Initially, we aimed for a turn-based (TB) system and continuously refined it. However, despite our efforts, it proved to be too slow for the game we envisioned. Moreover, based on our prior playtesting, TB tends to become repetitive and uninteresting over time.

Therefore, we decided to try something different. Instead of using turns, we implemented an active pause/slow time mode. Personally, having the ability to dodge an incoming fireball, for example, instead of just accepting a hit in turn-based combat can be quite an exciting experience.

I highly recommend giving it a try :)

I am typically a turn based guy myself, was thinking how great this would be turn based, but the current combat is fun and its slowed enough to switch between characters and make tactical decisions, I am enjoying it ..

Really wish this had a demo since I prefer turn based over real time also. It does work better that way sometimes though. Dragon Age Origins was tactical and it worked out well. Too bad I can't see for myself before buying it.

A Polish developer already had this style in "Tower of Time" :)
I do not digest games with an active pause and even less with a chopper without it:)
But the graphic style in your game suits me very well. Particular praise for the graphic designers of the interface, it seems clear and nice at the same time!:)
As there will be a DEMO of the game you can check it out, but this type of combat will 99% not appeal to me, mainly because I like to think calmly. Well, and real time combat does not mean that it will not be repetitive, since all the time at our disposal we have the same skills in combat anyway:)
EDIT: "Something different" is nothing new, and on YT you can already see that I don't even want a demo:/.
I'm waiting for the implementation of turn-based battles. OBSIDIAN with PoE 2 did that and it worked:)

I disagree 100% that turn-based gets repetitive and uninteresting. However, different folks have different opinions. I will ALWAYS prefer a turn-based game over real time, but the fact you have active pause keeps this game in my wheel house.

I still wish you kept the turn-based option, but I'm buying it nevertheless. I loved Tower of Time, and this one looks equallly fun.

Wait a minute, isn't ToT your game? :D
Well that's where I fell in love with the music :D
But I was annoyed by the non turn-based combat :D
Pozdrawiam serdecznie!!!
I trzymam kciuki!!!

I don't like turn based combat which is the main reason I've stayed away from Baldurs Gate. I liked Dragon Age Origins because it wasn't turn based. I don't want a dice throw deciding my fate. Might as well just play a table top game with friends if you want that.

I'm with OP on this one, I was curious about this game and saw the real time with pause.
Fastest way for me to go from a "why not" to a "no thanks" in my book.

Maybe if someone makes a turn based mod one day I'll try this game, meanwhile I'll pass.

I played for about an hour and with a controller the real time is just too cumbersome for me. It plays kind of like diofield chronicles.

Dziękujemy i również pozdrawiamy :)

If you want the option to dodge fireballs, then do full on action combat. Pick turn based or action, don't try to do both because you'll fail and end up with crap like this game.

Funny how you missunderstand the fact that realtime mean no dice.... You clearly do not know what you are talking about. Moreover DA:O uses three six-sided dice for all rolls. Game like the first and second baldur gate are the same. they use dice system. And they are a lot more of those real time RPG game who do that. But again... you just do not see them really. Turn based games are not only about "rolling" dice but about controlling the tactics with precision.

RtwP and adjustable slo mo mechanism should be gold standard for RtwP cRPGs since the launch of PoE.

RtwP is infinitely more precise. You can control all characters 100% of the time and move over half an inch to miss the fireball lobbed at you. Turn based you control these
things when? Thats right...only during said turns for 'X' amt of AP.
