There's a new combat video in Kickstarter update #48 for InSomnia:

Fighting for your life: combat video

Hello everyone! Today we will share a few more details about the updated InSomnia demo and current status of the project.

New combat video

So lately we have reworked some of the existing combat mechanics and introduced a bunch of new essential features. This video below will show you a fight with a well protected target both with melee weapon and a shotgun, some sneaking, blocking, dodging, executing, recharging, healing, looting and new main UI in action:

Thanks Farflame!

Combat look cool, but when is this game being released? It sounds like it was announced ages ago.

I went to their kickstarter site and found out that they'll do another one 'cause they blowed their budget. Very untrustworthy devs, if you ask me. I wouldn't back them.

Risen meets Dark Souls.

Frack, why did I think this would have more of a tactical stat based combat instead of this twitch based crap... I guess I can remove this from my wishlist.

Do you know the expectations you just put on this game.

Just take it of your wishlist and add it to mine, this sound great.

Wow. Great looking combat. I like the looks of it, definitely will be following this one now.

I must be the only one who doesn't like rolling in an ARPG. (Really, I must admit I'm mostly sick of ARPGs in general.) I remember The Witcher 2 adding it after release, because so many people were crying for it. But, speaking of Risen, I much prefer the parrying of the first Risen game.

 

[GabrielMP_19]

The Witcher 2's combat would suck beyond mesure without rolling if my memory serves me right. I rolled all the goddamn time.

 

[Darkheart]

I would prefer it to be turn-based, but I guess I will give it a chance once released.

Rolling was in TW2 from start, and combat sucked from start as well.

Combat big like, because of dodge/rolling on ground. Awesome graphics. I'll buy when it comes out after a couple of patches.

wasn't this supposed to be a party based game at some point

It was supposed to be many things. One of those was a finished RPG that does not have Dark Souls combat. If I was a KS backer I would be mighty pissed by now.

 

[Farflame]

Agreed. First Risen has very good combat.

Not really. I think they never said it will be traditional party-based game like BG.
You have companions in ARPGs too.

They make the game bigger than initially anticipated. And they probably reworked combat a lot in last months because it looked pretty boring in first videos. Now it looks better.

I'm a backer. It was never supposed to be turn based or party based. It was supposed to be real time w/pause, like Baldur's Gate. That they've focused more on action oriented combat is not what I expected. Hopefully you can still pause, and plan, I'd be dissapointed if that's not the case, as I wrote the developer extra about the combat before backing.
