I consider it my sworn duty to keep you informed of games that channel the energy of noughties fantasy swashbuckling sim Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and there are a surprising number of upcoming projects that borrow from the game with the best boot in the business. There's Alkahest, which has caught my eye on multiple occasions with its incredibly slick trailers (perhaps too slick, at points), and there's also Fatekeeper, which is a bit heavier on its feet than Alkahest, but nonetheless takes clear inspiration from Arkane's licensed warmup to Dishonored.
Now, a third game has entered the Dark Messiah wannabe chat. The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot is nowhere near as slick and glossy as either Fatekeeper or Alkahest. In fact, it doesn't really look like Dark Messiah at all. Despite this, it's trying the hardest to embrace the spirit of Arkane's games, and beats the other two in the fact you can actually play it.
