Update #26 · Apr 18, 2013 · 6 comments

Hello LoA Backers,

Today we released the Developer Video - Basic Combat 

The video explains the basics of the physics based combat system as well as shows some of the new reworked animation system.

The new and innovative Physics Based Combat System is one of the features that makes Legends of Aethereus stand out from the pack and combined with the diverse skill tree and massive crafting system it is a new breed of Action RPG game. 

We also got a nice article on Rock, Paper Shotgun
