    Prelude Dark Pain Alpha Impression

    Even in the small number of battles shown, it demonstrates some strong variation in its encounter design, including a set piece fight taking place on top of travelling stagecoaches and a mission to destroy some bridge supports.

    Developer Quickfire Games recently unveiled its dark fantasy tactical RPG Prelude Dark Pain, before beginning a currently-ongoing Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the title. The game sees players taking the role of Soren, a warrior turned blacksmith, in the world of Statera. Soren ends up leading a group of heroes trying to save the world from an ancient evil lying beyond the world's veil, which is being torn apart by the actions of the Order of the Ashen Crusade. RPGamer was able to check out a short alpha demo on PC containing its first three story battles, plus a pair of extra skirmishes.

    Prelude Dark Pain is very quick about setting up its brutal setting and comic book graphical inspirations with its opening scenes and events. It also doesn't go out of its way to explain what's happening, getting players to put together the pieces from the short conversations and contextual information. It begins with Soren and his family being hunted down at their home by a nefarious group. He and his son are able to fight back and are swiftly joined by some allies, though his wife - a witch - ends up captured.
