TwoDashStash's Blane talks to John Mueller and Sam Gage from Skyshine games as they share their adventures in creating Bedlam, a strategic single-player, roguelike, turn-based, role-playing game that utilizes The Banner Saga’s engine to bring its game world to life.
The game’s atmosphere comes across as very Borderlands-esque, with its hand-drawn artstyle and cast of wacky characters. It basically plays like Chess with guns.
Neil writes "The month of March is coming to an end and April will soon be in full swing. That probably means payday is just around the corner too and so where better to spend your latest wages than with the new Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight sale? Take a look at the full list of bargains available for both Xbox One and Xbox 360 players between the 28th March and 3rd April 2017. It's a pretty good week...especially if you like your wrestling."
Independent developer Skyshine Games in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil, today announced that turn based strategy game Skyshine’s BEDLAM has undergone a major update, with improved gameplay mechanics and several new features, all based on months of community feedback.
If it were for its gameplay alone, Bedlam would probably be regarded as a lacking first-person shooter that would have been better if it were released 30 years ago, but when you throw in its surprisingly good storytelling and amazing sense of atmosphere, it becomes an adventure worth embarking upon
I like the look of this game. We need more games that are based on novels! I love Metro 2033 and I want to see more people adapting novels into games
Yeah, if done right, there's a ton of untapped potential in the novel department!
Seen review scores all over the spectrum for Bedlam, but I think any developer should be applauded for trying something different, even if it doesn't quite hit the mark.
I'm getting this in a few years once I finish Fallout 4 and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
