Gamera Interactive, who I believe are not only the Guardian of the Universe but also the Protector of Children, have released Alaloth: Champions of the Four Kingdoms on Steam. You can buy it for 10% off it's regular price of $34.99 via it's steam page right now. There's also some backer based DLC that you can also pick up. What is it? Apparently it's an isometric actiony souls-like RPG where you save the world. Which is fine, I guess? I don't know. So, here's a trailer:

​

• A huge Single Player Campaign, feauring hours and hours of emerging contents
• Play as human, a dwarf, an elf or a orc. NPC react to this choice with different dialogues and attitude
• 12 memorable companions with their own backstories, ready to join or fight you during your journey
• Local Cooperative Mode up to 3 players, working online through Remote Play and no extra copies needed
• Competitive Mode to play against other champions
• A unique, hardcore combat system, combining iso-view with skill-based action
• A world-centered game: live the life of great warrior in an ever changing world reacting to your actions
• Customize your character by choosing different Ways of Power, classes and skills
• A huge world to explore, crafting, and ton of content to unlock
• 500+ NPC, 250+ quests, 280+ locations to explore, 1200+ items
• A ton of amazing boss fights against dragons, demons and other giant monsters

They seem pretty happy with that combat system. Not quite sure hardcore isometric skill-based action sounds like my cup of tea. Everything else sounds decent, but it does sound like there's a whole lot of that combat.

Thanks, Sukhāvatī!

Translation:

Mind numbing busy work for people who want complete escapism and fill their time with brain fully off

It should be mentioned: Avellone-sama worked on game, he wrote the game's world. And devs stanted for him after he was found guilty for several brutal rapes

I just wish the game had another name. It should be called something more cool than "Alaloth".

Fits perfectly. Bland, shitty name for a bland ass looking game.

I'm currently playing it. I will be able to check out the 1.0 release this weekend. I booted it up last night for a quick peek, but there didn't seem to be much change. This game is a mixed bag suffering from console-centric design and feature creep that gives it an identity crisis. There are some really good fundamentals though. I'll probably write a mini-review for this before the year is over.

It's not. The player is guaranteed to hit the level cap by the time they complete even 1/3 of the content. All the crafting is very easily ignored. I take issue with a lot of the design in this game, but busy-work isn't among them. The game is primarily an action experience bordering arcade.
