This may be called Dungeon Hero "but it could more accurately be called Dungeon Psychopath," says Firefly's lead designer Simon Bradbury.
"After all, anyone who goes into a cold dungeon with a sword to kill things has something wrong." That makes complete sense, of course, and is Dungeon Hero all over: applying logic to the ludicrous.
MyGaming's Tarryn van der Byl writes: "Although gamers assume that gaming journalists spend most of our time sitting around playing free games in our undies and cashing big cheques from publishers for favourable reviews, the biggest part of the job is actually writing about games that haven’t even come out yet. Or, in some cases, never turn up at all, despite all that time and effort we’ve put into telling everybody about them."
Hmmm...not sure why the poster of this article used the challenger explosion as the image header. I mean I get why but thinks it's kinda sucky...:/
The list missed out The Grinder as well. That looked like an awesome game. the Wii's answer to Left4Dead. There were gameplay videos and everything, I couldn't wait to play it and now years later nothing has come of it.
me too, I wonder what happened to it.. I mean the gameplay videos have music, voice overs, usually that stuff is added really late to the game..
Now, here comes Firefly Studio's Dungeon Hero. This is NOT a game where your budding Hero goes down into a dungeon in order to garner fame and haul some wealth back to some village or town. This is a setting where your character strives to become the Hero of the dungeon's _residents_. That is, to save and serve the Goblins that built the dungeon in the first place. (What? You think all that stone got carved out on it's own?) Like every other flipped-over fantasy RPG, the dungeon dwellers are provided substantially more depth than you would ever see in a regular fantasy RPG.
G4TV writes: "Firefly Studios co-founder and lead game designer Simon Bradbury gives the latest news on their upcoming action RPG, Dungeon Hero.
Unlike many dungeon-based titles, where the player's perspective is based on the protagonist, this title focuses "from the perspective of the inhabitants" which are the goblins. As the "hero", players will explore a dark and gritty dungeon, occupied by an underground society of goblins and other mythical creatures lurking beneath the shadows."
I hope this game turns out well. I really liked the concept trailer and am looking forward to the game kinda in a way like I was looking forward to Overlord. I loved Overlord so heres hoping this game can come out as well or even better.
