Anime Guardians of Arcadia - A homage to JRPG of the 90's (Turn based)

[IndieGuy]

Guardians of Arcadia is a single-player RPG with inspiration in the successes of the 1990’s. The game will incorporate popular elements of games on that decade. Some of those elements are the design of chibi characters, random battles, the combat system through menus, and a fully explorable world. The game is currently in development and will have a Steam Greenlight campaign starting this week.

Stay Tuned!

Nostalgia is a feature?

Unfortunately that usually happens when a game is bad.

I'm not saying that is necessarily the case here but it is a definite warning flag.

The environment looks great for an indie game, but the character designs are extremely amateurish.

Looks like it's another of these "Will buy if it's good but it's probably going to suck" thing.

The fact that they advertise it as a "nostalgia" game is indeed a red flag, but man I was so relieved when I saw the graphics, I was almost sure it was going to be some rpgmaker-esque "retro" graphics, but they actually look nice.

Well all we can do is hope it isn't shit (it probably going to be).
Talking about nostalgia rpgs, anybody played Pier Solar? Is it good?

I own it but will probably play it in five years or so.

Arcadia can't be copyrighted in sane countries since its a Romanticism pastoral bullcrap.

Oh, well, good for them. I thought it was simply made-up bullcrap.

Trailer from the Steam page:


Doesn't exactly scream "buy me" yet.

Like in the screenshots, the characters looks really flat, they all seem to lack any shading other than the painted.
