For anyone missing old-school Mana games or Hyper Light Drifter, you need to check out the 'Colossus: Eternal Blight' Kickstarter
**DISCLAIMER** I'm a backer/ big fan of the campaign. (First time backing a Kickstarter!)
Hey everyone, I stumbled across a project during the Indie Quest showcase that I think a lot of people in this sub would love. It’s an upcoming top-down, single-player action RPG called Colossus: Eternal Blight, and the crowdfunding campaign is live right now.The developers, Rustic Panda Games, describe it as a mix between classic JRPG storytelling (think Chrono Trigger world-building) and tight, modernized ARPG combat.
Aspects that make it really promising:
High-Skill Combat, Class Customization, Choices with Consequences, Hand-Crafted Pixel Aesthetic, Zero Microtransactions.
They already passed their initial funding goal, but they are working through stretch goals before the campaign wraps up on June 28, 2026. If you want to check out the trailer, back the project, or look at the reward tiers, you can find the campaign directly on the Colossus: Eternal Blight Kickstarter Page
P.S. If there is any issue with me posting since I'm also a backer, please just let me know and I'll take it down. Thanks for the interest!
