Crowdfunding allows developers to create games without interference from outside entities like committees and shareholders. It lets their own creativity and talent take center stage. Kickstarter is one way for developers to access crowdfunding support, and it’s seen its fair share of interesting RPG projects over the years. The newly announced Alzara: Radiant Echoes is no exception! With music by Motoi Sakuraba (Baten Kaitos series, Tales of series) and main character designs by Yoshiro Ambe (Trials of Mana, Genshin Impact), this project is shaping up to be a love letter to RPGs like Golden Sun and Final Fantasy X.
Check out the reveal trailer below:
The vibrant turn-based RPG is up now on Kickstarter. As of this writing, the game is already close to smashing its €100,000 ($108,261 USD) goal. Stretch goals include English voice acting and the entire soundtrack being composed by Motoi Sakuraba.
