New release: Driftmoon

Word has reached my ear that top-down wRPG Driftmoon is finally out! Developers Instant Kingdom describe Driftmoon as “a fully grown, well behaved adventure-rpg with a charming personality.” The premise:

The beautiful, enchanted world of Driftmoon trembles in the shadow of a forgotten evil, for the dark King Ixal is again gathering his forces.

Hope lies in an unlikely alliance: A young man joins forces with a little firefly dreaming of stardom, a panther queen with the ego of a moon whale, and a very determined fellow who’s lost everything but his bones, and still hasn’t given up. Knowing nothing of the amazing adventures and the fearsome foes that await them, the party embarks on a journey like no other.

The devs say that Driftmoon has 10-30 hours of playtime, with an included level editor and some slick mod support with one-click installation.

And look–they even made a new release trailer just for you!

Driftmoon is a Windows game, but the devs say it works in WINE as well if you’re a Linux gamer. Driftmoon can be yours for €14.99 (i.e. $19.96 USD as of the time of writing)–grab it direct from the developers via Paypal! If you want to give the game a try before you buy, however, there’s a free demo available for you to check out.

UPDATE: “To celebrate the launch, up until March 5th, Driftmoon is available for only €/$ 11,99. 15% of all direct sales from the developer’s website go to the Red Cross.”
