When a developer lists X-Com, Jagged Alliance, Fallout, Baldur’s Gate, and Civilization as the influences for their game it’s hard not to sit up and take notice. These are all games that are permanent fixtures on any decent “greatest games of all time” list, so the developers certainly have their work cut out for them. Called Graywalkers: Purgatory, this 3rd person RPG uses strategic and turn-based tactical elements to immerse players in a supernatural post-apocalyptic world.

The game is set after an event called “The Rupture” that somehow merged heaven, hell and Earth into one place. As the leader of the “Graywalkers” players will have to explore this realm and unite the 36 “Hidden Ones” in order to reclaim the world for humanity. It is certainly a very intriguing backstory and leaves a lot of room for some imaginative locations and enemies.

Developed by Las Vegas and Manila based studio, Dreamlords, Graywalkers: Purgatory promises 3 modes of play, avatar customization, different races, more than 40 playable NPCs, strategic management, factions, special abilities and a whole lot more. Players will get to face off against cultists, gangers, demons, fallen angels, werewolves, zombies and all manner of other supernatural creatures. The game will also offer different paths/classes for party members, including soldiers, agents, arcanist, armsman, diviners, martialist and many others.

The pre-alpha demo available from the Kickstarter page offers a small glimpse of the combat in the game and features two different scenarios to try out. In “Demon Hellgate Assault” players get to take on a huge demon and its minions, while “Necromancer Cult Assault” is a showdown in a graveyard. While obviously still very early, it is already very clear from the demo that the game is going to be a lot of fun to play. The developers have promised that the full release will also have story based side quests in addition to procedurally generated territorial disputes.

The game is currently nearing its Kickstarter goal, but there are still a few days left to get in on the action and bag yourself some nice rewards as well. You can also download the pre-alpha demo from the Kickstarter page to check it out for yourself. Although it is too early to tell if the developers will be able to achieve all their goals for the game, it is certainly looking promising enough. If Dreamlords can accomplish what they are setting out to do with Graywalkers: Purgatory role playing fans are in for a treat.

Kriophobia claims to be a new take on Survival Horror which, while inspired by the core concepts of the genre, isn’t afraid to pull out a few surprises. The game made it through the Steam Greenlight process in only 13 days, but its Kickstarter campaign could do with a lot more attention. The game will allow players to take control of a geologist named Anna who got herself stuck on an island in northern Russia. Her study of seismic activity brought her to this remote area, but it is a solitude that she has sought out herself. It would appear that Anna is haunted by events from her past which is why she shuns civilization. However, when she falls into a sealed military complex by accident Anna has to save her colleagues while also confronting whatever it is lurking in the dark.
