Indie developer Roach Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Kingdoms of the Dump, their throwback turn-based RPG / platformer game.
The new Kickstarter campaign for Kingdoms of the Dump is now live and is seeking $60,000 to help finish the game. Console ports are possible if the Kickstarter hits a $80,000 stretch goal.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
Kingdoms of the Dump is a game about a world of trash created by two real-life janitors. While designed to evoke the 90’s JRPG flavor, we have incorporated adventure and platforming inspirations as well as modern design innovations to the genre.
The King of Garbagia has been trashpicked! Disgraced squire Dustin Binsley is blamed for the kidnapping and must embark on a mission to clear his name. Cross the Lands of Fill, uncover hidden secrets in the trash, and expose the evil organization trying to destroy the Kingdoms of the Dump!
