious Approbation]

Hmm, was the combat system inspired by Sea Dogs? Looks awfully similar.

They did a pretty bad job at advertising the campaign, no way it's going to get funded.

That's what you're most worried about?

Plus the main KS video is terrible. Just some CGI intro.
I would have closed the thing immediately if OP didn't say there was a demo - and there is indeed actual gameplay shown further down the KS page.

The actual gameplay doesn't seem to be bad (for such an early stage of development).

Was the Zelda sword more than a diversion?

 

[Infinitron]

smh at the lazy OP

Infinitron

In Russian, they advertise it as Action-RPG. Move to the according subforum?

I mean, as long as Twitcher games are there I don't see why this game should not.

"I fucking knew it!"

Because using f-bombs is such an appropriate expression for an Imperial officer in 19th century Russia.

Seriously? That's what's important to you? Looks like yet another boring game about yet another boring white guy. With brown hair! Yawn...

Played the demo, the story is very promising and was actually great. Plays janky as fuck, but lots of potential. Demo had branching choices with actual consequences, no other RPG elements though. The placeholder combat was terrible. Banter between characters was top tier.
