Empyrios - Major Milestone Reached @ IndieDB

Joe Creoterra annouced that a major milestone has been reached for the tactical RPG Empyrios: Prophecy of Flame:

Wow getting this major build ready has been much more work than I had originally anticipated, but we're finally rounding the corner and checking off the majority of tasks for this milestone. Over the last month it seemed like there were a billion and one changes happening at exactly the same time, and it's all over the place… art, UX, code, design, writing, you name it… so at times it was quite frustrating to say the least!

It's a pretty important build for us, as it not only brings everything together, but it's our first time showcasing our polished art and UX/design decisions. We've wanted to cut a trailer and gameplay videos for quite a long time, but we just couldn't afford to make such a major time investment until we were truly happy with the game and what we were showing. We're finally in a place where we've locked down our UX, aesthetics, and design and so we just recently started production on our trailer, turning storyboards into visuals, so I'm really excited about that.

Overview of the game:

A tide of darkness has swept across the lands of Aeloria, sewing seeds of discord in it's wake. Clans are locked in a battle for power and supremacy as the kingdoms wage war over the precious resource auralite, rare crystals that have been infused with the power of the Mägi.

Empyrios is a tactical strategy RPG set in the fantasy world of Aeloria. Ally with a faction and recruit your clan from among the eight major races that inhabit the realm. Each one of your soldiers can be fully customized, and they have powerful abilities distinct to their class.

Battle through the dynamic campaign from the perspective of either faction, with the story being different every time depending on your choices. Or you can take your army online to clash with enemies, vying to become the true champion. War is here. Are you ready?

The game looks good already:

Looks very, very interesting !
I do love TB games and this one is looking great ! Love the details on the warriors and all.
Wondering what the release date will be since it is not yet on sale at steam.

The perspective looks a little bit odd. Maybe it's because the characters have a little different perspective than the scenario?

More good news for RPG TB lovers… Hopefully we will get our hands on the final product soon…ish…

The character remind me a lot of Warcraft 3.
