Lords of Xulima is a new indie game
from Numantian Games, which embraces the classic gameplay style of
Baldur's Gate, with a little bit of Wizardry-esque turn-based combat.
The premise of the game game is that you are the one chosen by the
gods to restore balance to the world.
Lords of Xulima has the isometric view
we've come to enjoy from the genre. Combat is easy to grasp, you can
harvest things for crafting, and there is an in-game journal to keep
track of your quests (and there is a LOT to do in the game).The voice acting is great, there's crafting, and you can save the game pretty much anywhere (which is great for people who have real-world responsibilities and can't devote hours upon hours to each gaming session). You also have to keep track of the food your party is carrying - which I think is a neat mechanic for games of this nature.
In the past few months alone, we've
seen fantastic RPGs like Divinity: Original Sin and Wasteland 2 hit
the market, along with revamped classics like Icewind Dale and the
Baldur's Gate franchise. In a world of first-person shooters and
sidecrollers (both of which I enjoy wholeheartedly), it's great to
see some developers keeping the classic RPG genre alive and fresh
with games like Lords of Xulima. Do yourselves a favor and check it
out today!
