Lichdom is a single-player action adventure intended to introduce gamers to the vast and varied world of Roth where magic is celebrated, feared, and omnipresent. To better deliver a kinetic experience, the game-play camera is first-person but the magic system is designed carefully to deliver a connection to the player’s destructive and manipulative power not found commonly in a “shooter.” We are ensuring that our players will feel everything.
The system driving combat and magic is designed from the ground up to deliver an emergent spell-casting experience in worlds tailored to allow for experimentation and re-playability. The player is trained in the use of these systems through quests tailored to feel seamless with the environment. Hundreds of encounters with the corruption of this world encourage a player to build and test their magic creations. Each new region challenges the player with visceral combat and rewards them with magics of increasingly varied effect. With skill and creativity these abilities can be combined to create organic synergies that unleash far more devastating destruction. All of these systems and stories are designed to deliver an experience unique to each player as they choose how to craft their own mage, own their experience, and rid the world of its demonic corruption.

TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
Yeah, I specifically didn't mention Skyrim, though lol because I doubt it will have its depth RPG/World wise. I think it will be closer to the games I mentioned above which is not bad at all ;P I've been waiting for something like this,something without tiring world exploration, with fun magic combat system and some rpg elements for quite some time Something to spend time on after work without the need to immerse into the setting and story.
Someone saw them Elder Scrolls Skyrim sales an obvious 'role model'.
Since it's not even open world it's probably closer to Bioshock or Crysis but in a fantasy setting.
Like Dark Messiah, as Wicked said. This and Hellraid look like they *could* be brilliant... if done right :\ So far this one has a budget feel to it while Hellraid is the more professional looking one.
when I see the trailers of this game, though it looks good, I don't get the "indie"-feeling from it.
Me too.
I labelled it " indie" because it is developed by a small independent company. But, I dunno, maybe I should remove "indie" coz as you rightfully mentioned it doesn't look indie at all.
That's a good thing on its own, though, isn't it? My understanding is that indie games are praised for being innovative or at least highly entertaining despite having subpar visuals etc.; if you take a good indie game and technically improve its presentation, maybe you wouldn't call it indie anymore but it would still be a great game
Generally speaking of course - I don't really know anything about this game.
The thing that sets us apart from any game is our approach to crafting. Magic is really your only tool. Because of this, our crafting of spells is a very deep and engaging exercise. The initial Spell Cores handed to you by the game are few in number but fundamentally different from each other. The player grows in power by taking these Spell Cores and adding other reagents to craft new spells in unique ways.
Lichdom is influenced by the components of three different video games. First, our gameplay is most heavily influenced by Borderlands. The action, the way the enemies behave, the approach to level design and our encounters are all reminiscent of that gameplay. Secondly, our boss encounters are influenced by Dark Souls, where large-scale enemies rely on abilities they can chose to employ at random, rather than heavily scripted events you might see in other large-boss games. And finally, our loot collection is most heavily influenced by Diablo, where you collect varieties of rare and powerful items and use those items to grow in strength as you progress through the game.
Hmm.. so much magic... pfff.... guy running around in dress.... I WANT STEEL.
Anyways... might be fun. I just hope that this Dark Soul influence will not show up in controls...

Honestly I can't wait for this, reason one, I fucking love magic, in each game I can I take the magic patch, and now a game with magic and CryEngine3 visuals? Fuck me, I'm sold

Feel the same way, I always try to play a magic oriented class in a game where I have that choice. Really looking forward to this..
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
What the point if YT downmixes everything to stereo/join stereo AAC?
EDIT: downloaded and listened separately from YT player - nope, I hear no damn difference, Even in headphones. Still, invisible improvement is an improvement!

. It looks really promising.
