Hey there! Very nice gameplay vid. I am David, the developer. Just wanted to clarify about the credits. I do all the programming, writing and game design, but I also have the luck to have worked with a few wonderful artists over these years. I had a lot of fun watching you mince norraxes!
I really like the 1st person to isometric view, it reminds me of the old Dungeons and Dragons gold box games.
@@casualdanattempts my favorite game has always been Pool of Radiance indeed.
Bang up Job davido
You should change the setting so everyone would have to stand on a surf/skateboard to match with 3d animation haha
@@4D_games awesome, I'll pick up a copy of your game today. Knowing your inspiration, I'm pretty excited to give Archaelund a go!
This game looks pretty decent, i like how it goes from first person RPG open world to DnD style combat
This game is from the developer of Exiled Kingdoms, a really good RPG mainly played on mobile. The game has an aesthetic of classic RPG's and the gameplay is fun and simple, but the lore? Jesus Christ the lore is amazing. Beautifully done, I really hope this game reaches the same level of EK and I'm sure about it will!
The first-person exploration in a 3D world and turn-based party combat on a grid give me strong Betrayal at Krondor/Antara vibes. Those games were huge in my childhood, so I'm definitely going to give this a shot. The in-depth character creation looks great, too.
I played Exiled kingdoms on mobile many years ago and loved it. ive been tracking this game since the announcement a couple years ago when EK content was complete. I am glad to see it get attention.
there might even be the undead race at some point in the update.. or 2 (Tol gave up his mortal side and made the Tolassians orderly, after 100 years from the 1st game they now protect mortals against the evils of Orogg, another undead faction)
There definitely aren't enough games that let you play as a Minotaur Gigolo.
As i always say, more minotaur gigolos the better.
So there is enough? Double negative
@@N0UG37 We Minotaurs are like that.
let's normalize minotaurs sex workers, i support them since neverwinter nights
@@dontaccoll omfg.. nah bro you down bad for beefussy
The narrator is giving me old school Icewind Dale vibes. Awesome artwork in that old game too ... Ah nostalgia.
Apex Dangle is the name nobody asked for, but now we can't live without.
Holy cow! I never looked at how far Splattercat has come. It doesn't seem that long ago when he was sick, going through health issues and only had a few hundred thousand subscribers. I have been a fan of Splattercat for years now and he has always been great at what he does. I hope he hits a million subscribers soon. Congrats Splattercat and here's to another 133k subscribers!!! Been a fan for years and look forward to many more years of your commentary.
Exiled Kingdoms was a really great game and now we have Archaelund to bite. I hope this game will gain more attention through this video. And the other games released by the dev
It takes 4AP to attack with a basic 1-hand weapon (sword, mace etc). So making sure your character has 8AP during character creation will help a lot with getting two attacks with a 1-hand weapon. 2-hand weapons (giant swords, giant hammers, etc) can require 5 to 6 AP, which will let you use AP to improve accuracy, but you'll get one attack per turn.
that intro cutscene was so well done!
wow this one looks very interesting. reminds me of wiz 8. love that first person to grid combat transition.
Wizardry, EOB series, Betrayal at Krondor, getting all kinds of familiar vibes from this one, looks cool!
Might&Magic
The environment of this game reminds me of Kenshi and Morrowind.
Also, I noticed in one of your recent videos some people were upset you were no longer including the name of the game in the video titles sometimes and you included the name of the game in the title of this video.
This means you really listen to the audience feedback, Splat. Stay awesome!
I know you virtuously stand with the Current Thing but your Ukraine flag misses you.
@@JanstonCordell BEHOLD! The blinding light of my virtue signal!!!
Or perhaps they support both the plight of the Ukranian and Palestinian people?
The fact that you chose to engage with this and not their comment says more about you than them.
@@SLDimarco The comment had nothing of substance worth commenting on. The flag was way more interesting.
The blade cuts both ways, what does your white knighting say about you?
@@JanstonCordell I'm glad to see people like you mad that we wear Palestine's flag proudly as our avatar.
Thank you for giving us further motivation to continue to support the innocent victims of occupation, wars and greed. It truly is one more good omen that the zionists will lose and get out of the land that was never theirs.
Stay mad, with love.💚
Love the ship design, that is a medieval Caravel, the best compromise between fighting and trading. Got a sternpost though, so slightly more advanced then the Classic was.
I hate the plate mail design on minotaurs, the cuirass should end from the belly button otherwise it looks ridiculous
Looks quite good for a one man team. Quite the "RPG of yesteryear" vibe. Curious as to how this project will evolve.
Glad to see you make a vid about this one! Had it on my wishlist and got the mail yesterday about the early access launch. It's from the guy who made Exiled Kingdoms and looks to be right up my alley so I'm definitely picking it up this week.
This looks fantastic, I can't wait to play this!
Good game, just started letsplaying - the best part so far is that it really has Might & Magic vibes. Also combination of first person exploration and turn-based combat may work good. And the main part for me - there are secrets and skill to find something awesome in dungeons - I love that stuff. Let's hope for great development progress on this one, rare genre and really promising game!
too bad at how rushed it is. the armor and weapons look bad (the plate one mainly, the maul is ridiculous in design)
minotaurs are hossible to play, might as well make them good scouts as they used to live in mazes. the lack of armor isnt worth +1 strenght, even double the food? horrible
Am I the only one who is reminded of fighting mudcrabs outside of Seyda Neen (Morrowind) by the first 20 minutes of this?
Just wanted to say thanks for exposing me to so many great games I might have missed / passed over.
It's appreciated
I'm glad someone who knows how to play this genre of game took a swing, I watched two other vids and they just did not understand the build or how to use the characters they picked and got absolutely annihilated. They left chests behind and then complained about not having armor or weapons. it was awful. Now, on the bright side. This has a lot of potential I really liked the playthrough and it's totally my style of game. I've wish-listed it and Im excited to see where it goes. I would like to see more of it and hope someone will do a series out of it.
Clicking on a torch lights it, either in the character backpack, on when equipped. When lit, a torch will provide a light radius and does fire damage.
I tend to avoid early access games these days, but this looks right up my alley.
I am so behind on Splats videos at the moment, but I'm glad I get some time now and I am glad to see a game like this.
It looks like an old game I used to play back in the day.... of 2010. Lots of potential in this.Ooooh look at the lighting. I dig tactical RPGs.
Character creator gives me Wizardry vibes, which is absolutely a compliment.
I was hyped for a Might&Magic clone... then the overhead turn-based combat, dunno. I wish Jon Van Caneghem still owned the M&M IP. EDIT - Wizardy 8 vibes too minus the combat, def a mix of old school RPG's.
Bought it yesterday.... took me 3 attempts to find a party i liked.... after completing the first dungeon i reaaaaaally like this game. its difficult but its not the tactical aspect that is hard its that camping supplies and gear are hard to come by, so you have to sparingly use your full rests for emergencies and only forage for supplies when resting most of the time... i started ending a fight and resting and ending a fight and resting and that seems to work..... also dont let your 2hander die becuase he cant afford to attack if he does until you full rest but early on with a minotaur you dont really have supplies for a second full rest until you figure out how to harvest supplies from some of the lootables. you almost have to think ahead about when to engage becuase if you can split up all the mobs its alot easier to focus fire and keep your tanks alive while half of them are still traveling to you.. BUT the combat feels balanced, its just item scarecity that makes the game scary becuase you never know if you full rest now and next fight get one of your characters downed if he can recover ... so you end up walking up on a group of mobs thinking ... "do i have to attack them from this angle, is there a way around them to get to that mob first?? or can i wait it out a bit and see if they pat a little bit closer and then hit the little guys from thier back line before the big guy can get to me? AND theres ambushes!...
its really good for anyone that is interested in a game that loosely has a dnd ruleset and is tactical like Homm, but with exploration like skyrim.... im in love and i cant wait to see how it develops but im scared to finish the demo becuase i dont want to spoil the game for myself and get sick of it before its even complete.... also splatty my minotaur is stuck in the falling animation too lol
I got this game a few days ago on the back of splatter's game play and it's a lot of fun. It's amazing considering the game is done by 1 person
Thanks for sharing your channel and great music
This looks really interesting. Thank you splatt!
I like how your crew always has the same people, regardless of the game. Good stuff.
>missed on a 95%
I see this game is going with the XCOM style of accuracy "math."
I like how the battle is just top view of the location where you encounter the enemies
This seems a lot like the betrayal in antara/krondor series from the 90s. Man I loved those back in the day.
I love how you named your party.
I hope the tales of the adventurer that you play in exiled kingdoms gets mentioned in taverns or npcs in archaelund cus that would be cool
that intro was actually quite intriguing 🤔
I'll definitely buy this when it's released... not going to go the EA route though.
You don't need cutting edge game engines, graphics, and hardware to make awesome games. This is absolute proof of that.
It would be lovely to have some personalities for your characters and have them do quips and barks depending on their class and personality. Other than that, seems really fun, a major, old-school M&M vibe, if you played it turn-based instead of spamming keys while wildly running around. I guess Wizardry would be closer, but I played M&M waaaay more.
At one point I used to collect old Gold Box games, even hat Wasteland and Buck Rodgers, by all rights Gold Box games, but I never had Hillsfar, or Dark Queen, but three copies of Silver Blades.
I will judge this game appropriately!
I'm still playing Gedonia, you maniac! You're inflating my backlog so much that Tom Brady is weeping.
Wow, Denis Loubet is an artist name I haven't heard mentioned in a few years. Yeah! his work is terrific!
The goat developer of Exiled Kingdom ? Sign me in!
That swimming is just horrifying tbh. Especially in the dark.
This is hitting that Wizardry 8 nostalgia feel for me. Nice game, needs more time in the oven but it already looks interesting enough.
Reminds me of Wizardry 8 ! love it
i like footstep sounds but i dont want it to overpower the other ambience. also the game looks cool!
Well done bro.
Gonna pick this one up after the show.
Would love to see you stream this one, it's got some really interesting gameplay systems.
You should have kept the lady dress on your minotaur, that was something else 🤣🤣
this is an amazing game highly recommend playing it as well as checking out his previous game an rpg called exiled kingdoms set in the same universe just different timelines
17:08 i'll tell you a secret - it's not one dude, it's many, but they are all named David.
Saw this go live on steam the other day and checked to see if Splat had done a video on it, he had not, but now that has been fixed.
👍👍 looks right up my street!
Love EK - a gem - and cant wait to try this.
Thanks again.
Splatty, survival in dnd makes it so much more fun so I'm with you! I try to incorporate it into every campaign and reward good planning for the players.
14:00 You keep surprising me with your tastes in gaming. I loved managing my arrows in my first D&D campaign years ago. These days everybody skips the details and runs to the next battle. And they act like they're doing you a favor. "Don't worry about rations and ammo. We focus on fun here." ....okay....
Best developer ever! This guy rocks as his game(s).
Around 22:44 ish, if you treat your situation of (3x) lockpick attempts w/ P[success] = 0.88 , P[only succeeding once] + P[succeeding 0 times] = 0.039744 = 3.9744% , so still very low but higher than the 1/144 chance you mentioned.
You have to treat it as a Binomial Distribution with P[success] = 0.88 ; P[failure] = (1-0.88) = 0.12 ; # of Trials = 3 → in this case, P[success
i know its just solo dev early access grit, but the fact that everyone is in an extreme chad pose all the time is actually awesome as hell
This looks like about 50 other free games I played back in the 90's
Looks promising. I like party-based tactical combat, deep rpg elements and open worlds. Why not combine all that into 1?
RPGCodex. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
You're on a ship and after it goes down you find yourself washed up ashore. Wow, how do they come up with scenarios like that.......
that first battle you had reminds me very much of XCOM one of the few games where you can repeatedly miss when you got a 95% hit chance.
Holly... Dat is one good looking game!
Wizardry 8 vibe.
Still waiting on exiled kingdom expansion
First person RPG? With a team of adventurers? And free movement, so not another Legend of Grimlock clone? What year is this??
sign me up!
Very cool.. like kenshi but with path of exile and clash of titans with a strategic range play and survival.. never seen a game like this other than Alon Daar i think. But with block movement settings. Def looks like a great game to get into
Minotaurs are one of my favorites too.
ooh getting might and magic vibes
I found the hidden Mickey at 3:46!
I kinda reminds of Wizardry 8 but you can actually see your whole party
...I was about to send you the name of this game to give me your lights. Damn Splatty, always one step ahead of us huh?
Another game on my Wishlist, thx Splat
more of this, do a play thru!!
I use the alien TTRPG system for rations and supplies. You get a food value and at the end of each day you roll 1d6 for each unit of food you have. You lose a point of food for each 1 that you get.
With my luck i would have zero food after the first night.
Gotta respect a game that gives our bovine brethren love.
Too bad the racial traits suck. For stats it's +3 and -4, which is a net loss of 1. And under "Special Abilities" it's literally 3 penalties with nothing good. The game gives players no reason to choose Minotaur.
@@MarkDeSade100 at this point, I'll take abusive dad who hits us with a hose then tells us to be a man love when it comes to getting playable minotaurs 😂
Incredible ! Could become a ToEE in 3D !
The minotaur is in the chad thundercock stance.
Wow, that is charming. Added to my wishlist
I was waiting for this one for a while, really hoping it will be good
This seems like a great game, i love the games you bring and your gameplay, i Just think It sucks that you always only play them once. I would like to watch more of some awesome games
This has peeked my interest. Thx for the video. Peace
Look as an adventurer you have to accept the risk that there's always a greater the 0% chance of you waking up naked with no weapons...
You'd be surprised how often it happens.
might and magic style i like it
OMG for some reason this brought back an old memory of an old game I use to play. It was base building but only via text and certain races ate double food similar to the minotaur this game. I played it on the computer and I think it was web based game. If anyone remember what this is hit me up pls now I'm curious. One of the mechanics it had was pvp and you raided other peoples cities.
I think it was dwarves required double food conversely you could play undead and need no food etc.
@@dukelornek I guess the previous comment got nuked for having a link, but that sounds like a browser game named Utopia. It's still around.
@@jesskitten After looking at a guide for it I'm 99% sure that is it. Wow! crazy to think that is till around.
@@dukelornek Yeah I used to play it a loooong time ago too. I remember that you used to be able to click a link for 500 free food a day and they'd donate a bushel or plant a tree or something with charity too so all that racial food stuff stuck out to me too.
That moment when you realize the torch can be used as a weapon and yet Splat leaves the healer character weaponless...
Still have their last game in my phone, even if I never finished it lol. Good game.
It's a shame we were not able to see a dungeon in your presentation.
Wishlisted! This game looks awesome, reminds me of Legend of Grimrock, wich i love!!!
It's kinda like second Legend of Grimrock but with separate movement and combat. Kinda my vibe, want to try)
Missed a 95%? What is this, Final Fantasy Tactics? 95% is actually 50% I'm pretty sure.
What they always get wrong, is that they call them “Minotaur”. Just call them Taurus or Tauren. “Mino” is a direct reference to the Minoan people on ancient Crete, during the Bronze Age. You won’t be able to get an English bulldog as well, I presume 😜
Female minotaurs are called cow-girls.
This looks like skyim but turn based combat. Definitely interesting idea
