Dead Crusade is a new kickstarter game being developed by a studio called Aesthetic Games. They are asking for $250,000, and describe their game as the following.



A refreshing take on the Zombie Apocalypse. Dead Crusade is a medieval survival horror RPG that will take you to Medieval Europe in a time of great upheaval and strife as an unstoppable plague tears the world apart. Travel through the cities, countryside, and cemeteries of Medieval Europe across multiple expansive campaigns as you battle hordes of the undead, and avoid becoming infected with the plague yourself.

Summary


  • Planned Platforms: PC (Mac, Linux TBA)
  • Release date: Q4, 2015
  • Approx, 3 Campaigns
  • Single-player and Multi-player support
  • 1st and 3rd person gameplay
More information.

MMM never played much of the horror-games or survival games,
but I do admit, it sounds interesting.

Will keep an eye on it

"The plague spread with the speed of 1000 horses."

What does that even mean? Whether it's 1 horse or 1000, they run relatively the same speed. Unless we're talking the 1000hp Hennessey Venom GT, but this is 1346 a.d. Anyway…

Game looks interesting.

Game looks good because of the U4 engine, but not interesting.

So is that just the Cursed Crusade (notice the similarity in the names!) game with zombies instead of beasts?

All the focus seems to be on Co-op. Also I'm not sure that fighting undead over and over again wouldn't get old. I'll watch how this thing develops, but it doesn't look like a game I'd kickstart or buy fullprice.

Why? Joxer dreams about being "knight gravedigger"? (without a horse, but with a companion) :biggrin:

Back to the game. It doesnt look bad but it needs good story, interesting quests and some NPCs to talk to. Now it looks like an action game with simple automated tasks - there wasnt any dialog in video, your hero was just automatically given task which is pretty lame.

And it needs some meaningfull non-combat stuff like healing comrades and option to build simple defense lines. If the game will be just dull medieval zombie action it will be wasted potential.

Iron dressed people facing a zombie invasion... Hopefully, the contamination is mostly spread on the model of the black plague. Fleas would help instead of bites.

Maybe it means spreading at the speed of 1,000 horses running in different directions. Just a thought.
