According to a recent update in their Kickstarter page, the developers will bring some new designer to help them if they hit the $2.5 million goal. Let us remind you that Obsidian’s Chief Creative Officer, Chris Avellone, will help in the development of the game if the Kickstarter campaign hits the $2.1 million mark."
KeenGamer: "Where has the cRPG genre gone? The classic and complex genre has found its way from obscurity into the world of the massively popular Nintendo Switch. Can these old games (and their subsequent successors) get a new lease on life with the hybrid console? There's a number of signs that point to yes."
I do think handhelds are great for classic-style games, so why not CRPGs? The Switch is definitely ideal for that.

Well, I highly recommend Kingdom Come: Deliverence, and Planescape Torment, if you have an Xbox.
The first being one of the freshest, most in-depth open world RPGs I've played in a long time. Just a great game in general. Planescape Torment is simply a classic, with amazing writing, great character progression that actually affects the world, and a lot of player agency on how you tackle things. You also get Icewind Dale. Also a great game, but not nearly as good, in my opinion.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of good games offering the sale for the PS4, unfortunately.

I'm gonna have to start staying away from these type of articles since there's always a chance I'll buy at least 2 games and in the current state that the world is in, I'm about to be a father so i gotta prioritize my son but goddamn I'd buy at least 5 games from this list.
Mutant Year Zero (shown), is a good little game if you like Xcom style combat.
The goal posts keep moving
If all these Kickstarter games announced lately aren't any good when released... many people are going to be pissed.
I prefer to wait and see if these games are any good, before supporting the developers.
The way I see it, if there was a game announced by a big-name developer like Ken Levine, Shiguru Miyamoto, Nomura, Kojima, etc., people would sit up and pay attention. This is no different. These games are being developed by industry vets. There's no real reason not to have faith that they'll turn out ok.
