Its been a long time since i backed a kickstarter project, yet this one, which has a playable demo, managed to capture my visual sensors.
What i like about this project is that its not trying to reinvent the genre with weird additions and mechanics no one ever asked for, rather, polish it all up and pack it in a mature theme and visuals.
