In what has to be one of the more modest Kickstarter campaigns we’ve seen in some time, the team at Last Life Games is asking for a mere $7000 to get the finishing touches on their action platformer Trial by Viking. An official staff pick from the folks over at Kickstarter, the campaign has 27 days to go and is already at $3000. Not only that they’re asking for some Steam Greenlight love too (if you would be so kind!)
Trial by Viking mixes some of the best elements of action platforming and dungeon crawling into a game that explores the distant worlds of the Norse gods. Fans of games like Rogue Legacy, Super Mario Brothers Wii/U, Metroidvanias, and Super Meat Boy should feel right at home.
There are 130 hand crafted levels that range from frantic mad dashes, to dungeon exploring treasure hunts. With over 80 unique enemies, 27 intense boss battles, and countless challenge and puzzle elements, there will be a lot to discover. Luckily you will also be able to collect powerful character upgrades along the way to help you battle ever tougher foes, as well as unlock new unexplored areas.
The game was recently featured at the Seattle Indies Expo and they had this to say about it; “With an incredible variety of combat abilities, equippable weapons, abilities, and passives, the game will both empower and challenge the ever-loving crap out of you. This is a compelling universe with fantastic art, music, and tons of content that’s not to be missed.”
