Looks like the developer Radical Fish Games is planning to bring us another legendary RPG.
The creators of a very well-received CrossCode are working on a new project, Alabaster Dawn. The game is an action RPG with a top-down perspective and pixel art graphics.
If you’re not familiar with CrossCode, I highly recommend checking it out before Alabaster Dawn is released. Similarly to the revealed new title, CrossCode is an action RPG, set in the world of the distant future, where you find tons of quests, monsters, NPCs, and all that other RPG stuff.
The thing is, the developers nailed every aspect of an RPG game, giving us one of the best indie RPGs out there. While it did not become extremely popular, it is a hidden gem in the indie world, and fans are praising its fantastic story, world, and gameplay. CrossCode has fantastic reviews and is available on every platform, even Linux, for just about $20. And believe me, it’s worth it.
Now, the developer decided to take a shot at a more classic-styled RPG, with a fantasy setting. There are a lot of similarities to CrossCode from what we can see in the reveal trailer, and I’m completely fine with it, as long as Alabaster Dawn has its own identity. From what I saw in the trailer, it surely does.
The game will feature similar 2D-style pixel art graphics and a top-down camera perspective. Visually, it looks stunning. You can see the game is a labor of love, and not only from the visual standpoint. The mechanics seem to be spot on, just like in its predecessor. There will be lots of melee and magic combat, quests, riddles to solve, and much more, I presume. Oh, and the boss fights look awesome. The big baddies are beautifully designed and animated.
After such a fantastic game as CrossCode, Radical Fish Games, have my full support and trust. Alabaster Dawn has no official release date and platform availability, but you can wishlist it on Steam right now. Plus, I would be surprised if it wouldn’t be available on every platform. Can’t wait to play!
