Fade RPG: The Sacrifice is an indie RPG in development at solo developer Knight by Night, which is cool and all, but it's the fact that it's a Soulslike inspired by Fable and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood that I suspect is fueling its Kickstarter funding surge.
To be clear, I give 100% of the credit to Knight by Night for getting Fade to 139% Kickstarter funding. I haven't had the chance to play it, but its trailer looks like a faithful, but unique tribute to the older Souls games, with a blend of influences from the aforementioned IP to Dragon's Dogma. I'm just trying to think of a combination of words that could appeal to a wider net of nerds, and I can't think of one to top "Soulslike meets Fable with a dash of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood," one of the most beloved anime series of all time.
