Default Umbra - Kickstarter Launched

May 15th, 2015, 01:29
The Kickstarter for Umbra has launched a few hours ago and they are asking for $225K, to be reached within 30 days.

An isometric view open world action-RPG taking place in a corrupted world falling apart. You are a former officer of army of the Human Republic, forced to flee the death penalty because of the magic powers you have unwillingly developed. Being tracked down by humans and hunted by the monsters of the Wild, you are recruited by a mysterious group of Templars. And thus an epic adventure begins in which you will wander the world to fight inhuman, mutated monsters and discover the terrible secret of the extinguishing mankind.

The game features a unique mechanic called Apocalyptic Form that allows players to shape shift into a highly customized character! You’re free to mold your character thanks to a deep and rich customization system. And thanks to our complex crafting mini-game and our housing module you will be able to make your adventure feel as YOUR adventure!

As you can see from our video, the detailed environments, intense action and impressive effects are beautifully created thanks to the next-gen technology of the CRYENGINE.

It has good graphics yes but I'm not sure it will do much of anything better than Torchlight 2, which can be gotten for a dollar in a bundle.

That seems like a pretty lofty goal, but I think it looks pretty good so I will probably pledge.

Absolutely this. There're some interesting ideas there and the bit on the giant's back looked great, but the combat looks far too fast paced, twitchy and over the top for me. Good luck to them though.

Maybe they're making a mistake by selling their game too cheap. 9 / 12 / 15$ isn't much.
