Eidolons Netherflame Beta is on IndieGoGo for All Backers

Eidolons Netherflame is an upcoming Souls-like game, set in a turn-based environment, and its demo is on IndieGoGo. All backers can now give this demo a spin, offering something new to the turn-based setting. This dark tactical roguelike has players controlling a ruthless mage lord. Being hunted for his betrayal, he schemes and receives a vision of his death and rebirth, and his ascension to godhood.

On a quest for ultimate power, a dark, beautiful realm awaits, and Eidolons itself was inspired by Planescape: Torment, and other cult classics, such as Disciples II, Dark Souls, and Darkest Dungeon. It will not hold your hand or give clear answers, preferring to keep players on the edge at all times. You can learn more on their Indiegogo page.
