Aliens, Trolls & Dragons Interview

Kubold’s episodic action-adventure title Aliens, Trolls & Dragons is the subject of a recent interview on VRFocus, and despite the virtual reality focus of the website, it mostly focuses on the gameplay elements of the title. So far, I’m not seeing any sign of RPG elements, but the premise is interesting:

VRFocus: How are you managing the balance between technology and fantasy?

Jakub Kisiel: Having guns makes you almost invincible, when you are confronting the castle guards. However, there are many of them and you are alone. Also, this is an alien planet, you never know what else is out there. Let me just say, that technology and gadgets will give you a fighting chance. Also, who says there needs to be a balance?

VRFocus: How do you strike a balance between melee combat and shootouts?

Jakub Kisiel: I like variety. There will be plenty of situations, that will give the player a choice, how will he deal with the enemies on the way. Player will have to decide if he should save ammo for later, or just shoot. Some situations will be more than obvious.
