@legion_: Clicked to post just that :p

Pleasantly surprised by the idea of this game though. And Their ACE shirts too, mind blown two fold with one click!

@patrickklepek Did you ever play Rock of Ages? That game is so funny and strange.

what's that you said sonny? Abe's Oddysee?

Abe's Oddysee?

That's what I read too, and why it's a bad name.

Back in my day we had Odysseys, not this Oddysee malarkey you kids are into these days. Along with the drugs.

I was hoping this was a metroidvania style game, but it is some kind of mutated roguelike fighter. Meh...

These dudes need to just keep making their weird games. I'll buy them just so they can keep being weird.

Man I really dug the Zeno Clash games, but "procedurally generated with roguelike elements" is already starting to get played out.

It's funny how people used to say that it was big publishers stifled innovation, but lately it seems apparent that when they're faced with the reality of needing to make money, indies also just end up chasing market trends.

I wasn't sure because I thought the default character looked a bit boring for an Ace Team game. Imagine my joy when they turned into the giant bull.

The first brother gives this game two thumbs up. What's that on the 5 star scale?

Whatever it will be, I'll end up buying it eventually. I loved Zeno Clash and wasn't so hot on Rock of Ages but I didn't mind. Can't wait to play Zeno Clash II when I get around to it in my backlog. I love that this team came out of nowhere, particularly from a country that has and continues to have very little game representation, and is in production on their fourth game.

Sweet. I love this team and I'm sure this game will be just as unique as Zeno Clash. For an early look I think it looks great. Guacamelee! was right on the edge of what these are talking about (minus the platforming so far), so to see them take it further has me really excited.

I've liked everything ACE Team has put out so far.

The fact that it's only on last gen gives me hope it'll be out soon.

From the name and the thumbnail I was expecting something along the lines of Abe's Oddysee. So it isn't that, but it still looks potentially really cool.

Oh my god yes! Looks really interesting, like a much more fleshed out Dawn of Sorrow. Hopefully they incorporate gameplay elements into playing as enemy characters and not just change into them for the sake of it.

Zeno Clash 2(and ROA) is on sale right now, I think i'll use card money to buy it even though I didnt really like Zeno Clash 1.

P.S Looks like Zeno 2 did well considering they're giving out free updates like candy.

P.S.S Something interesting going on with the video banner. Look at the 2 dudes on the bottom left.....nice view I bet lol.

Finally, what i wanted from Mortal Kombat Mythologies : Subzero.

Exactly what I thought, and with all seriousness, I think it's pretty exciting.

This feels like an interesting evolution of one of the main accomplishments of a game like Dark Souls. Maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but I love it when every fight really matters and is potentially deadly, which this seems to be about.

Gotta admit though, from one of the most creative teams, it's a bit disappointing to see one of the most generic titles I can imagine. Abyss Odyssey sounds like a forgotten shitty Genesis tactical RPG.

Yeah same here. I really enjoyed the Zeno Clash games and even Rock of Ages. These brothers seem to be at their best when they use really unique art styles. This game seems to draw more aesthetic from Rock of Ages than the Zeno Clash games though. It looks promising.

Zeno Clash 2 was my 2nd favourite game of 2014. These guys have become one of my favourite current developers.

Probably too many cooks in the kitchen on this one, but I hope they can somehow mesh this all together, could be very interesting.
