Ugh, who writes these texts? The video opens with a "Want to explore the mysteries of the Lost Temple?".... No? I mean, I don't even know what that is yet.
"Choose from eight classes!"... Oh yeah? Never seen such a crazy system before.
"Gather armor and you won't be afraid of the monsters!" - dude, I'm already not afraid. I just don't care after graciously spending 2 minutes watching your video. You had a chance to get a customer, but your inane text made me want to go for a siesta.

Sooo, it is probably one-man project, from a guy who works on 3 different (?) Elmarion games at the same time. It does not sound very promising, reminds me Ellian games, or whatever this shit was called.

"Each hero has 10 unique skills... And go to fight skeletons."
I does sound like it was written by a foreigner, but read by a native.
Much like PP GUN:

This is out now on Early Access.



There's also a demo.

It was really not apparent from last year's description but EA announcement says dungeons are randomly generated. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1476230/view/2945905042765076123

At this stage, the game contains the entire main storyline (and all the locations necessary for this - 20 locations!). Each location is randomly generated every time! Each location has unique monsters that are also randomly generated. Some locations have bosses that will reward you with unique items!
The game also has a tutorial. I highly recommend to complete it (it takes 5 minutes). It demonstrates some basic mechanics, knowing which, it will be much more interesting to play!

What's planned for full release?
More details!
More side quests are planned.
More bosses.
More unique items.
More achievements.
Additional locations (not on the main line).
Perhaps the final version will have a step-by-step mode.
Improving balance (I think the community will help improve balance!)
Translations into some other languages.

Some video:

knight, ranger or... one of various mage flavors?
I guess its back to that 10 unique skills thing. Instead of having 1 mage class and different schools to pursue, you get 1:1 mapping
As such char progression seem simplistic, some attribute points and improve skill of choice.
Cant say I like what im seeing in here.

enemy count checks out mm series inspiration. Too bad I cant say the same about lvling up and spending points

Shocking that no one experiments with a different color palette nowadays. Perihelion?

the "everything is colorful" thing which started with WoW plagues art direction to this day

Looks like another soulless Unity asset flip.
