Review of Runic Game’s Hob

First Off, for those just here for a review of Hob :: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w78z6QHDNIs (Also, we had a lovely guest speaker for this episode) Secondly, So, we’re a day late on our review posting (I’m Sorry) - we had to put in a -frantic- amount of overtime to get it out- though ideally, we should be getting a timely review for next week -and-, a podcast to boot. :) And with that said, This is Arly, signing off.

Kickstartin' It - Balrum - Early Alpha Gameplay Kickstartin' It is a series where I search out the interesting finds in the depths of the Kickstarter site, and bring you content/information/interviews/demonstrations of the works being developed - so you can get a better idea of what you're getting into before taking the leap on donating to a new kickstarter. I'm unsure as of yet how far I plan to take the series, so be sure to provide input in that regard so I can refine this series into something we all can enjoy :). +++++ Balrum is an interesting hybrid of a game - with an elaborate crafting system, surface building system, turn based combat (with a nice seamless transition between 'real time movement' and 'turn based combat' - kudos on smoothing that out so early guys). Exploration, multi-chapter story. There is also a leveling system, and have to say if this is just the 'early alpha', definitely looking forward to seeing later generations of it. My wishlist? Sandbox mode and multiplayer, but as a proof of concept, Balrum looks like it will be a fun singleplayer game with a solid chapter system, and a lot of variety. Want my quick 'inappropriate comparison'? If Terraria was a side-scroller action platformer minecraftesque game, Balrum is a turn-based story driven isometric RPG minecraftesque game (I told you it was an inappropriate comparison :P). Back.this.game. For me :P (I wanna play it lol - the early alpha was above and beyond my expectations) Kickstarter Link: http://kck.st/17bEsRA +++++ Twitter: http://bit.ly/14L9GUS Facebook: http://on.fb.me/17oHweo Twitch: http://bit.ly/14L9Ewc Intro Music by Sgt Travler: http://bit.ly/17oHweq http://bit.ly/14L9Ewg I am in no way, shape, or form affiliated with Kickstarter, this is just a project I wanted to do to promote new kickstarters - as I like the idea of promoting people's ideas and dreams.
