So I'd recently stumbled upon this while browsing through tabletop games. It's a hack and slash RPG based on the Anima: Beyond Fantasy universe (originally a role-playing book franchise) that boasts a few interesting gothic overtones. It's been funded twice on Kickstarter -- its extended campaign ended a few weeks ago -- and it looks surprisingly well-polished for a spinoff video game. From what I've gathered, it's got a neat character-switching system, and it seems to sport some decent skill depth to boot.

All in all, it looks like a game worth following. And who knows? Maybe it'll satisfy that itch LoS2 failed to scratch.

Also, did I spy a switch cancel?

Cartoony you say? I'll call in his defence the name Vagrant Story........
