Seemingly (to me) a blend of Diablo and Castlevania, but this game is pretty bad-ass with the pixel work.

I think that's a bit of an understatement and i mean that in a good way. This game looks far more bad-ass then even the word bad-ass can fill! It's got that retro PC vib to the pixel art as well as animations. It's lovely to see such work still exists in the minds of others.

Looks so pretty. I love these detailed pixel art games. I know that the indie scene now has been kind of flooded with pixel art stuff but this stands out from the rest like Hyper light drifter.

Damn...that looks amazing. I've never pledged to a kickstarter before, but I might have to for this. Somehow this looks like something I've been waiting for.

Wow, that does look beautiful.  I understand it's a huge challenge for an indie developer to port a game to a second/third/fourth platform, but I wish this was coming to something last-gen.  I still haven't made the jump to Xbox One or PS4, and I don't plan to anytime soon, because the only next-gen games that interest me are upscaled last-gen games.

It looks absolutely stunning. I am a bit concerned by the flatness of the images shown, though the dev says there are towers with more of a focus on the platforming.
