Gauntlet Legends Inspired ‘Heroes of Forevia’ Needs a Kickstart
Online multiplayer is great and all, but it can feel too impersonal. Even when playing with close friends, an online game can sometimes feel like two (or more) people having a separate, unrelated experience that happens to be taking place on the same map instead of actually cooperating together.
PopFlame recognizes this problem and aims to fix it. With their game, Heroes of Forevia, their goal is to blur the line between online and local co-op. They want you to feel like your online friends are right there on the couch with you, just like the old days.
But they need your help. In order to get the project off the ground, they need to raise some money. And what better way to do that then with Kickstarter? The team has already invested thousands of their own dollars into purchasing art assets, engine licensing, and other expenses, but they need some help from gamers like you to finish the job.
What exactly is Heroes of Forevia? It’s an action RPG inspired by Gauntlet Legends with a skill-based matchmaking system used for teaming up in the enemy-slaying, puzzle-solving action. Right now, development is happening for Windows and Mac. But if they can get enough funding, they will add support for Linux and iOS/Android tablets.
You can find out more about the game and the team behind it on the Heroes of Forevia Kickstarter page. For as low as $10, you can get into the beta and get a copy of the game. Donate more and you’ll get extra goodies like an exclusive item only available to backers. Check out a sneak peek at some concept art below as well as the initial pitch video.
