Isn't 20 little cheap for the game that you are promising?

The primary aim of this campaign is to prove that there is a community out there who wants to see this game happen + Funds will allow us to achieve that additional level of detail and will assure content which will elevate the overall gaming experience. So with the Kickstarter money raised, we will look to implement higher quality animations using motion capture technology, expand the character roster and add in more weapons. If we are able to hit more of our stretch goals we will be able to add ranged weapons, different combat styles and more exciting content.

Most probably yes. It depends on GOG more than on us. Since they are curating their store.

When is beta coming out?

We are doing everything we can to bring you the best version of the game as soon as possible. At the current time, we are still working on the combat system, animations and other important parts of the gameplay. So when we feel like the gameplay and experience is solid enough, we will be bringing the game to early access.

Disabling/Crippling system. Will I loose limb whet it gets hit? Can I still fight even with crippled leg?

They are two different things. Losing a leg or arm will mean that you are no longer able to fight. However one hit to the arm does not mean that your character will lose it, so we are still exploring the best way to implement a damage system. Our idea is to have a damaging effect in place which means you would still be able to fight and even win. Hits to the legs cause your character to slow down, making them unable to run and just limp around. However, you can still execute attacks, and perform blocks/parry.

How much am I allowed to customize my character? How many skins does each character have?

Our characters have their specific personalities, so you will be able to pick a character that suits you and your play style the best. You can pick from the multiple skins available and then customize that skin to a certain degree. At the moment we have around 3-8 skins per character to choose from. We are also working on colour and pattern customization for materials used in each skin. The game will contain quite an extensive list of additional equipment like braces, necklaces, helmets, armour etc. which you can choose and add to your character. You will also have your specific banner which will be used in multiplayer, on selection screens and in the main menu.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
