I immediately thought of EOB when I was watching this, as well as several of the attempts by users here to bring RTC out doors.. DM 2 did an ok job of doing some outside stuff.. but the approach here is interesting.. and seems like they've added a stronger RPG talking thing.
Underkeep trailer gives strong EOB vibes.

Re: Underkeep trailer gives strong EOB vibes.
Just had a look at its Steam page and watched the teaser/looked through all the screenshots. Yeah, it certainly has vibes of all those older games like DM and Ishar and all that.

Re: Underkeep trailer gives strong EOB vibes.
It looks pretty, but combat seems to be turn based which never appealed to me. Having said that, I doubt I have the reactions for a real-time blobber these days, so maybe it's perfect!

Re: Underkeep trailer gives strong EOB vibes.
Oh yeah I saw it said "turn-based" and I'm not even sure how that works in a game like that. Does everything just freeze when a monster comes on the screen so you can't just run away or something?

Re: Underkeep trailer gives strong EOB vibes.
Turn based was how most of the original CRPGs operated before DM came along and introduced real time combat. You literally had to wait your turn while the enemy made their move, then you do your move, then they counter attack, etc. I didn't really play those types of games, DM was my first introduction to CRPGs, so real-time combat has always been my expectation. If any of you play Underkeep, I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.
