<a href="http://www.soldak.com/">Soldak Entertainment</a>, the folks behind RPG/strategy hybrid Depths of Peril, are going in a somewhat less ambitious direction with the announcement of <b><a href="http://www.soldak.com/Kivis-Underworld/Overview.html">Kivi's Underworld</a></b>.
<br>
<blockquote>Kivi's Underworld is a casual, hack and slash game. Explore the mysterious underworld Kivi's Underworld - Blademasteras a mighty Warrior battling opponents toe to toe, rain down fire on your enemies with the dangerous Fire Mage, sneak disguised with stealth to confound your foes as a Scout, unleash the fury of the Berserker, or adventure with any of the other sixteen playable characters.</blockquote>
<br>
<blockquote>Unique 3D casual, action adventure
<br>
Fits easily into your schedule (designed to be played in 15 to 30 minute chunks)
<br>
Interface is very easy to learn (only requires 3 keys/buttons)
<br>

Seems like a step backward for Soldak, but maybe this is meant as a way to fund Depths of Peril 2.

Let's hope we won't get some stinking pile of poo like Depth of Peril was (worst game I demoed last year, besides Eschalon).

Now get a publisher and stop those indie illusion. You guys need a professional ad campaign.

This will face some serious competition. Hope it has some innovative features to stand out from the crowd.

Thank you, Elwro. This is what I meant: Why should I buy a low buget indie production in a genre that is buzzing with major productions?

They'll need more than word of mouth this time.
