Tags: Dungeons of Aledorn; Team 21
In between all the major Kickstarters from industry veterans making a play for our nostalgia dollars this year, an unknown Czech indie developer by the name of Team 21 has surfaced with an "Old School Hardcore RPG" Kickstarter of their own. It's called Dungeons of Aledorn, and it's inspired by 90s classics such as Betrayal at Krondor and the Realms of Arkania series, with first person exploration and isometric turn-based tactical combat. Here's the pitch video (two of them, actually) and overview:
Dungeons of Aledorn (DoA) is an RPG game that brings back several time-tested principles of the classics into a single fantasy release. DoA is being created by and for hardcore gamers who appreciate games with a high challenge level.
As we were deciding what kind of game DoA should be, we searched for inspiration in the classics of this nowadays rare game genre. Therefore, we turned to the best of the best while designing DoA - Betrayal at Krondor, Realms of Arcania: Shadows over Riva, Might & Magic, King's Bounty and the Fallout series. In addition, our game bears many features similar to the popular pen & paper RPGs based on the D&D, Gurps and DrD (Czech equivalent of D&D) rules.
DoA players can expect a balanced combination of puzzles, branched dialogs options, tactical turn-based combat, quest-solving and last but not least an intriguing and complex RPG-system.
The rest of the pitch describes the game's features in extreme detail, and a tech demo is also available. Team 21 are seeking only $60,000 to make Dungeons of Aledorn a reality, and a minimum pledge of just $9 will get you a copy if they succeed. Let's hope they don't fall between the cracks.
