The forest landscapes themselves appear very atmospheric, with sun shafts winking through foliage and spectral deer to encounter, but they’re also procedurally generated, which makes me feel less bad about the idea of treading on them in my giant avian bungalow. It’s not clear whether there’s combat, and I think combat would be out of place in Reka, but I do like the idea of going toe-to-toe with a rival enchantress in their own walking house. I’m not up to speed with the Baba Yaga legend, but perhaps there’s some overlap here with Armored Core? What I’m saying is: can I mount harpoon launchers on the roof and perhaps give my chicken-house spurs for close encounters?
Emberstorm are a young indie team based in Berlin, who met while studying game design at university. They aim to make games that are “inclusive, fun to play and beautiful to look at”, and this certainly seems to tick a couple of those boxes. Rachel (RPS in peace)was similarly impressedwhen she wrote about the game duringRPS Magic Weekin February - there are plenty of other games on that list that deserve attention.
If you’re reading this, Emberstorm - hello! I like the cut of your jib, or the cut of your tailfeathers or whatever. Best of luck getting this ready for early access.
