Classic overhead role playing games are somewhat of a rarity today as everyone jumps on the Skyrim bandwagon, just the newest in a long line of 3D RPG’s that everyone HAS to copy. Independent developers are not content with following the trend that the major league players set, rather content with doing their own thing.
Elysian Shadows is an overhead viewed Role Playing Game (RPG) coming to many platforms- the Dreamcast being the one we are most excited about. The cool part is, you could be a member of the team creating this cool game if you are qualified in the areas they need help. Check it out here.
