This game. Man, what can you say about this game? If you are a fan of old school cRPGs like the Forgotten Realms titles, Planescape: Torment, Fallout and its sequel, Ultima VII, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and the like you will love this title. Basically, it is an amalgamation of traits from the great titles mentioned above. That is to say that it is an isometric, party-based cRPG that features round-based combat with action points and does not scale to level or provide quest markers.

One of the big features of the title is that there are two protagonists which you can either play solo by controlling them both or play in co-op with a friend controlling one. It features a decision-making system where the protagonists can agree or disagree in regard to handling in-game situations where success is based on statistics and whatnot. It is better seen than explained, so here is Jesse Cox and Crendor playing an alpha build back in January:

The game, like the upcoming Wasteland 2, was born from Kickstarter success, so it was very much funded by and made for fans of this type of game. Personally, I have poured nearly 50 hours into it in less than a week, and am not even remotely close to finishing the game, so it has some girth to it. So, check it out!
