I found some aspects of it even somewhat feminist compared to a lot of fantasy!

I dunno, I played neopets years and years ago but I recall the battle system being something like this.

I'm waiting for the Enhanced Version (or whatever) in May before I play it, but I've heard mainly good things. There are too few dedicated PC developers these days, so to hear of a more obscure independent one making a name for themselves and surviving makes me happy and hopeful.

They have a thing called Mobius Arena which is pretty much this same thing, but less dark and gritty. The superdudes site is geared towards kids, but the Mobius Arena is just like this.

"To stop from feeling lonely" just didn't have the same ring to it.

It's essentially dumb luck until you gain some experience, go up a few levels, add some new skills and buy new weapons. That's when your stats and abilities and such come into play. Since we're in beta testing right now, we'll be looking for a lot of feedback to make it more fun.

These guys are also completely updated The Witcher which had interface design flaws. Hopefully more people will pick up maybe the best RPG of last year.

Not knocking the game until I try it, but it seems like it would benefit from not being an all-at-once shot, although I guess anything less would take a while over e-mail.

Three thoughts, in order:

1) Meh
2) That's a lot of..... swords......
3) Is that dude throwing up on that other dude?
