Wow. This looks amazing! Reminds me a bit of Salt & Sanctuary. Definite buy for me when I hear how the port is running...

Probably not the kind of game I'd be very good at, but I'm impressed by the apparent depth of it and I like its style and sounds. I definitely need to give that soundtrack a listen as well.
