Chasm ? You have a terrible memory. Chasm is a rather promising sidescrolling Action-RPG, featuring Metroidvania elements and procedural generation - basically, the works. Back in January we mentioned that a demo and funding campaign were on their way at some point - and now that time has come. Discord Games are asking for $150,000 of your Kickstarter money to make the game happen; a fairly large sum, but this impressive demo may help them on their way.
With Chasm, Discord Games "are attempting to create an authentic retro experience similar to the games you . Chasm was heavily influenced by games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Diablo." That's a potent bunch of ingredients, so let's hope it comes together into something tasty. The solid, nostalgic demo is a good sign in that regard.
The five-person team have already raised over $25,000 of the $150,000 goal, and there are 28 days left for them to acquire the rest. If you've exhausted the demo and you need further convincing, here's a monsterific gameplay trailer from GDC.
