Two extra retro-inspired RPGs are locked in

The double Kickstarter for religious successors to the Wild Arms and Shadow Hearts collection has hit its minimal. Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood have cleared their preliminary aim on Kickstarter and are actually climbing for stretch targets.

Creators behind the Wild Arms and Shadow Hearts collection revealed their crowdfunding plan final week, with an fascinating twist. Quite than particular person campaigns, the 2 tasks would share a pool as a double Kickstarter. Contributions in direction of one religious successor would assist the opposite.

The 2 video games are Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood. The previous takes after the Westernpunk idea of Wild Arms, with a distinctly animated type. Penny Blood, in the meantime, picks up the darkish and moody facet of Shadow Hearts, utilizing alt-history as its backdrop.

With the aim of ¥100,000,000 met, each tasks are actually thought-about funded. As per launch, the Kickstarter web site estimates supply of a digital model of Armed Fantasia or Penny Blood as March 2025.

Because the builders remind of their “Dangers” part although, issues can change. However whereas delays are one factor, the creators guarantee that each video games are being developed by skilled groups, and also you “don’t want to fret about them not being launched” after they get funded.

Attain for the sky

The group posted a thank-you message for hitting its minimal aim inside someday’s time. Additionally they say that, as a consequence of widespread request from backers and potential backers, a brand new add-on for digital and bodily variations of the OST has been added.

The double Kickstarter crew additionally plans to do three updates every week, spotlighting totally different facets of the 2 video games every day. As for the stretch targets, the marketing campaign’s Combo Meter (a shared stretch aim meter) consists of console variations. All the pieces else past is presently obscured, however there’ll seemingly be extra targets and options to fund.

It’s neat to see this marketing campaign hit its mark so quick. Each collection have such an fascinating and distinct type and method to RPGs, and I’m eager to see what this group brings to bear additional on down the street. The marketing campaign will run via September 30 right here.
