One life and score points in a dungeon RPG crawler game you say? Is this a game from the 90s? Nope, because the game in question just happens to be Hit the Crow´s "Sunken"! And I (Jonas Ek, The Gaming Ground) had the great pleasure to play the alpha demo not so long ago. So this is my take on that very demo of "Sunken".
Carston Anderson writes: "The two founded Hit the Crow studio out in Serbia and set out to, quote, "make awesome games and not settle for anything less." To assist them in this noble endeavor the duo turned towards the public, the average consumer lurking on Indiegogo hoping to find something that strikes their fancy. On October 12th of this year the campaign closed, having raises $299 of their $10,000 goal. The campaign to fund Sunken was sunk."
A great look at Indie Games again Death Trash & Sunken on MGL and was first published on the Bare Knuckle Development Blog on 22nd September 2015. Written by Tony Leavy, Director,Writer and Designer at Bare Knuckle Development currently working on their epic sidescrolling RPG adventure indie game, The Flawless: Arts Tale.
It´s not every day that I (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) see a game that looks and feels like a mix of “Dwarf Fortress” and “X-COM”. However, that´s exactly the case with the deep-sea building simulator and managing game "Sunken".
In other words, a modern version of Diablo 2´s hardcore mode?
