BEDLAM

A post-apocalyptic roguelike RPG featuring our unique blitz battle system - Inspired by great games like The Banner Saga, FTL and XCOM

Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/skyshinegames/bedlam

Web: www.gobedlam.com

BEDLAM is a strategic single-player roguelike role-playing game, created for the PC and Mac utilizing 'The Banner Saga' engine.

The player is cast as the mysterious Mechanic, the last known member of a once-thriving guild of brilliant inventors, intrepid travelers and operators of the rolling fortresses called Dozers.

As the Mechanic, you are in charge of commanding your crew in battles, managing your resources, improving your Dozer, interacting with various characters, and protecting your passengers while navigating through the post-apocalyptic wasteland known as Bedlam.

Features:

• RPG with roguelike influences and features, including randomly generated environments and encounters, meaningful "permadeath", three different supplies to manage, and incredible replay value.
  
• Our exclusive blitz battle system! Innovative turn-based combat with swift play, no turn-order, strategic movement and attacks, crew-buffing Dozer upgrades, and tide-changing Dozer weapons!
  
• Dozers, the gargantuan rolling fortresses covered in armor and weapons to protect passengers and crew during the journey through Bedlam.
  
• Four unique enemy factions: Marauders, Mutants, Cyborgs and the A.I. - all with their own strengths and weaknesses.
  
• “Double-Down” (a New game+): Travel back through Bedlam for the opportunity to defeat merciless overlord King Viscera and his minions for untold riches... or the sacrifice of everything!

Seeing as how it's a kickstarter thing (with an 09/15 delivery date) I'd say the later.

[SharpKris]

given i really like the art style and the idea of it all i'm tempted to invest but because of all the recent KS bullshit i've been dealing with (CEX) i'd rather wait

[Kaje]

Want want want want want.

Oi I though the old game was getting a revival, but nope. 

EDIT:
For reference, this old game :

No, Banner Saga is a single player branching story RPG.  There is a FTP / PTW tactical spinoff that is just the combat part of the game with a ladder / leader board.

Not sure which this is supposed to be more like.

I don't mind linear campaign too much but it also would benefit from allowing "downtime" from the campaign. For example there's this Fire Emblem game I played (not sure which one, Gameboy Advance I think), more or less linear, no random encounters AFAIK, yet at some point you're given the option to explore a ruin (or more) as many times as you want going to deeper and more difficult levels.

Even Final Fantasy Tactics was super-linear but you could just hang around and have random battles and increase skills and stuff. Pretty sure the GBA version of FFT2 FFT Advance had limited quests but I'm not sure, I heard somewhere at some point there were random unlimited quests. Hm, now I have to make sure

One reason I haven't got BS yet is because I'm not too fond of games that tell me I have a limited number of battles to fight.

[puke]

it wouldn't work with unlimited random battles.  part of the engagement in the story comes from the ideas that the battles are hard, have permadeath, and it tries to prevent save-scumming.

If someone bites it, it has repercussions to the story.

Thats why the unlimited random battle game is a standalone F2P product.

[Sergius]

Well, it would be nice if that one wasn't multiplayer only.

Maybe a skirmish mode with AI opponents.

[puke]

Oh, didn't realize that.  Lame.

[blazing glory]

So....I may have just missed it somewhere but does anyone have any idea who Rasputin Lazarus exactly is?
