The Eldritch Cases: Dagon is in it's last few hours. They need a 6,000 pound miracle, and I don't mean my high school girlfriend. In all seriousness, a good friend of mine is working on the music for this game, and this team is really talented. I think this one is worth the time - so check it out again, if you haven't.

Witchmarsh is a hipster indie "supernatural mystery" action-RPG set in 1920s Massachusetts:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1027299776/witchmarsh

An action RPG set in 1920s Massachusetts. Create and manage a team of investigators in a story-driven supernatural mystery.

It's the Roaring Twenties! Join an unlikely team of detectives as they charge headlong into the darkest corners of rural America. Their mission: find and return the missing 'Witchmarsh Twelve' who vanished under mysterious circumstances.

A handsome reward is in store should they succeed, but with the supernatural lurking around every corner, will any of them live long enough to collect it?

Each investigator has their own perks, traits, abilities and personality.

There are a total of five ability schools and five attributes in Witchmarsh. How you combine these will determine your characters' playstyle, as well as the secrets and clues they will uncover.

Mix the craft attribute with fire and water and you'll unlock the power of elemental sorcery. Swap spirit for craft and your spellbook will take on ritualistic themes; drawing power from ancient forces and the marsh itself.

Features
  • A refreshing mix of modern and classic RPGs, with branching dialogue and responsive, tactical combat.
  • Play singleplayer or with friends in 2-4 player Co-op.
  • Dripping with Jazz Age style, featuring music by Francisco Cerda, composer on Gunpoint and Jamestown.
  • A massive character creation sandbox with over 50 unlockable abilities* across five spellbooks. Mix and match attributes, perks, items and weapons to create a unique team of adventurers. Or simply use one of the many templates to dive straight into the action.
  • A game for seasoned RPG fans as well as players new to the genre. Optional bosses and challenges for those brave enough to seek them out.
  • Over ten* playable characters. Watch your choice in personalities result in conflict, friendships, wisecracks... romance?
    :dgaider:
  • A dynamic hidden item system ensures no two trips to Witchmarsh are the same
  • Responsive combat. Dodge, jump and roll out of harm's way.
  • Hordes of enemies with a variety of nasty tricks up their sleeves.
  • Piles of loot to acquire! Arm yourself with shovels, hats, guns, haunted antique cow creamers and more. Decide which items to specialist in via Skill Points.
Looks interesting, actually. Estimated release date is Dec 2015, though, which feels like a looong way from now.

Shards Online is the next step in online sandbox gaming, heavily inspired by the great herald of online worlds, Ultima Online, and other popular sandbox games. Citadel is breaking away from the modern MMO conventions of levels, classes and quest grinds. With Shards Online, we are returning to living virtual worlds where stories emerge naturally as players explore the worlds laid out before them.

Deadrock Divide - turn-based sandbox sci-fi RPG in space. With "random elements", of course.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bootsnakegames/deadrock-divide

Fight, trade, and conquer in an 80’s inspired, sci-fi universe. A Sandbox RPG featuring turn-based tactical combat for PC/Mac/Linux.

You arrive to find the area teeming with miners, pirates, and corporations, all competing for control over valuable resources. Secure contracts and hire, equip, and command your squad of mercenaries to conquer the asteroid belt and become a legend of Deadrock Divide.
  • Fight in XCOM inspired turn-based tactical combat. Use lasers, turrets, grenades, and more to overcome your enemies. Destructible battlefields open the doors for huge variety in how you choose to fight it out.

  • Explore an asteroid field full of miners, pirates, heroes and villains.

  • Buy one of many ships, upgrade your ship with special rooms that change how the ship functions in both flight and tactical combat.

  • Upgrade your characters with new weapons, armor, belt buckles and more. Unlock the secrets of fantastic weapons, craft your own boots, or take the relic of a famous star fighter.

  • Choose one of three factions and help them conquer the region in their quest to control the flow of Deadrock.

  • Trade with the stations and denizens of the Divide. A complex economy is at work moving goods from mine to station. Build mines and make money by getting your hands dirty.

  • Build your characters how you want using a trait system. Characters unlock trait points you can spend how you want. Have heavy weapons soldier who can heal, a telekenetic pilot, a character with some abilities in many trees, and more.
Deadrock Divide is our take on tactical games by combining elements of sandbox RPG. It provides replayability with random elements that make each playthrough fresh, including beating the game with each of the three factions.​
