Looking good! That scorpion scaling the vertical rock surface is not a small coding feat! They seem to take this seriously & to heart. Particle effects looking good. Animations are good. Characters of different build come off really well.

Top notch work!

Played Heretic Kingdoms for the first time just over a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been following the suprising news of a follow up but didn't expect it to be so similar - it's exactly what I want - bumped up graphics but with the same gameplay.

Looks like they're making it primarily for fans of the game - a refreshing approach!

While I'm not expecting it to be nearly as deep, I hope it gets interest from the Divinity/Pillars of Eternity crowd.

Did the first game have much with puzzles and such ? They talk about puzzles being very important in this new game.

Nothing besides using the ability to switch between the Spirit/real world to talk/interact with a ghost/item; there could have been a lot more done with this mechanic - and hopefully that's what they'll do with the sequel.

Exciting and gorgeous! I'm glad to see this team at work again on a sequel. I thought the original was a shining example of what an isometric RPG should be. ^.^

Whoa, this game just went on my radar with a bang! Looks awesome, if there is one setting that makes me immediately interested in a rpg, it is desert settings. And this one they have in the game looks stunning!
