Today we are going to go over a new project that needs your help. Kickstarter is currently having the smaller games overshadowed by big companies. Ensemble Online is a strategy MMO with a heavy emphasis on building.
The basic features of an adventure game, with a twist
Ensemble online has the basic features you would expect from a game of this type. Multiplayer combat, base building and gathering. But it also brings elements you might see in strategy games. You can work on bases together and share resources. While the game is in a very early state, the final version should allow you to create some very complex bases.
Ensemble Online as it is now
The game is currently in an extremely early stage, and they need your help to fund their Kickstarter. However it has the makings of a very good game in the future including:
- Character customization
- Combat
- Exploration
- Resource management and building
They are planning to implement all of these on a huge scale rarely seen in gaming. There are of course plans to make the game into a full RTS experience for the players who want it. Those who do not can still grind on wandering mobs or try out the player vs player arena. Overall this game brings a wide variety excellent ideas into one package. We are personally hoping that later on they greatly expand the RTS elements to having soldiers and other elements. Of course we are sure that will happen at some point if they get funded.
But Ensemble Online will be vaporware without you
These are small, hardworking designers trying to make a new game for the market. Be sure to visit their Kickstarter and their main site to find out more. We hope that they can get the funding they need for what could someday be an amazing game. They also have several rewards for donators including:
- Special mentions in-game depending on your donation
- Beta access and bonus money in game shops
- The highest tiers allow you to have your own town and give input on the game itself
These are some impressive rewards, so check out Ensemble Online if you they sound good to you.
