    I love the art style and color palette of this game! It's definitely cool to see more Jean Giraud/Moebius inspired art. I've been familiar with some of his work for a long time (like The 5th Element), but didn't actually know who he was until recently. Fun fact: the style of Studio Ghibli's unofficial first film (Nausicaa) was heavily inspired by Moebius. Also, some of the armor designs in Fabular remind me of those in Seven Deadly Sins, which is neat. Thanks for covering this one Splat, will definitely be picking it up!

    I like how you use Moebius' real name instead of the pseudonym everyone knows. By the way, his work is well known here in france and belgium among people with an interest in "bande dessinée". He will always be one of the very best and he didn't only draw sci-fi stuff. He was a tremendously talented artist and that shows too in his realist drawings

    Mix this game with Star Control and you have the perfect new Space Adventure! This is the perfect replacement for ship to ship combat in that game. Just build a deep RPG space game around that with SC2 and SC3 as the template. = Instant top tier classic.

    This one looks amazing to me, definitely going in the wish list. I'm a skinflint so I might try and wait for a sale once it drops but I may not be able to wait.
    Thanks Splat for making me aware of this title.
    I'm old and to me this reminds me a lot of Asteroids even though it's not really the same at all. I could probably put in a down payment on a house with how many quarters I pumped into arcades when I was younger. I loved arcades and arcade machines so much that I made my career in that field. I'm retired now but at one point I was the director of management for Nickelodeon Arcade Chain it was my first job in upper level management having worked my way up from assistant manager to general manager and eventually Director. A lot of good memories from games of all sorts back then...

    • @FabularOnceuponaSpacetime

    I think I hurt myself with stress over Splattercat forgetting to equip that sunblade for ages, noticing he'd forgotten and lambasting himself over it then heading to a quest location without equipping it again, and then finally doing it but failing to also equip the +20% damage module.
    Why must you hurt me like this.

    This game looks sooo good, and I mean art and play style. I love the jousting with such inertia, it pushes positioning and planning to another very interesting level.
    I'm also super glad to see art styles borrow/pay tribute to Jean Giraud, I was nodding so hard when you said he didn't get the attention he deserves.
