    [​IMG]A new Kickstarter has launched for a Victorian era inspired XCOM game called Alder's Blood.

    [​IMG]​

    Child of XCOM and Bloodborne that was raised by Darkest Dungeon.

    Alder's Blood, a fresh take on the tactical genre, which raises the tactical decisions of the player over the mere luck of RNG rolls.

    Lead the group of legendary monster slayers in the dark, twisted remnants of civilization. Gear up, scout ahead and hunt throughout putrid forests, forsaken castles, corrupted hamlets and cursed coves. Battle feral monsters and the Darkness itself, the corrupting force of the entire land.

    Platform PC

    We consider Steam as a first platform we hit, then GOG. We do not deny other platforms in the future (PS4, Switch).

    Features
    • no RNG system in the base mechanics; forget all the missed shots fired just 1 meter in front of your enemy;
    • Darkness System can surprise you by changing the rules on the game in the middle of the fight;
    • Stamina System - fail miserably just by losing your breath during combat;
    • Senses System - monsters can hear and SMELL you! Beware of the wind;
    • Strategy - a second gameplay layer, where you can research new gear, craft items and prepare for the next encounter;
    • Boss fights - track down and face challenging enemies in storyline missions.
    Gameplay

    Alder's Blood is a 2D fuse of tactical and strategy game mixed with a few twists and fresh approach to the genre. We removed the RNG systems from core mechanics of the combat, as we believe that we can provide interesting and surprising experience without implementing the dice rolls.
