The official site also mentions that there are randomly generated dungeons, which is always a tempting proposition. Evading hazards plays out in real time, but when you bump into something nasty that isn't made of spikes or fire, it switches to a turn-based, JRPG-style combat engine thick with over-the-top attack animations. The game itself is a hybrid of isometric action-RPGing as you navigate the overworld, dungeons and their various obstacles and traps. Word from Joe Mad and crew is that the comic will finally get its planned ending in a handful of new issues to be released sometime after the game. Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a revival of short-lived comic series Battle Chasers, which ran through the end of the '90s and hasn't seen a new issue printed in 16 years. It's like the intro to the best '90s action cartoon that never existed, isn't it? Joe Mad's 'Anime is cool, but let's make it BUFF' art style is unmistakable, too. I also know (on account of putting it there) that the incredibly '90s animated intro is just after the jump. I know that it's based on a cult '90s comic series by Darksiders creative director Joe Madureira, and now I know that it has been released. I know that it's a hybrid of ARPG adventuring with JRPG style combat. I know that it was a respectable success on Kickstarter.
It feels like one of those games that has always been just on the periphery of my awareness.
I'm not entirely sure how Battle Chasers: Nightwar has flown under my radar for so long.
