Thank you for the info, Mathieu!

Nice. This is the cheapest I've seen it so far.

I nearly bought this one. The only reason I didn't was that the fights were in the blobber style instead of on the map, which meant that my time and money is more attracted to things like Serpents in the Staglands, Antharion and Sword Coast Legends. I'll give it credit though, it does look like a really great game.

Now is the time to get it, if you haven't already. It's not perfect, but I had a great time with it.

10/10

Indie Game of the Year contestant, easily, in the fantasy genre.
Design is top notch. The open world element is on par with Skyrim. Fantastic music (!!), beautiful graphics, magnificent monsters and cute animations. The combat is very very good! Its a shame that at first sight the combat screenshots looked so goofy and cheap to me. Only playing the game and actually experiencing combat shows, how great Xulima is. You will need at least an 1920x1080 monitor to see better the amazing UI.

Pillars of Eternity is 5/10 compared to this.

You can get Lords of Xulima on Humble Bumble as well:
Humble Weekly Bundle

I was a backer, but I still haven't played LoX other than creating a party and exploring the starting area. I just don't have the time for another 100+ hour game right now.

True, game of last year, much better than Pillars of Pretentious Dialogue.

The world is charming, full of surprises and delights and the 2D art is simply gorgeous. It is truly a marvel. And the game respects players' intelligence and skill every bit as well as hardcore computer RPGs from the 80s. A truly brilliant gem that doesn't get enough credit.

I hope so much that there will be a sequel. Mathieu, des infos à ce sujet?

I guess I need to give this another shot. To me, it seemed like endless combat with an archaic combat system.

I actually preferred it to PoE too. Awesome game.

Daniel.

A fantastic game no doubt. I also couldn't help but notice they started the 70% off sale right as Antharion released on Steam. So I guess the Antharion devs should take that as a compliment.

Antharion is a good romp but not as good as Xulima. Xulima has much more content, much better use of skills, is more challenging and clever among other things.

Great game but you better enjoy combat Large world reminded me of the old M&M maps. It took me 120 hours to finish but I do all side quests and explore all the maps. Some of that time was AFK also. The only complaint I had was the magic items. Kinda generic. Classes were done real nice.

One of the best indie RPGs I played, and there had been lot of great ones in last few years.I am really hoping for sequel soon.
