GameSpot has posted up a preview containing a Q&A with designer Eric Dallaire on Reflexive Entertainment's pseudo-historical RPG Lionheart.
Here's a snip:We're going to see a slightly different kind of fantasy from Lionheart, a role-playing game from California-based developer Reflexive and veteran RPG creator Black Isle Studios. Lionheart won't be based on Tolkien's works, or on the chronicles of the Dungeons & Dragons world--instead, it will draw inspiration from classical European mythology and history. The game takes place in an intriguing alternate reality that dates back to the religious wars known as the Crusades. King Richard the Lionheart of England, in his final campaign against the Muslim armies led by the legendary Saladin, gathers a collection of holy relics and performs a rite that he hopes will help him win the war, once and for all. Instead, the ritual causes the Disjunction, a cataclysm that unleashes unnatural spirits and sorcery into the world. Rather than remain at war, Richard and Saladin declare a truce, divvy up the artifacts, and head home to their respective kingdoms to battle the new breed of menacing creatures that have begun to appear in the world. |
