Skullgirls was a game I never got into for two reasons; the first being that I suck at fighting games, and the second being that I suck at fighting games. Despite my personal ineptitude, I’m a sucker for games with gorgeous hand-drawn art, and Skullgirls fits that category perfectly. So the news that developers Lab Zero Games are working on an action-RPG (a genre I’m much less atrocious at) is something I’m very happy about indeed.
Inspired by Super Metroid and the criminally-underrated Valkyrie Profile, the game is called Indivisible and it’s heading to IndieGoGo “soon”, along with a playable prototype according to the announcement trailer. Secret of Mana composer Hiroki Kikuta is slated to compose for the game, so they’re tapping into some veteran RPG talent there, which is always a good thing. Judging by the announcement trailer, the game’s going to continue the high standard of art seen in Lab Zero’s previous works. Check it out for yourself below!
The game draws inspiration from Southeast Asian and other world mythologies and stars Ajna (pronounced AHZH-na), “a girl who sets out on a globe-spanning journey to discover the truth behind her mysterious powers. On her quest she’ll be joined by a variety of unique heroes and gain new abilities to traverse the environments and defeat the enemies they’ll encounter along the way”.
