At Gamezebo, there’s nothing we like greater than sharing small indie tasks that make us go “Wow, this look so cool!” At this time, we obtained excited over Sword Hero, a physics-based fantasy sport on its approach to Kickstarter, which boasts a extremely neat 3D pixel type, and Shadow Of The Colossus-type climbing mechanics. What extra might you need?
We simply noticed a number of the climbing mechanics showcased through the developer’s Twitter. Issues are very a lot within the early improvement stage, with the “monster” in query represented by an elongated sphere with a stone tile texture on, however it’s simple sufficient to see how the mechanic will work.
Bloody And Bruised Well being System
The climbing isn’t the one fascinating mechanic Sword Hero has to supply. The well being and injury system could be very in contrast to most video games. Quite than an HP worth, the state of your character, and enemies is decided by seen accidents on the physique. Your character appears extra roughed up the extra injury they take, and ultimately will get wounds that show deadly.
The sport itself feels oddly nostalgic, even though it’s solely now in improvement. Maybe it’s the intriguing 3D pixel artwork, or the low polygon, barely lonely world that jogs my memory of Group Ico video games …and even Evergrace if you wish to get REALLY obscure.
A Barely Liminal Vibe
It comes with trendy comforts although, with breakable objects, reactive components within the setting and physics-based interactions that might blow the common PS1 person’s thoughts, even when the belongings don’t look one million miles away from that.
We’re positively going to maintain a detailed eye on this title and see how the event shapes up.
