Eschalon Info

Eschalon, an RPG from developer Basilisk, has been generating a bit of a buzz around many of the indie RPG sites. It's recently been brought to my attention that we haven't done any coverage of this game, so I thought I'd make note of it here. After all, it's looking like a pretty solid title, and we always wish the best of luck to indie developers out there!

Eschalon is set to be a trilogy, with the first title Eschalon: Book I currently being developed. The game promises a high level of strategy in a tile-built, turn-based game world where the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined. Eschalon also promises unlimited character development based on 24 unique skills and 8 character attributes.

Old school fans will definately want to keep their eye out of Eschalon: Book I as it seems to be shaping up to be a traditional, yet epic adventure in the vein of titles such as Wizardy, Fallout and Ultima. The official site below has plenty of info on the game along with some nice looking screens to give you an idea of what to expect. Also, don't forget to check out the impressive trailer of Eschalon on GameTrailers.
