Terra Melior is a sci fi action RPG with challenging gameplay, an artistic style, and a chilling story. The adventure takes place on Terra Melior, a harsh planet of ice and snow that unprepared colonists are sent to after fleeing earth. Heavily influenced by Dark Souls and Mass Effect 1, this game will involve 3rd person shooting (not cover based – you’ll be dodging instead), managing a small squad, and overcoming lots of exhilarating boss battles. The game will be released on Windows and Mac. There will be a pre-order through Kickstarter that will let you get the game at a discount.
