Ist zwar noch aus'm letzten Jahr, aber als Appetizer mehr als geil genug.

"Galactic Keep: Dice Battles is so original and so inventive, that any attempt to compare it to other media comes up short. Like Warhammer Quest, it is a turn-based dungeon crawler, but the sci-fi setting is weirder (exuberantly so) and more full of variety. Like Out There, the game pays humble homage to the comics and pen-and-paper RPGs of the 1980s, but it’s more ostentatious and violent than Mi-Clos’ melancholy exploration game. Gilded Skull designer Rob Lemon’s art and writing would slot him seamlessly into a gig at Image Comics working on Prophet.
The greatest achievement of Galactic Keep is the fiction, the universe. Any nerd with coherent memories of the mid-1980s will instantly feel at home, but this world is completely one-of-a-kind. Lemon’s coalition of alien bounty hunters is filled with fascinating original characters and his creature designs borrow little from familiar sources. There’s no Alien or Predator knock-offs, no sci-fi Indiana Jones and no light-sabres. The game is so completely fresh that I found myself playing it just see a new item or the next beast."
