Free-roaming, non-grid based open world blobbers in the style of Might & Magic VI and Wizardry 8 are the most rare subtype of an already rare genre. There are a number of indie games currently in development that match that description, but Kevin French's Legendary Journeys might be the first to become properly available for sale as an Early Access title. It's a classic fantasy roleplaying experience about a party of adventurers who meet in a tavern and embark on a quest to assemble a mystic artifact. The game has been in development since at least 2015, though Kevin seems to have only begun publicizing it in earnest in 2018. Here's the latest gameplay video and an excerpt from its Early Access FAQ:



Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

Legendary Journeys is planned to be in Early Access between 12-18 months.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
The final version of the game will see the following:
  • All zones implemented
  • All spells and combat abilities implemented
  • All classes fleshed out
  • All Trade skill recipes implemented
  • The main story line in place (zones, dialog, items, etc)
  • Additional side content made available
  • Mechanics like skill checks will be fully implemented
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
The current version of the game includes the following and is in a playable state:
  • Most zones in Umbrea (starting realm) are completed
  • Start of the main quest is in place
  • Most spells are in game
  • Most combat abilities are in game
  • Some skill checks (lock pick, disarm trap, lore) are functional
  • Combat AI for monsters
  • Turn-Based combat mechanics in place
  • Loot - gotta have loot!
  • Status effects
  • Save/Load game system including an Auto-save feature
  • Trade skills - a few recipes for Alchemy are in game for potion brewing and available for brewing
  • 110 monsters are in game and spread throughout 26 zones (overland and dungeons)

Legendary Journeys Early Access is available on Steam for $12, with a 10% launch discount until next week. For additional details about its development, check out the game's official website.

I don't care that this reeks of Unity store-bought assets, I'm excited for anything inspired by MMVI.
Choose from 10 classes such as the necromancer, death knight, and monk
That seems to be a bit of a non-traditional selection. I'm curious if this is a sign of something.

Can he at least increase the terrain texture quality, as in increased resolution?
Everything else looks fine.

Lol, no. I guess i have daggerfall modding in my head and I'm still annoyed at MMX requiring you purchase a 1500$ unity program to mod it.

Looks interesting. Video editing needs some serious work though.
