Unknown Realm - A drool worthy 8-bit styled RPG via Kickstarter campaign is a success

This did not come as a surprise to me, considering how good this retro styled RPG looked for both C64 and PC, as Unknown Realm - The Siege Perilous by Stirring Dragon Games is a Kickstarter success raising $65,887 pledged of $65,536 goal (19 days still to go). Again as mentioned before this is an RPG that has the look of one of the best RPG's ever released on the C64 as Ultima IV, while also featuring a huge open world, secret locations, a day and night cycle, seasonal monsters and much much more to make this a truly epic sounding game!

Unknown Realm - This RPG via Kickstarter for C64 and PC looks gorgeous!

In the 80's many of us had the pleasure of playing Ultima IV on the C64, it was arguably one of the best RPG's ever released for the Commodore and featured a top down playing field with lush landscapes, dungeons to explore, characters to traverse with and many enemies to fight. It was no wonder that many would class the 80's to the 90's as the golden age of RPG's and that's before the love of the first person dungeon crawler came to fruition. So now as a complete shock and amazement to many of us, Stirring Dragon Games has launched their Kickstarter on C64 and PC for ' Uknown Realm '; a brand new RPG that not only looks amazing but takes us back to the golden age of RPG's.
