Sui Generis: Exanima - Available on Early Access
 

Sui Generis: Exanima is a top-down dungeon crawler game that is a prelude to the Kickstarter funded Sui Generis has just launched on Steam’s Early Access today.



More information.

Well, the engine seems kind of neat, though I only messed around with it for five minutes. I made a fat old man (always appreciate when I can make fat characters) who quickly learned swinging a torch around like a drunkard was not much good against a guy with an axe. It's different and will take some getting used to, but on to a real game for now…

Definitely interested in this game. Definitely not joining EA. I like the idea and concept, but right now the combat looks more like a few drunkards duking it out, than meaningful sword-play. I will have to see how this turns out before considering buying it.

In defense of my computerized opponent, he didn't look like a drunkard at all. He went to town on me with that axe. :p

combat is messy
and also the adventure, moving around object, rotating and using them is not user friendly
i think its better if the character picked up the item first, and then you had the option to rotate it and stuff
Gedi stuff is a turn off, and the puzzles based on these mechanics are annoying without proper implementation

moving objects in combat is….questionable. Exactly how did he manage to get a table on top of hisenemy in combat, while holding a 2 handed weapon?

Questionable how? Telekinesis is where you draw the line? What about shooting fireballs out of your hands :P

I doubt this telekinesis is somehow rooted in the lore, contrary to shooting fireballs which normally is.

Kinda like Jedi powers :)

Hopefully they make enough in sales to continue their progress.

I'm intrigued. I like the physics and wacky stuff that can happen during combat, from what I've seen. I'm more interested in the full game with above ground areas, when it's finished - Sui Generis - hopefully there will be NPCs and good exploration, not just combat.

This is almost identical feedback to what Tresspaser received back in 1998. Physics does not make a game.

World of goo, and many others would disagree. But I get what you're saying. The control interface needs to be near perfect in a game like this. Hope they get it worked out quickly. Looking forward to the main game.

A new combat strategy not seen very often.Running away!
May the plus 1 cross training shoes drop often for all.

Still waiting for something that isn't a combat simulator. More than ready to see quests, dialogues, villages, etc. If someone would like to look at this, I have a spare key. Note, I may not be back on till tomorrow morning though….RPGWatch is my working hours hobby :D

I did not know there was telekinesis in the game so thanks for the info. I thought click drag was simply the way to move things in the game and represented the character doing so with his hands.

Exanima: Domini Ebrius

I do like the mood and the environment.

It looks kind of interesting, but I've missed a lot of the press on this game…

What happened to outside/external environments (as shown in the early alpha footage)? Is that still gonna be a part of things, or is this one a strictly subterranean thing?

Well based on current information Sui Generis is still an open world game. Think of this game as a spin-off to introduce players to the setting, and to raise more funding.
