Very lovely looking game. Really hoping it gets the attention I think it deserves.

There are miniatures in this Kickstarter! But they seem to be at really high pledge levels only.

Art is a really lovely cell-shaded and the soundtrack is being mixed by the same person as the Supernatural television series.

Just thought I'd share as, while this isn't your typical miniature kickstarter, it is developed by a miniature/tabletop RPG company and does technically include miniature. :3

Thanks all, hope to see this succeed!

Although I've somewhat been turned away from Anima due to the embarrassing amount of titillation in the game, it's always looked interesting, especially the Wissenschaft faction. Pity they don't feature here.

"The Bearer" seems like a heavy copy of Shanoa from Castlevania.

Also somewhat saddening that the only way to get the special miniature is to pledge $500. That's a lot.

No kidding.

Says they're using the Unity3d engine. Haven't heard of most of the games listed on their profiles page, but there are some familiar and good looking titles.

$25 for a copy of the game? Might jump in on this one and see how it turns out.

I know you guys like this but I have an extremely unfavorable view of computer game developers asking for money. I've been stung by investing in vaporware before and it is a very real risk even from an established software company. Good luck to those who want to help fund this but I'll be keeping my wallet closed on this one.

On this one I agree.

Biggest issue they will have is that they will be outdated in six months without continued support systems in place. I'm watching the Shadowrun game for this same issue.

If you've seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about. Loves me some shadowrun, but I'm not too fond of the MMO.

Not really sure what you mean by "out-dated". This is a stand-alone 1 player action rpg not an mmo

I hope them the best, but I can't back this till I see a prototype.
The amount of money they're asking for is peanuts for the development costs of a video game.

Brief gameplay alpha video posted.

Love Anima's miniatures, everytime I buy something online or at the FLGS I make a point to pick one up as sort of a collection. Have not had a chance to read the rule book as of yet... if ever.

game concept and the art looks great, but the animation and graphics are cheesy (I know low budget).

Do have to agree, 500 bucks to get the miniature is a kick in the nards.

I think there's some promise to it.
