Hey folks, the developers have announced they are no longer supporting this title and pulling it from steam. Do not purchase the game, and if you did you should request a refund from steam asap before they pull it on july 30th.
@@ShevaiAsan Could be the devs intended the game to actually be played that way, the ship comes to a halt and you are free to do whatever you want until you wish to proceed, discovering hidden paths and whatnot without stressing about the moving ship.
The only game I'm aware of would be Dark Cloud, which was for the PS(2?). Basically, you would go into dungeons, find buildings/people, and then could plant them in your city.
That came out about 8 years earlier though, so, I don't think that's what would be hanging around, and I wouldn't say the guys behind Professor Layton are exactly indie.
There is a number of games that combine the premise of a single adventurer fighting monsters and coming back to build up a town. My favorites are Tilted Mill's Hinterlands, and Soldak's Zombasite. The former is a lot simpler, and the latter much more involved. In Hinterlands, you choose a class at the start, which gives you only a few bonuses and maluses to things like attack speed and food production, while in Zombasite you can play one of multiple classes with elaborate skills, and even mix your own class from existing skill sets. Both games involve both going out to kick ass and get resources, and coming back to fight off an attack on your holding. In both, you choose to hire, equip and assign to tasks different NPC types, and they can die during an attack. Both games are WELL worth playing. ------------------------ By the way, I think the game Splattercat remembers is one of the earlier Soldak games, that also involved the same premise, but with fewer dungeons and surface areas, and much fewer NPC villagers features. From the time frame (2008) it could be Depth's of Peril... and if it was later, then it may have been Din's Curse. Those are great as well, although Depths is dated. Din's Curse is a total gem even today, if you can get past the blocky graphics.
I love the concept, it's very original. A game where you have to build a resort from the ground up after you cleared the wildlife and stuff i have never seen before, the game looks good too. Awesome stuff as usual Splat, you always find something interesting!
1:02 You may be thinking of Depths of Peril by Soldak Entertainment. Myself, I'm reminded of Hinterland, released 2008 by Tilted Mill Entertainment. It's still one of my all-time fav indies.
I remember playing the demo for this, and being whelmed. It was an interesting premise, but there was obvious telegraphing of a grind-a-thon, and the progression model was absolutely something out of a freemium mobile game. Basically it felt like a time sink looking for a premise to put on like a costume, and found one that sort of fit but not really.
I remember you making a very very early impressions of this title a a year or two years ago. Nice to see how far they've come with the development of this game. The graphical style looks very professional.
Same here. Couldn't remember the action-rpg part, but when i saw the base building part i was like , i am sure i've seen this before and by Splatty. Glad to see devs keep working on it.
Combination RPG and City Builder is exactly my jam, and a game like that which doesn't skimp on the City Builder half while still maintaining the strength of the RPG half is something I've been looking for for a very long time.
Is the game you are thinking about Hinterland? Edit: Remember playing that around 2008 and I do believe it had a limited physical release. Action rpg, go out and kill mobs, go back build your little town, defend against invasions.
I believe the game you are thinking about is "The Spatials" and "The Spatials : Galactology" ... go on missions, collect resources, build a base for visitors, and recruit staff, all in a sci-fi environment.
The game you're thinking about is likely Judgement apocalypse, you have to build a city and go explore a big map, but there's many games like that, Necesse is one of the best examples, it's amazing. Terraria, core keeper, starbound, dragon quest builders 2 are also games like that. Realms of magic, hammerhelm as well. Forager and Keplerth are also amazing games.
Splattercat, do you remember a store chain called "Player 2"? That's the store in which I first saw advertising for my favorite JRPG Chrono Cross, and discovered that I love playing video games.
Ya I collected video-games for a longtime myself😂at least that's what I called it.🤔I still have a closet full of them, maybe they will be worth something someday. Oh the oriinal M&B, I was a backer/tester on the original😅we had to download iso's for play-testing new builds, wow that was a long time ago. Have a great day.👍
I bought this when it launched in early access. The action is good but the stages for it are short, like they were designed for a mobile game, and the city builder stuff operated similarly. They may have improved this in the year since then though
It seems like the base building is pretty well done. The missions seem to be a little bit undercooked but not too bad. Seems like the challenge level is at about the right level for a game based around resource management and city building... but the pace of the action is a little on the slow side while you're on a mission, compared to other action-RPG looter-shooters. But yeah it's an interesting game.
reminds me of the first pc game i found in a pawn shop/card shop. it was the original large box of Asheron’s Call. just the single box speaking to me 😂
Back in my day, only Team Fort Classic had a minigun shotgun. Back when everything was polygon, and we liked it that way. Oh, time for my heart meds... Urk...
I don't mind a time-chunking system to help gatekeep progress. Break it down to things require X units of time taken from a total available -- same but different I guess? I prefer it over energy though
I would always prefer to have a voice acting rather than sitting and reading, like I remember when TB (may you rest in peace) did a video about SUNLESS SEA and he was narrating the game I jumped and bought it immediately without knowing that my voice sound bad in my head like George 🙂
Dude. With how many skills & perks you have that require crits, you should put points into Science because it increases your crit chance & crit damage, according to what I saw on your screen.
looks very similar to riftbreaker. but with more town building. not sure what game you were talking about. theres a bunch it could be. not dragonquest builder?
4:55 Serviceable voice acting that is not overdoing it or cringe is all i ask and honestly i too prefer it. Of course if you can't do it either for budget reasons or lack of ok voice actor. Then it's understandable. But man, i hate reading.
I've been keeping an Eye on this game for nearly a Year now? It does open up quite a bit in the later Stages of the Story and also throws a few new Enemies your way but the Devs went from posting semi-regular Updates to complete and utter silence since August this year with the latest Update bringing in AI NPC's. Here's to hoping they sort themselves out and polish it off before they get out of Early Access. It'd be a shame if they didnt because there is quite a bit of meat here that i'd rather not see going to waste

If you buy it you will still be able to download and play it, just FYI.
Splat finishing the whole level while the ship is stuck behind a rock hurt me.
This. I was almost yelling at my screen "Go back god damnit, you left the objective with a blocked path!"
@@ShevaiAsan Could be the devs intended the game to actually be played that way, the ship comes to a halt and you are free to do whatever you want until you wish to proceed, discovering hidden paths and whatnot without stressing about the moving ship.
I think the game he is thinking of in the beginning of the video is HINTERLAND
Yep, that was it!
Such a cool concept, a shame it never took off
Great little game
I think it was Depth's of Peril, which was by the Din's Legacy folk.
The only game I'm aware of would be Dark Cloud, which was for the PS(2?). Basically, you would go into dungeons, find buildings/people, and then could plant them in your city.

Dark cloud 1 and 2 for the ps2 they were great and unique games.
he's talking about HINTERLAND
God Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 were such amazing games.

I loved hinterland so much!
Bruh thank you for mentioning this
Also Din's Curse and Zombasite A lot of their games are sort of like he described. They're really good though
I remember playing the demo for this, and being whelmed. It was an interesting premise, but there was obvious telegraphing of a grind-a-thon, and the progression model was absolutely something out of a freemium mobile game.

I thought he had. As soon as I saw the base I was like "I've seen this before"... and yes, he actually covered this 11 months ago.
Same here. Couldn't remember the action-rpg part, but when i saw the base building part i was like , i am sure i've seen this before and by Splatty. Glad to see devs keep working on it.
Feels like the creator played RiftBreaker and then made a game for what happens after you make the rift portal and can send people to the new colony
I absolutely love the mashing together of different genres, gonna have to keep an eye on this. Thanks, Splat!
I often bought games based on the description and screen shots on the box, back before RUclips was a household name.
22:13 Crazy, I was just listening to their DotA song last week! Randomly popped into my head.
Yup...bought it. Interesting enough to get a "Im home and need a break from my main games...Ooooh...this looks shiney" purchase.
Combination RPG and City Builder is exactly my jam, and a game like that which doesn't skimp on the City Builder half while still maintaining the strength of the RPG half is something I've been looking for for a very long time.
Splat might be talking about Depths of Peril, it is a game from the company that made Drox Operative, fits the description and was from 2007.
Interesting stuff. It's got lots of nice touches like the effects around the transport vehicle and the big critters burrow animation. One to watch.
thanks to you i buy and play games i never would have found if it wasnt for your channel, thank you splat!
i pirate the games
@@Get_Milked Pirated games come at their own cost. People don't crack games for free. They like to hide crypto miners and other malware in them.
Is the game you are thinking about Hinterland?
Edit:
Remember playing that around 2008 and I do believe it had a limited physical release. Action rpg, go out and kill mobs, go back build your little town, defend against invasions.
Seconding this, sounds like Hinterland. Great game
I was thinking the same. Loved that one.
I believe the game you are thinking about is "The Spatials" and "The Spatials : Galactology" ... go on missions, collect resources, build a base for visitors, and recruit staff, all in a sci-fi environment.
Sounds like splat was talking about depths of peril or kivi’s underworld both by soldak, who later made Din’s curse. Fun games.
Were you thinking of Hinterland? Because that game was great and unique at the time.
It drove me crazy watching you leave the transport stuck on the rocks.
You should consider streaming.
Pretty sure you're thinking of Hinterland! Put out in 2008 by Tilted Mill.
It isn't quite the game he is thinking of, but they were mixing city/civ building and action game sequences way back when I was a kid with Act Raiser.
The game you're thinking about is likely Judgement apocalypse, you have to build a city and go explore a big map, but there's many games like that, Necesse is one of the best examples, it's amazing. Terraria, core keeper, starbound, dragon quest builders 2 are also games like that. Realms of magic, hammerhelm as well. Forager and Keplerth are also amazing games.
The Indie city builder action RPG from back a good number of years that I recall was called Hinterland
reminds me of Beyond Contact.. and another game you reviewed about 2 years back maybe.. I think i played the demo based on our play through
A base-building ARPG? Color me intrigued!
This kind of reminds me of Actraiser for the ol' SNES
Dark cloud is a good suggestion. Act raiser was sorta a hybrid too.
Was watching and going "Oh yeah, kinda cool", and then the base building part came up and now its scratching my itch.
Thanks for showcasing! ^^
That foggy glass effect on the greenhouses is niiiiice.
Spellforce 2 had a cool "city buiding" set of quests in Westguard.
You had me at 'wipe everything out'. Suffer not the Xeno.
That game sounds like Hinterland, good little game that had a lot of potential but devs only went so far with it.
Look at all the cute animals that used to exist XD! loved that splatty
This is like cult of the lamb you build a cult but you dungeon run for resources to build that cult
I am for sure getting this.
Heh, the first twenty seconds of your intro and I'm flashing back to the Corporate Wars from the old TSR RPG Star Frontiers.
Splattercat, do you remember a store chain called "Player 2"? That's the store in which I first saw advertising for my favorite JRPG Chrono Cross, and discovered that I love playing video games.

13:25 lol they actually named that woman Ever Bred
It’s such a specific concept
Came here to say Hinterland. I found it on my own recently. It is 100% the game being described at the start of the video for comparison.
finally the artstyle im looking for
I bought this when it launched in early access. The action is good but the stages for it are short, like they were designed for a mobile game, and the city builder stuff operated similarly. They may have improved this in the year since then though
Love all these Eukaryotic Games that are coming out lately.
2:40 Bastion?
Reminds me of Red Solstice with a more in depth crafting and meta progression (without the crazy dark humanity is lost story line).
The only pc game I know of back then is the convoy where you are a city on wheels but you go out and get resources and such
this looks very much like Riftbreaker. including some of the assets lol
Thats how I found the original of mount and blade too!
I loved the original mount and blade
This guy gets his free time in on the side while doing work, bruh
Depths of Peril? It sounds like that one and is by the Din's Legacy/Drox Operative dev.
Fine video
It seems like the base building is pretty well done. The missions seem to be a little bit undercooked but not too bad. Seems like the challenge level is at about the right level for a game based around resource management and city building... but the pace of the action is a little on the slow side while you're on a mission, compared to other action-RPG looter-shooters. But yeah it's an interesting game.
Posted 58 secs ago? Hell yeah somethin to watch while drinkin' my mornin' tea.
I hope you have a nice morning and a good day. =]
reminds me of the first pc game i found in a pawn shop/card shop. it was the original large box of Asheron’s Call. just the single box speaking to me 😂
Sounds like Hinterland is the game you are talking about.
17:44 Wait who voices the main character? He sounds exactly like Anklespankin.
Was trying to think of a name if it were a unique genre... something along the lines of 'extraction builder' comes to mind
Heroic mayor games?
Back in my day, only Team Fort Classic had a minigun shotgun. Back when everything was polygon, and we liked it that way. Oh, time for my heart meds... Urk...
There was the Riot Gun in the original Shadow Warrior, but that was more of a quad-barrel revolving shotgun than a proper minigun
Your Best Buy story is how I found XCOM, good times.
Hell yeah, this looks kinda cool so far
Zombasite. The game's name is Zombasite and it comes from Soldak Entertainment
Should have dropped them points in science for the crit chance buff bro!
You stream? I'm gonna have to check that out ;) Good vid.
The game u mention is called "planet explorer" hope this help
I don't mind a time-chunking system to help gatekeep progress. Break it down to things require X units of time taken from a total available -- same but different I guess? I prefer it over energy though
hinterland maybe or dark cloud? for the game you were thinking about
Looks like it would be a fun game!
Make an episode series 😊
There's an endangered species right there
Splatt, are you describing the game Dark Cloud?
Game you might be thinking of is Actrazor
Is the game you are talking about, that reminded of you this, called Hinterland? From 2008, I got it too, same reason, looked interesting.
The game you were trying to think of is probably Zombasite.
I would always prefer to have a voice acting rather than sitting and reading, like I remember when TB (may you rest in peace) did a video about SUNLESS SEA and he was narrating the game I jumped and bought it immediately without knowing that my voice sound bad in my head like George 🙂

Discord link in description has expired (tried on iPhone)
It's basically Riftbreaker but simpler
the name of the game you forgot is probably Hinterland
looks very similar to riftbreaker. but with more town building. not sure what game you were talking about. theres a bunch it could be. not dragonquest builder?

The game you can't remember may be Hinterland.
Cool !
DarkCloud had a system like that to, could that be it?🤔🧐
In some way it reminds me of Actraiser.
i wish it was co-op
The game was red solstice 2
Genocide RPG! Pog
wait, you also stream?
@Splattercatgaming did you tried Svarog's Dream game? I wonder what are your thoughts about it! :)
Completely unrelated - but how come you've never done a video on Din's Legacy, the followup to Din's Curse?
Hinterland?
Depths of Peril?
Hinterland
Kinda reminds me of Helldivers
