An honest to god RPG.

I’m a bit of an old-school CRPG hag (which is plain to see from the sour look on my face when the subject of real-time combat comes up.)

That’s why the announcement of Basilisk Games’ upcoming first release, Eschelon: Book One has me all hot and bothered. This promises to be a real, honest to god, turn-based, single player CRPG. (And indie at that.) Not that I don’t love Spiderweb Software games, but it’s about time for some new kids on this block.

The original release was scheduled for sometime this summer, but has been pushed back indefinitely:

“It is also impossible to accurately determine when we will be finished with it, so we have decided not to toss out another release date until we know we can adhere to it.”

Here’s hoping that extra development time pays off in the form of a juicy new time sink.

Oooh… Looks nice (nice looking, too!).

Reminds me what an indie version of Arcanum or Fallout would look like. Much better looking than the Spiderweb Software games too.

The presentation looks great! But the atmosphere seems like rather generic RPG fare, like most Western RPGs are. It’d be nice to see some new worlds every now and then. :)

Try Arcanum, Derek ;).
