One of Kabam’s games that they demoed at GDC, Spirit Lords (Free), is out worldwide at last. This is their take on the isometric action-RPG genre that’s been really popular on mobile as of late, complete with real-time online multiplayer. Kabam has promised this is “white hat" free-to-play where everything will be earnable without paying money, and premium currency can be earned in-game as well. A former BioWare writer in Daniel Erickson has done a lot of work on this one, and has tried to make art and story a key part of the game. Check out the launch trailer for the game:
And of course, check out our hands-on demo of the game from GDC:
Can this one stand out in a sea of free-to-play action-RPGs? It’ll be interesting to see just how the gameplay and the monetization in particular winds up shaking out, if this proves to be fun while also something that can be enjoyed was a free game.
