Versus Evil community guy slash producer type Lance James sat down with us for a chat about Kyn, an interesting new take on the action-RPG genre. Perhaps the first thing that struck us about it is how challenging it is.
"I'm not saying anything bad about some games that are out there," says Lance James. "But some games are kind of easy. [Tangrim Entertainment] wanted to make a fun, challenging game. More old school even where it could kick your ass and it probably will a few times until you figure things out or get the right gear or find the right loot or the right combination. A lot of it is actually tactically you have to be sound in your tactics. Just running into a mob full of guys in real life typically doesn't work. So think about it tactically, maybe some flanking maneuvers or set up an ambush or set up a trap or set up your mage so that you can cast long range spells without being attacked. There's a lot of thinking that has to go into a lot of these things to make it successful. And that goes for the puzzles too. Some of them can probably get you killed if you don't realise what you're doing or if you mess up even."
While the release date is still unknown it should see release very soon on Steam. If you want to read up some more on just how harsh Kyn can be - follow this link for Mike's impressions.
