This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

More in-depth info about  the game!

Unleashed is located in a mature and violent world.


Our game is a RPG based on some well known mechanics, such as turn based battles,
 open world exploration (with over 300 maps across 8 biomes), and a dramatic script.

What we first tried to do was to put effort on interactions.
You can gather or interact with almost anything that surrounds you.
You could get resources to buy, sell, or craft items that could even be used to decorate your house.
Job levels allow you to gather more efficiently some materials, and can also allow you to get rarer materials.

By repairing structures in cities, you can get a house that you can decorate as you want, knowing that some items are not just used for decorative purposes,
 but also for something else such as healing, growing plants etc.

Regarding fights, to explain things quickly, you'll have the possibility to have up to 10 creatures,
each having up to 2 different types (14 types in total, counting 7 sins and 7 virtues). Battles imply 3 creatures at once,
so you'll have to use strategy to optimize your team and use attacks that work well together.
Creatures can be improved by leveling up and using boosters.

What makes it "Dark Fantasy"?

What makes its a "mature" world?

How is Unleashed different from the 1000s of other fantasy RPGs?

The images are meh.

What is the story? characters? reason for the conflict? etc?

HIRVIOS

Thanks for the questions

Dark fantasy means we're in a fantasy world '' as usual'', but shifted in a darker atmosphere regarding theme, scenario, and everything else.

Mature comes from the world itself as well as the story: no fairies, no kind dialog with nice fights to help the player feeling good;
this is a fight for survival in a world that, despite being a fantasy world, is way too close to reality and implies human behavior that could be real and unpleasant.

Unleashed is different in a lot of ways but also similar in others;
 saying we invented the wheel would be a lie since we are based on popular features, but we highlighted some features that would have often needed to be polished, especially with the open world handling:
 more randomness and unique environment that allows the player to interact with a lot of items, to discover new paths when randomness of the elements spawning allows it, random encounters and more.
 Also for the fighting phase, the 3v3 strategies are redesigned to be based on sins and virtues rather than the usual fire water and other elements.

Concerning the story, you can check out our official webpage, and Presskit for some more info (http://unleashed-rpg.com/    and    http://www.indiedb.com/games/unleashed-rpg/presskit)
Since RPG's are story based, we wouldn't want to spoil too much.

I'd like to post some updates;
I'm in the Process of designing some of the Plot-centered characters.
These are all WIP's Concept sketches, their final appearances will most likely be somewhat different.

Any kind of Feedback is greatly appreciated!
