Hello everyone, I would like to introduce you to our indie project … an isometric ActionRPG called Natural Balance: Chronicles.
An early look at the game, via a pre-alpha demo, is publicly available via IndieDB:
Natural Balance: Chronicles is an unprecedented isometric Action RPG where your actions, along with the actions of other players, affect the world itself and everyone in it through the unique energy system with its innovative gameplay mechanics and events!
With each release of its episodic design, choose between two natural enemies and experience their independent journeys as they struggle with the harmful acts caused by the opposing race, as each side fights to sustain sufficient levels of their respective energy in order to survive.
The first chronicle in the series involves the personal stories of a fire energy wielding Pyrokin from the Elemental faction and a disease energy manipulating Virnox of the Primal faction. Which energy will you fight for as you traverse the savage, mystical planet?

About the game:
While the core of the game is similar to other ARPGs, we will offer unique features that are not currently found in any other game of this genre:
-
Energy System: The activities of every player in the world affects the global energy balance. Completing a quest, using a cistern, vanquishing an opposing faction, using the ley line (transportation) system, all directly affect those pools of energy. Players can have characters on opposing sides, creating a never ending struggle which yields unscripted results to support long-term replayability. When there is an energy imbalance, certain events occur for everyone.
-
Upheavals: When an individual energy remains at excessively high levels, the extra energy is released in that form of a cataclysmic discharge that impacts all of the active players. In the case of Fire energy, volcanoes erupt, raining balls of fire on the world. For Disease energy, corpses rise from out of the ground and plague those who wander too close.
-
Groupless Raids: When an individual energy reaches certain tiers of depletion, characters of the rival faction gain the opportunity to participate in a special raid event against a powerful enemy - without needing to be in a party, guild, or open world instance. Anyone who desires to participate in the raid can contribute, even if they are at lower levels.
-
Unannounced features: We are also working on the details about other features.
