“With accessible controls and brilliant visuals, Dragon Fin Soup will appeal to core gamers looking for a rich, tactical experience and RPG fans who love dark, twisted tales,” said Grimm Bros CEO Ash Monif. “Typically turn based games can be slow and discontinuous, however in Dragon Fin Soup movement, combat and controls have been streamlined to empower you to set your own pace.”

Set in a beautiful, high-resolution World, Dragon Fin Soup features deep RPG mechanics, tactical decision making, turn-based but action oriented controls and serves the player with witty humor and deeply flawed characters, complete with original stories, crafting, fishing, gathering, pets and many other fun features.

The world of Dragon Fin Soup begins on the back of Asura, a giant dragon-turtle god who swims the multiverse of space-time, players choose to unravel the tale of their character in Story Mode or embark on a journey to discover the wilds of Asura in Survival Mode. With a variety of compelling locations to explore including spider forests, ice caves, abandoned mines, scorching deserts, mushroom forests and haunted mansions, Dragon Fin Soup kicks off the action with the tale of Red Robin, whose bloody dark past comes back to haunt her with a vengeance.

This looks really cool. Not a fan of the big heads on the characters, but I can live with that and the cutesy artstyle if the gameplay is good. From the video at least, it looks like a day one purchase.
