Indie games aren’t all pixel-art side scrollers and walking simulators; There are actually quite a few projects that are challenging what it means to be indie. One of the games that seems to be the most impressive in how far it has come and how much it’s done with limited resources would be Black Lodge Game’s Arcana Kira.

What’s amazing about it isn’t that it’s a large open world RPG that rivals the size of Fallout 3 or Skyrim, it’s the fact that all of this was done by only one man who managed to create it all from scratch in only three months. Considering how much is already present, it’s going to be interesting to see where the game is in a year. The developer’s description of the game should give you an idea what to expect though:

Arcana Kira is an epic action role playing game with innovative 3rd person platforming gameplay, memorable characters, and a modern aesthetic. You play as the enigmatic Arcana Kira, a space assassin chasing a bounty that will make her rich enough to retire in luxury. But such bounties are hard to secure, especially on a huge alien world and across multiple trans-dimensional boundaries while fighting hoards of elemental beasts and bosses.

If you love RPGs fused with other genres, beautiful sci-fi art, delicate handcrafted music, insane bosses, subtle dark humor and total sci-fi nerdom… Arcana Kira is for you!

You can follow Arcana Kira on their Steam Greenlight page, Black Lodge Games’ twitter feed, or its official website. The game is currently slated for a November 2nd release, but you can pre-order the game via their website for $4.99USD and gain access to the current beta build.
