This newspost brought to you by Andhaira. "It's a zelda type which turned me off at first, but there are 5 classes and graphics are really charming," he said. Well, okay. Judge for yourself.

Delver's Drop is a 2D Action RPG with fluid physics-based movement, snappy combat, shifting dungeons, and a rogue's gallery of individually leveled character classes. With an emphasis on mystery and dynamic gameplay experiences, the game features randomization for infinite replay, enigmatic puzzle permutations to unravel, multiple narrative paths, customizable character growth, and layers of secrets to unearth.

Delver’s Drop has a cast of playable characters that create variety and open up different gameplay styles and tactics. Movement and combat are both fast and responsive, a blend of intense arcade action with thoughtful planning and strategy. Dungeon and items are randomized to create scenarios similar to a Roguelike. The game also features a form of permadeath, but players are able to recover some progress and items, and retain abilities and experience points.

Features
  • Immense & Unpredictable Dungeon Dive — 8 zones of castle dungeons with 4 sub-levels to explore. Levels will be combined from masterfully designed hand-crafted rooms and components, with randomized content and floor layouts.
  • Physics-based Hack & Slash Combat — Since all characters and enemies move and collide on a physics-based system, any interplay of attacks, traps, and magic resolve based on responsive, snazzy, and sometimes chaotic physics effects.
  • Multiple Characters & Play Styles — Play the game with one or all of the 5 character classes (some to be decided by backers!). Classes have unique speed and movement properties, weapon, special ability, and perk tree, giving each a different play style.
  • Character Growth & Customization — Gain experience as you play each class, and keep this progress through the class’s perk tree even if your current character dies. Level up if you want more flexibility, but Delver’s Drop is totally grind-free.
  • Weapons & Sub-Items — The player can find and purchase interesting and upgraded weapons for each class, as well as a large suite of expendable sub-items that are randomly spawn during each session. But items slots are limited, requiring intelligent use!
  • Puzzles & Secrets — Like many action adventure games, Delver’s Drop will feature interesting puzzles, requiring clever manipulation of dungeon elements, using physics to advantage, and resourceful usage of secondary items.
$15 gets you a digital copy of the game. The release date is October 2013. Kickstarter page this way.

RPGKickstarter.net now? o_O As many know, I'm a huge believer in the KS craze but does every campaign that has "RPG" in it's pitch now deserve to be on the news page?

That aside, this looks very uninteresting to me. I was never a Zelda fan to begin with and this looks like a repetitive button-smasher to me. Antharion (which I backed) looks much better in terms of an interesting setting, combat and being party based.

I'm not fond of characters with a bigger head than the rest of their bodies. Other than that, looks decent enough for a Zelda clone. Disclaimer: only watched 1 minute of the video before getting bored and closing tab.

I dunno, I thought the game looked really cute :D

Only bad part is the seeming lack of story ~_~ It seems they focused just on the random generation for an endless dungeon crawl ...but...without a story or reason forward, that gets a bit old.

I have a feeling it would be like the binding of isaac...where you just play for a day or two to see the different abilities, and then shelf it.

THe only respectable thing around here are the amounts of green raised on several occasions to fund some gaming related project. And that's the only thing they are after.
