Ember - Release Day

[HiddenX]

The RPG Ember will be released today:

Back in the earliest days, there was no sun and the world was dark. The heavens opened up and stars fell like beacons into the pitch black world, and they were known as “Embers”. Powerful and wise druids of a primordial race, “the Lightbringers," roamed the land searching for this luminous matter. They performed a ritual of awakening to call the “Embers” out of their deep sleep. Suddenly the world became bright, and the veil of darkness was lifted. The Embers were the embodiment of magical flame, light, and life, but as word spread about the sheer power of the Embers, they came to be hunted and captured…and so the War for Ember began...

This went under my radar for far too long. Instabuy for me.
A small studio like this developing an single-player RPG must be supported.

The real time with pause combat will make me hesitate. Enjoy turn based so much more. It has to be a classic like Baldur's Gate for me to do real time with pause. I have only played Pillars of Eternity for about 20 hours because of the combat. I spent $500 on that damn game

Will wait to see some reviews. RTWP is more enjoyable for me.
Pillars of Eternity the story didn't catch me. I did make it to the end. (I found out that gold characters could safely be ignored which helped.)

It looks polished. I'll probably get this day one. Might and Magic vibe even if its isometric. Must be the colourfulness...

WOW, just wow

Very quick review from ACG - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Ezuj0OBoI

WOW, just wow

Well I donated $500 for the kickstarter and got a bunch of goodies. The art book and some other things they sent me was really cool. I will most likely try it again because I read the Paladin class is not all that great.

I have cooled on Kickstarter after Pillars and a few other games I have backed. I don't think I have donated since Bards Tale 4.

Dang hat is a positive review. Graphically it reminded me of that failed game (the one that was suppose to be a nwn replacement - can't remember the name obviously).

Well only $8.50 for an estimated 20 hours adventure. Bit the bullet will try it next week.

Looks good. I will keep an eye out for reviews.

I went ahead and bought it too. It will be at least a couple of weeks until I can get around to it though.

 

[Archangel]

I am sure to try this game once my Path of Exile craze passes

 

[Darkheart]

I bought it, too. Such games have to be supported. I have a two week holiday by the end of September and hope I can try it then.
Looks good and this just might be up my alley.

Sword Coast Legends

 

[sakichop]

looks good, i'm buying.

Main concern would be I didn't see any hold position or AI toggle button. Wondering how I'll maintain spacing and keep combat from becoming a jumbled mess but for $8-9 i think it's a no brainer to support the game.

 

[crpgnut]

I'm at work, but I plan on picking it up as well, even though I'm a single-character, single-player gamer. For $8.50, I'll buy just to support a new developer.

 

[Acleacius]

Thanks for this post, had no idea about this game, looks worth checking out!

Can I get some early impression on this please?
The thing seems charming, but is it really?
