Been following this one for a while, the pixel art is some of my favorite

The Herald moves across a procedurally generated map which is divided into regions related to different worlds. He visit various locations communicating, fighting, and trading with other inhabitants. The Herald desperately explores the environment trying to obeying the call of the Core. Mistakes are not allowed because the score is ruled by permadeath. Although the Core will resurrect the Herald, the old world will be lost forever, and you will have to start the exploration of an absolutely new planet - an equivalent of a new game beginning.

It combines procedural roguelite gameplay with RPG aspects such as dialogue and NPC interactions, and has weird characters to play rather than your typical classes

===

As a player, you act as one of the seven Heralds, each of whom comes from a particular world destroyed by the Shift. The Heralds do not tend to be ordinary characters: they are unique from the perspective of each other as we as compared to common action\RPG heroes. So let's get to know them better

Each Herald has a unique pool of objects which is not available to other characters. Consequently, everyone has an exclusive playstyle and development. Besides, each artifact provides an impact on characters' appearance. And since the order and number of objects are totally random, each new trial is characterized by a unique character's look.

Looks really nice, intrigued. Was ready to jump into this topic and blast yet another indie game for going with pixel art, but this looks really, really good. Differs from other pixel art games, a bit rougher animation-wise etc., but something about it tickles my fancy.

 

[HellBlazer]

Cool artstyle, pretty awesome character design, intriguing setting, nice music...

...But for fuck's sake, indies, not everything needs to be roguelike. -_-

 

[Decado]

Combat and animation looks like it has a long way to go and procedural levels/roguelike...I will need some convincing when it comes out.

But pretty...definitely.

I came here to post this exact thread, but should have known More_Badass (I think you and are somehow connected at the brain to the same art styles) had already posted it.

UnDungeon is funded!!!



Hope they get some of their Stretch Goals. Seems like an amazing project.

 

[Messofanego]

Those are some cool character designs.

 

[maxcriden]

I saw on GoNintendo that they've got a Switch stretch goal.

 

[Sesuadra]

how did I miss this. sounds awesome.
if it hits the switch stretch goal I'll back it.

 

[Comandr]

Holy shit. I totally missed this somehow and it looks awesome. Backed!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Just saw this on Kotaku and it looks bonkers. Love how crazy it all sounds. Probably going to back it.

Agreed. There have been so many amazing looking indie games that have lost my interest immediately by mentioning the words "roguelike" or "procedurally generated".

 

[nailbombxx]

I'm going to have to applaud the artists behind this project. The art direction nails that weird sci-fi atmosphere completely, really eyecatching.

Considering how every non-Shovel Knight Wii U/3DS kickstarter went it's not worth the risk.

Hand-crafted content takes way more time and work than creating an algorithm. Indie devs probably see it as a choice between making a very short game or making an infinite game. Considering how much a short playtime impacts the value of a game, the choice is clear for most.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

The rogue-like part put me off a bit, but it looks like a lot of stuff actually does carry over and the experience both changes dramatically and is affected by prior play throughs. When it doesn't, that's when I get disinterested.

 

[MartyStu]

Not a huge fan of Rogue-Lites, but this looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Shmuppers]

Wow, looks really similar to Hyper Light Drifter. I'm in

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

Looks good. Ill buy it when it's released in 6 years.

 

[outunderthestars]

Somehow missed this one. Backed!

 

[Hastati]

This is totally that angel from Evangelion.

Really like the art, will keep an eye on this one.

I know what you mean, but it's not every. Plenty still came to the system. I was just posting about how great Elliot Quest is, earlier today.

 

[Sesuadra]

30 Hours to go if someone still wants to back it

 

[MartyStu]

Backed. This is like the fourth KS I have backed. Hope it turns out as good as the others!

 

[1upsuper]

Wow, this pixel art is great. I love a good rogue-like. I really like challenging RLs that force you to really learn how the games work and don't let you just stumble through. I need a challenge.

 

[Nikodemos]

I love the unconventional heroes. Very few such games feature people other than regular human/elves/dwarves/dwarves/etc.

OBTW, there was another pixel art game with similar unconventional pseudo-lovecraftian aesthetics in development. Does anyone know that one's name?
