Yes! I've been waiting for it
Thanks, GOG!

So, how are saves and deaths handled in this game?

Damn... that trailer had me totally sold until "souls-like" flashed on the screen. Gonna assume there's no difficulty settings then and it isn't suitable for more casual play? Game looked really cool though.

Probably my favorite among marketing "buzz-phrases" that only work as deterrents for me. Really, I thought we were done with that particular bandwagon. Why aren't there any "uncharted-likes" or "KOTOR-likes"?

While reading the game card I kept waiting for "random" or "procedural" or permadeath" or "rogue-lite" or any other keywords that never came. In fact there was a "hand-crafted" in there!

I'll check it out a bit more tomorrow. Tonight's recreation is already planned.

I'd also like to see more SaGa-likes, preferably from some people who aren't connected to the SaGa franchise, so that there'd be more variety in RPG core growth mechanics. (XP-based leveling does eventually get old.)

(Also Wizardry-likes, though every now and then one of them does manage to escape Japan.)

Speaking of buzzwords, the term "RPG" has been abused to the point where it has lost its meaning (hence why my personal definition of RPG is so strict), and a game being advertized as an RPG does not tell me if it's a game that would scratch the same itch that Final Fantasy 3 (the game I've been replaying lately) does. Would you play a game with hand-crafted procedurally generated worlds (whatever that means)?

Good question! I interpret that as Oblivion, where the world was crafted, but the tree/shrub/etc placement is dynamically placed during play, and I think the harvest-ables were placed procedurally by a seed so they're consistent, or something like that.

It's a trade-off. Procgen can work for some games (4x games), but not others ("metroidvanias"), and others in between. But it's generally an "avoid this game" flag for platformers for sure.

I was waiting for this. "Dead Cells"-like?

A sort of handcrafted Dead Cells with amazing animations... The only reason not to wishlist it is buying it.

This game was not only made in the same country as me, but also the same province! It was backed by the Ontario Creates program.

Are You also pixelated and souls-like?

I sometimes enjoy playing Syobon Action's "Mystery Dungeon" mode (press the numeral 0 on the title screen). Just don't take it seriously, as you often have to die dozens of times before the game gives you a level you can clear.

Saw this on a lets play channel and loved it. Didnt know it was coming here. Wishlisted while i collect funds to buy it...
