This voxel-based adventure is ”Zelda meets Super Breakout” where players must evict the forces of evil from the various ”castles, keeps, and fortresses” dotting the land.
There are RPG elements too as we unlock new skills which let us explore new areas. We’ll be exploring the world, and wrecking most of it, in the name of all that’s just.
”The original Castle Breakers Kickstarter failed to gain the momentum needed to propel it to success. I took in all of the feedback that came my way and made a number of changes in order to reboot and relaunch. Most important was really broadcasting the pre order pledge amount, which is $10,” announced Black Black Beast’s Alan Noon.
”Also, eliminating mobile platforms and targeting a PC release allowed me to lower the funding goal, as it will save me several thousands of dollars in equipment costs. In addition, the rewards have been streamlined, the stretch goals have been more clearly defined, and more effort was put into describing the RPG elements of game play.”
What’s Castle Breakers all about? The Kickstarter says…
The forces of evil have overrun the kingdom and taken up residence in the many castles, keeps, and fortresses that dot the land. You are the last of the Castle Breaker Knights, called upon to drive these villians from the world with your sword and mystical wrecking ball.
Traverse a voxellated fantasy world, acquiring skills and equipment that unlock passage to new areas.
