Anyone heard anything about Kings and Heroes? It's a first person action RPG where you delve dungeons with up to 8 people.
>Seamless game world of varying environments
>6 different races to choose from with character customization

>Other nice promises and implications
I literally just found out about it and early access opens on steam in 3 hours. It looks pretty but that obviously means shit all till we know how it plays.

I had an extra $25 so I grabbed it on a whim. I fully expect to be disappointed but who knows. I'll share my thoughts when I get a few hours in.
When it releases anyway.

>that fucking character design
is this a joke
>>339492417
Is this going to be character per server bullshit like ark?
>>339492826
From what I've read its going to have 6 character slots. I dont know if they are per server or not however.
>>339492417
Well, I like the idea of "open world but for your friends" like say, Borderlands, it does seem to hold some very hefty promises even if it looks nice but I do not know about the game itself.
Is it like an MMO free for all? I don't really like the way it feels like you click to watch something happen later rather than the immediate feedback.
>hey these guys who worked at [developer you used to like] are going off on their own to make a spiritual sequel to [game you had fun with a long time ago], it's gonna be great!
The sad part is that people keep falling for this bullshit.

>>339493072
Its MMO-ish but not quite. It has persistent stuff in the open world but the meat of the game is the dungeon running. Think GW1 or Vindictus but also with an open world area.
>>339493072
No, it's an action game.
Looks incredibly uninspired. Generic dwarves, elves and orcs with an excess amount of particle effects and magic.
>>339492417
This looks actually interesting. I'll definely will take closer look at the game for sure. Been missing out both hack&slash and RPG's lately.
>>339493104
What else we have to cling to?
>>339493339
To be honest, generic dwarves, elves and orcs but done well is all I really want.
>>339492417
This is obvious shilling, but im still interested
>>339493568
OP here. Fuck you, I like co-op RPGs.If I was shilling I would have linked the place I preordered it from.
>>339493568
I forgive the shilling since i have not heard of this game at all till now. And better shill games that go under radar then have yet another Overwatch thread.
>>339493320
That's seems fine, I guess if is good and I can convince people, then wo-oh.
Make or break will be on the number/diversity of skills and the itemization in these sorts of games.

sign me up when this one fails and they make another game with the same concept but hired actual artists.

>"A group of developers who have previously worked at Blizzard, Valve Software, Certain Affinity, 7 Studios, and Turbine
There's probably a reason why those people aren't working for those companies anymore.
Would you say they're taking any inspiration from Hellgate London?
This could be awesome if there is gameplay depth. The graphics wouldn't bother me if there is a lot to do in the game and if it runs well.
Something tells me it's gonna be shit though. Low budget titles usually sell hype but can't make things happen.
It looks interesting
But I don't have friends that play vidya, so that rules this game out.
>>339494365
"Can not target self"
Now I am sad.
>>339494487
>being a good developer
>working at blizzard
These two things dont go together
>>339492417
I really hope this is good. This is honestly a type of game I've always hoped someone would make. Sucks that I'm really broke atm, but I'll definitely be getting this as soon as I can.
>>339494487
Do you like any of those companies and would want to play their games?
If so reevaluate your life.
>>339494841
LMFAO
>>339494487
that's not always a good way of looking at it, sometimes people leave to pursue their own ideas, maybe they were treated like shit, low pay etc.
Combat looks weightless, any form of hit feedback doesnt seem to exist in terms of physics
Im sure I could get over that, but it would have been nice to have it.
>>339492417
>first person action RPG
into the trash it goes
>>339492417
Honestly - this kind of game is my "dream game".
Its been 20 years of gaymin and still nothing scratched my itch to just be a dnd type party with my friends and fuck shit up in this setting.
Many have tried but fallen short very very easily.
I like how the designs are totally not-WoW, but really that video suggests soem clunky fucking shit with pudding for production values.
"unlimited" tells me its randomly generated shit all over the place which kills these games extremely easy
And 8 players seem way too much for what I saw and combat could just boil down to a shitflinging clusterfuck like Diablo or PoE
Guess its still better than if noone was trying.
I do enjoy Vermintide too and thats not far from this at all.

The biggest names at blizzard didn't jump ship after seeing legion pre-alpha for nothing. They knew.
>>339494487
You do realize the big name developers who made WC3, SC and WoW all jumped ship soon after those games released, right?
Blizzard has been dead for years now.
>>339494487
I remember the days before Torchlight 1 came out how good those people will do since they came from the right places...
Thought they would make me an mmo I can play after TBC was over...

Well you got my attention
>>339492417
epilepsy the game
Races:
Human/Orc/Goblin/Halfling/Elf/Dwarf
Classes:
Champion/Ranger/Rogue/Cleric/Wizard
Stats are rolled from 8->18 at character creation.
Alignment determines skills that you can use - "Not currently implemented into the game" which means that they probably won't bother actually doing it.
Critting is done by attacking a certain area of an enemy, usually their head or a specific area on their back. This means that smaller rogues, goblins/halflings, will have a very, very hard time critting.
It's basically Dungeons Lords with first-person camera mode on 24/7.
>>339492417

>okay, you certainly a shill, but I'm interested

>first person
Already lost intrest
>>339496831
Add to wishlist, check back every few months, it's what I do.
>>339496831
They say Early Access, but that's mostly just an excuse for the gameplay being stale and there being lots of bugs.
Apparently, all of the dungeons are there, the storyline in the game is available from start to finish, and equipment from 1 -> 50, the max level, is in the game, as are the skills from those levels.
After getting burned on Killing Floor 2, I'm not sure I have it in me to back this.
KF2 proved that even when you have a solid team at the rear, projects of this scale can very easily get stuck in perpetual early access hell, where updates are too few and far apart to uphold interest.
You got my interest at first person and the trailer makes it look pretty promising, but the overuse of flashy particle effect shit is worrying, even in their trailer, the thing they present to people who might give them money, they have moments where you just can't see shit because of other character's abilities and shit.
If it wasn't so overly flashy with the effects I'd be on board.
>>339493914
>going outside
>>339492417
>Trailer shows ranger shooting towards enemies and accidentally hits allies
Oh, so you need to be careful otherwise you might hurt your allies with a misplaced fireball or a stray arrow, okay we- "There is no friendly fire in this game, nor are there any intentions to add PvP outside of battle arenas."
>>339492417
how can anybody want to sit down and play something with an artstyle like this?
>>339497048
I was fine with KF2 until they called DOING THEIR FUCKING JOB a FREE CONTENT UPDATE.
Like they did us a fucking favor for developing the shit we paid for in advance.
FUCK
>>339492417
too many chefs, anon.
I miss you Asheron'a Call.
Oh shit this is coming out today? Nice, was going to play TW: Warhammer, but will give this a go.
We already have PoE, Grimdawn, Van Helsing, etc, so is there really a need for another one?
>>339492417
That is LITERALLY a gammorean behind the dwarf. RIP this game, copyright is gonna come and rape it.

eehhhhhhh, I'd be wary of that. Either it starts feels samey real fast, or you end up with nonsensical shit dungeons like you had in TES: Daggerfall where the dungeons were completely senseless shitpiles spawned from mindless computer code
>>339492417
> It's a first person action RPG
>>339498546
PoE is pretty good imo.
>>339498740
I loved D2 and I really wanted to like PoE but I spent around 90 hours waiting for it to get to the fun part. It just never got fun for me, and it's very unforgiving for new players, if you fuck your build up you basically have to start over and tough it out until you can respec. I know D2 was this way, but when it came out there wasn't a whole lot of games like it, and not nearly as many ways to fuck up your character.
>>339498583
Already happened during their livestream months ago.
There was a bridge that cut off halfway through because the next part that generated something like a canyon, then the dungeon continued after the canyon so it was impossible. Everyone just jumped to their death, mission failed and then they tried again, only the next time, the room right before the boss room had no exits and so the party then stood in front of a trap until they died to try again.

So basically no-bodies trying to name-drop their way to credibility? Even movies stopped using those lame-ass "from the producers of" shit.
>>339498984
Pretty much
>>339499178
Hopefully.
The only change since then was that they changed crafting to have 500 levels and they removed lockpicking/trap disarming from Rogues to make you not forced to have one anymore and enemies now just explode in loot instead of dropping a potentially trapped/locked chest full of goods.

literally every action rpg to come out since 2006 has z listers from these comapnies in it
How can anyone claim this garbage graphics looks "pretty"?
What the fuck is wrong with your eyes??
just watched the video, and it seems like it might be cool. I've been burned one too many times on early access though, so I will let this one sit for a bit until I hear more about it.

How has no one heard about this game? Shit was apparently supposed to come out april 26th but got delayed due to bugs.
How does a game manage to fly so far under the radar Battleborn is above it in shilling?probably gonna be buying it and falling for the early access meme
