This year is loaded with major action platformer titles. Silksong, Axiom Verge 2, Gleamlight, Bushiden...but theres a title that also should be featured right up there along those other big names too.
SAVIOR
On sep 11 this year it launched a successful kickstarter.
It flew under many people's radar but that's why I'm hear to share.
THIS GAME IS GORGEOUS IN MOTION.
You use parkour and your jumps and landings are dynamic and context sensitive varying depending on the terrain and combat is more than the casual norm too.
Heres a excerpt from the campaign on that.
Combat
Every block, dodge and strike is clean and reactive. NPCs have attack patterns that you'll learn over time, so fights are quick as you come to anticipate your opponent's reactions.
Diplomacy
You can win opponents to your cause with your words and actions. They'll remember encounters and build a positive or negative relationship with you. Over time you can convince them to abandon hostility and help you rebuild Arcadia.
Please dont sleep on this title folks.
Posting all this info in Hope's those who missed it put it o. Their radar and spread the word. Feel free to post images and share thoughts.

Combat

- Strike 6-Directions - Strike up, high (standing), low (crouched), down (when airborne), or behind you high and low. Hit targets all around you with ease.
- Block - Auto-block most attacks with one button. Blocks will cost you ground and stamina. If you block exactly on the strike timing, you'll instantly counter-attack.
- Dodge - By crouching before a high strike or jumping just before a low strike you'll open up a window of vulnerability in your opponent. Strike fast for a guaranteed hit!
- Be Unconventional - When encountering an aggressor, you'll have options. Douse them with water, intimidate them with staff spins or impress them with epic dance moves!
Diplomacy
You can win opponents to your cause with your words and actions. They'll remember encounters and build a positive or negative relationship with you. Over time you can convince them to abandon hostility and help you rebuild Arcadia.
- Complete Quests - Quest to gain favor, secrets, and powerful items. Plus you'll change your surroundings in lasting ways that will make your way forward easier.
- Choose Your Style - Talk people into joining your cause. Fight them until they relent. Or make their favorite meal or douse them in water. Get creative!
- Debate - Part of your arsenal will be solid arguments. Only some will respond to a good argument right away, but you can plant seeds of doubt that grow over time.
- Build Reputation - As you become known, NPCs will treat you differently. Get discounts at shops, help with quests and access to secret areas and equipment.
Please dont sleep on this title folks.
