Exzore: The Rising Kickstarter Campaign Launched

Exzore: The Rising, an open world action-RPG we’ve covered briefly in the past, has now appeared on Kickstarter with a modest initial goal of £50,000. Apart from an unpronounceable name, the game will have a dynamic world, modular crafting, a complex faction system, and other things that can immediately put a game on any RPG enthusiast’s radar. The project’s campaign page describes the game’s features in detail, but here’s the short version:

Set in the medieval world of Eogaan, the game follows Damien Clive, former commander of the Exzore army unit, as he is emerges from the ashes of his betrayal to seek retribution and regain his honor. Exzore: The Rising features the use of “mechanical gadgets” which give special abilities to the hero and can be used in combat and exploration. The game also features a unique Affinity system, which affects the player’s experience and how the story unfolds as the character interacts with the game world and the various factions, as well as an extensive combat system that allows players to mix and match Exzore abilities in a wide variety of combos.

Eogaan is split into four factions, each with its own community and rules. As you play, your interactions between the different factions will affect the game’s story and how it progresses. Favor any faction of your choice to get special missions, rewards, benefits, and abilities. Each faction has its own motivations and agendas. The Affinity parameter will be altered as a consequence of player’s choices in game. Every mission will alter affinity, increasing toward one and decreasing toward another. Affinities are important because they directly affect the character and mission progression, and play an important role in gameplay experience. Choose your faction and actions wisely, as they may alter how the story ends.

Key features of the game include:
