Lords of Xulima announced
Per the devs, LoX will feature the following things:
- Create your party with up to six characters, choosing between 10 classes and more than 100 unique skills.
- Strategic turn-based combat in first person view.
- A vast continent to explore, with different environments and climates. You are free to go everywhere from the beginning (but be carefull where you go because the lands of Xulima are extremely dangerous).
- Castles, towers and temples awaits you to discover their secrets.
- Inspired by the old-school classics, featuring a challenging gameplay, with riddles and lethal encounters.
This trailer should give you the basic gist:
Numantian Games states that they intend to release LoX by the end of 2013 for Windows, “then for MAC and Linux and then for consoles and perhaps in the future for tablets.” The game will be available in both English and Spanish.

I wish they wouldn’t have chosen a name so similar to “Ultima”. 😉
Certainly something to keep an eye on, though the overhead exploration plus first person combat wouldn’t necessarily be something unique to the old Phantasy Star games. If we specifically want WRPGs as examples, I’d say the original Wasteland’s interface had a similar mould.
OK, I just finished watching the trailer. The only nitpick I have is that the walking speed seems to be a bit low right now.
Yeah, the game looks fine, although I’m not a fan of JRPG-style combat. My nitpick would be the totally broken perspective in the battle screens.
Looks good. Some of the enemy attack animations look a little odd.
I think the only *real* concern I have is the writing. It looks like these folks need a native English speaker to edit the text… … …
