Raji: An Ancient Epic is an action adventure game currently seeking funds through Kickstarter, and it’s currently the final day of the campaign.

Raji: An Ancient Epic follows a young girl named Raji who is chosen by the gods to fight against a demonic invasion, while also trying to rescue her brother. It is set in ancient India, with hand painted environments inspired by the medieval architecture of Rajasthan.

It’s an action adventure game that features melee combat and elemental attacks, with customization for your abilities. It also includes some puzzles.

Raji looks pretty good, but it’s still at only around 50% of its funding goal at the time that I’m writing this. Just over 24 hours remain in the Kickstarter campaign, so it will need a lot of support in the final day to meet its goal.

Since there is a demo available through Steam, I downloaded it to give it a try. In the trailer, Raji’s gameplay seemed like it might be slow, but it actually feels quite good. The customization is limited since it’s a demo, but I look forward to seeing what the options are in the full game.

Aside from one point where the demo glitched and I had to restart (from a very forgiving checkpoint, so I barely lost any progress), it played well and felt smooth.

I recorded it, but I had trouble uploading the video. If I ever get it ready, I’ll include it here.

Anyway, if you like the sounds of a demon-fighting action game set in ancient India, head over to the Kickstarter page for Raji: An Ancient Epic and take a look!

Back in May, I announced that I was the writer for a fantasy action RPG called Destiny Chronicles.

Well, Destiny Chronicles is now on Kickstarter!

We’re off to a good start, but we still need a lot of support to reach our goal.

The current build is using pre-made environment and enemy assets as placeholders, but our funding through Kickstarter will allow us to create original assets, in addition to polishing the animations and combat, fleshing out the world and story, and turning Destiny Chronicles into a game we can be proud of.

Destiny Chronicles is a JRPG-inspired game about a squire named Celeste. When a thief ruins her initiation into the Ashen Order, an order of knights dedicated to protecting the world from monsters, Celeste goes on a journey to prove herself worthy of knighthood.

It will be a character-driven story, with optional party member interactions and side quests in addition to the main plot. As far as combat goes, it is an action RPG. You can see early examples of combat in the trailer.

Destiny Chronicles is currently planned for the PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, although the beta builds will only be available on the PC.

We have a lot of details on the Kickstarter page, and you can also ask me if you have any questions. As the writer, I’m best-suited for answering stories about the story, characters, and world, but I can find out any other information you need, too.

What do you think of Destiny Chronicles? Head over to the Kickstarter page to lend your support or just spread the word!

One of the games in this year’s backlog is Cosmic Star Heroine, a long-anticipated RPG I backed on Kickstarter.

Cosmic Star Heroine finally released on April 11, but the Vita version was delayed.

I’d considered playing it on the Vita, which is one of the reasons I haven’t gotten around to it yet. (The other reason being the size of my backlog and the other games I’ve been playing, of course.)

Well, the Vita version is almost done now that they’ve fixed a major bug that was giving them problems. Unless something else surfaces, it should be coming soon!

Physical rewards are also coming soon.

Time to get working on that backlog so I’ll be ready to play Cosmic Star Heroine!

Do you ever hold off on playing a game because you’re waiting for a specific version?
