Snowcastle Games on what makes Earthlock: Festival of Magic stand out
A portion of a GamerXP interview with producer Bendik Stang...
GamerXP: What sets Earthlock apart from other games in the genre?
Stang: “The core premise is pretty original as far as we have found: Harvest ammo, build your base, and go on epic RPG adventures! We have also done something a bit different with the turn based combat by creating combat pairs. This way, you can mix and match different characters with different skills and stats into a whole range of different combat pairs.
“We have also just began prototyping a deeper effects system where elemental effects will work together during combat. So you can fire off a water spud that might cause the effect “soaked” and then if the next shot is electro based, the enemy will get electrocuted due to the soaked effect. We are striving to create a deep and interesting tactical combat gameplay.”
