"Arakion looks very similar to Bastion, except it is rendered in 3D and has more traditional RPG elements (a party system, complex skills and character customization, and so on) that make it unique." | Explosion.com
The Plagued Gamer writes: "Chris Taylor (no, not THAT Chris Taylor) has been within the games industry for some time now. Having worked on various major projects that are still under NDA, he obtains the required skill set to create his very own world; one he calls Arakion. Set in the style of games like Legend of Grimrock, Arakion ditches the conventional style of role-playing games in favor of a more unique feel. To help explain even more, Chris Taylor takes the time out of his busy schedule to answer some stirring questions about the game and reveals some exciting upcoming events."
IGM writes: "Since the release of Legend of Grimrock earlier this year, we’ve had a bet on that many games similar to it would be popping up. We’ve already seen an in-development take on the tile-based RPG based in space, now we’ve found one with a lighter and more colorful fantasy theme. Arakion is being developed by Chris Taylor who knew nothing of Unity 3D or even programming a month ago, now he’s created something pretty impressive. Maybe some of us are just naturals."
