As a further bonus, the developers have made the demo available early for the nerd castle : store.steampowered.com/app/645720/Fabular_Once_upon_a_Spacetime/ Thanks so much for your generosity devs. You're too kind.
No need to be humble brave Sir Splat, your patronage has seen many indie titles "bloweth up" forsooth... =) ps. Good to see the devs in channel, the game looks fantastic guys. The indie community is really carrying water for the games industry as a whole over the last few years and it's appreciated.
Guessing at the icons, the Manticore appears to have low defense, maxed out Rebel Alliance, slightly below average Shazaam, slightly above average combat, and average magic.
Another banger commentary. Dawg, sounds weird but the positive reinforcement you exude through yourself talk is legitimately teaching me to be a more confident person. Dude out here making me believe in myself through gameplay, crazy.
I love the art style and color palette of this game! It's definitely cool to see more Jean Giraud/Moebius inspired art. I've been familiar with some of his work for a long time (like The 5th Element), but didn't actually know who he was until recently. Fun fact: the style of Studio Ghibli's unofficial first film (Nausicaa) was heavily inspired by Moebius. Also, some of the armor designs in Fabular remind me of those in Seven Deadly Sins, which is neat. Thanks for covering this one Splat, will definitely be picking it up!
This game has such a beautiful design to it. Love the art and everything in the UI is just gorgeous! Perfect Color Scheme! I can't hear the sound but i hope it is as good as the other aesthetics.
I like how you use Moebius' real name instead of the pseudonym everyone knows. By the way, his work is well known here in france and belgium among people with an interest in "bande dessinée". He will always be one of the very best and he didn't only draw sci-fi stuff. He was a tremendously talented artist and that shows too in his realist drawings
This game looks sooo good, and I mean art and play style. I love the jousting with such inertia, it pushes positioning and planning to another very interesting level. I'm also super glad to see art styles borrow/pay tribute to Jean Giraud, I was nodding so hard when you said he didn't get the attention he deserves.
This one looks amazing to me, definitely going in the wish list. I'm a skinflint so I might try and wait for a sale once it drops but I may not be able to wait. Thanks Splat for making me aware of this title. I'm old and to me this reminds me a lot of Asteroids even though it's not really the same at all. I could probably put in a down payment on a house with how many quarters I pumped into arcades when I was younger. I loved arcades and arcade machines so much that I made my career in that field. I'm retired now but at one point I was the director of management for Nickelodeon Arcade Chain it was my first job in upper level management having worked my way up from assistant manager to general manager and eventually Director. A lot of good memories from games of all sorts back then...
Splattercat could you imagine The Death Star pulling out a planet sized dagger shanking a planet then moves forward just a bit more and there's just some guy on the PA system saying "Biiiiiiitchhh~" right before another arm from The Death Star rips off a chunk of the target planet's most mineral rich sector. I would LAUGH until I had abs.
Mix this game with Star Control and you have the perfect new Space Adventure! This is the perfect replacement for ship to ship combat in that game. Just build a deep RPG space game around that with SC2 and SC3 as the template. = Instant top tier classic.
I think I hurt myself with stress over Splattercat forgetting to equip that sunblade for ages, noticing he'd forgotten and lambasting himself over it then heading to a quest location without equipping it again, and then finally doing it but failing to also equip the +20% damage module. Why must you hurt me like this.
I used to joust with my friend using bicycles and brooms. This was in the early 90's and scars were considered a badge of honor. Pro tip: Wear helmets, and pads.
@Jack Sorry, I thought most of his audience were the M word. Then again if they were, the whole bike part would frighten the majority. I shall return to my post on my tiny chair behind my crown molding.
A tea leaf is a thief. That and half inch (pinch) are quite common, and everyone in the UK knows to have a butchers means to have a look. Butcher's hook: look. There're a few there that I don't know, but then I'm not a cockney.
The menus seem very static. Some minor movement would help a lot, like jester could be playing on his instrument, the others could jiggle a bit or anything really.
I put almost three hours into the demo - it was a ton of fun. My main concern is in 3 playthrughs I had a bunch of repeateded encounters, and the weapon variety wasnt high. Ill chalk it up to demo! Im looking forward to this
'tea leaves' is thieves. Cocky slang is almost always simply the last word rhyms with the real word- so look at the context, and try to think of a word that makes sense and in a lot of cases its fairly obvious.
It's a game where you and enemies move and slide around where you're supposed to time melee attacks to hit targets while avoiding their own swings at you, and they added damage on touch when you come in contact with enemies. These devs have no idea what's good for them.
I get what he means- rather than under rated tho i'd say he is overlooked and quite obscure- very few people know them- even plenty of comic /manga readers wont know them. They deserve to be more widely known.
I love this visually, and am sold on the core gameplay. Will be waiting for the full release, and if the rest of game is as fun as this looks, it'll be great match. Thanks for introducing to another cool game, Splatt
Flight of Nova really needs you to do a review, Splat! The game is finally out in EA, it is a solid, really unique game, but so far has just a handful of players. Hope you will take a look at it soon, you are like the Indie game Messiah!
6:22 like that, they added Cockney Slang, I understand a chunk of it because my dad is a Cockney translation - would you believe it they're back, what you want this time my daughter, come rub my face in it (boat is short for boat race which is cockney for face) tea leafs - thieves (had to google that one) bee and honey Splat got it spot on Half-itched me sausage and mash - pitched my cash, minces I think is fists I can see this game being addictive
Greetings Splat, I'm a long time viewer and i wanted to say i love your content.Gotta say i think this game looks very promising, and if it plays as good as it looks i am definitely going to enjoy it.
@@Andromitor True, but it doesn't say "Ranged." I've played enough Path of Exile to know what the tooltip listings mean. If one isn't listed, it doesn't apply.
Wen you say you are gettin old I feel that. I was playing DRG with some friends and during a recovery mission one dwarf says; It's time to call home'' and I tell my friends - Did he just say time to call home???'' Damn I'm old
Yes Splat, time is the great HORROR. Oh NO! NEVER mention the zuckerberg-creatures abomination, a baby angel dies every time you do that! Luv the graphics. Space-knights a classic sci/fi sub-genre. Used to be a lot of that in the times of the classic pulp magazines.
Ahhh man not again... Another game I have to get. Come on Splattercat. These indie games may be cheaper than AAA games, but in the long run I buy more of these indies and I am still broke all the time. lol

Nice, always love free shit... especially high quality free shit
@@FabularOnceuponaSpacetime Your game looks amazing xD Please keep this ambition moving forward! Looking forward to further releases
**Splat takes 5 minutes and about 300 words to describe genre of the game**
Me: It's gonna be a good one
Guessing at the icons, the Manticore appears to have low defense, maxed out Rebel Alliance, slightly below average Shazaam, slightly above average combat, and average magic.
I love myself some ship with maxed out Shazaam, never know when that'll be useful
Perfect for a hit and run machine
Another banger commentary. Dawg, sounds weird but the positive reinforcement you exude through yourself talk is legitimately teaching me to be a more confident person. Dude out here making me believe in myself through gameplay, crazy.
Brick and mortar = daughter
Tea leaf = thief
Battle cruiser = boozer (pub, public house, bar)
Sausage and mash = cash
Minces (mince pies) = eyes
How do you fuckers come up with this shit?

Yes the sound is also quite pleasant :-)
"Drive me closer so I could hit them with my sword!: The Game"
Yep - that's very Warhammer 40k ;-)
18:00 my potions are too strong for you traveler!
Splatter: Buys an item, and doesn't equip it for 10 minutes.
Me: Breathing nervously for 10 minutes.
14:15 "wild approach". Good review and game seems interesting. Cheers!
15:00 Anyone else internally scream "Equip the damn weapon you bought!!"? Classic splat.
18:30 Finally. Only took you like 4 fights.
NOOOO. He said it but still didn't do it. FFS.
20:30 Thank god.

One of the inspirations for the game was actually Asteroids itself. :) Oh, an Lunar Lander. We're old too. :D
This game looks fucking phenomenal.

@@FabularOnceuponaSpacetime nice game!

@Jack yeah if I did that shit now I'd never get back up.

"Ivanho in space" i didnt expect to feel so old so quickly into the video
How does a book reference make you feel old?
daaamn the game look so good the graphic the gameplay the originality this game is a true gem a rare kind !
A tea leaf is a thief. That and half inch (pinch) are quite common, and everyone in the UK knows to have a butchers means to have a look. Butcher's hook: look. There're a few there that I don't know, but then I'm not a cockney.
I gotta go play this!
I love everything about this one already!
The menus seem very static. Some minor movement would help a lot, like jester could be playing on his instrument, the others could jiggle a bit or anything really.
I put almost three hours into the demo - it was a ton of fun.
My main concern is in 3 playthrughs I had a bunch of repeateded encounters, and the weapon variety wasnt high. Ill chalk it up to demo! Im looking forward to this
Apparently they're releasing an early access version in a few days that will have more variety, across weapons, enemies and miniquests/events
Been following this game since you last covered it. Nice to see something about it.
'tea leaves' is thieves. Cocky slang is almost always simply the last word rhyms with the real word- so look at the context, and try to think of a word that makes sense and in a lot of cases its fairly obvious.
The toot toot of victory!

splattercat must be the first guy who ever thought Mœbius was actually underrated!
ever
I get what he means- rather than under rated tho i'd say he is overlooked and quite obscure- very few people know them- even plenty of comic /manga readers wont know them.
They deserve to be more widely known.
Splat's Condensed Commentary: 31:22
26:40 It says at the bottom that it is a melee-ranged weapon so assume it counts.
This was really unexpected and quite cool -- well played so far :D
In the immortal words of Wakko Warner, this game is Faboo
Once upon a spacetime is a really good catch-line.
Medieval Mecha Jousting Roguelike... That's perfect!
You had me at space joust.
I love this visually, and am sold on the core gameplay.
Will be waiting for the full release, and if the rest of game is as fun as this looks, it'll be great match.
Thanks for introducing to another cool game, Splatt
man that Archbald just makes me remember prozd
excited to try this one out
This seems almost like Outlaw Star the video game, but playing as a chivalrous knight rather than a Western-style outlaw. Very cool.
Yes, outlaw star vibes from the ship combat is fantastic
The combat reminds me of the anime Outlaw Star.
I was thinking the same thing, with the arms coming out of the ships.
Flight of Nova really needs you to do a review, Splat! The game is finally out in EA, it is a solid, really unique game, but so far has just a handful of players. Hope you will take a look at it soon, you are like the Indie game Messiah!
This game gives me pretty serious Hammerfight vibes, although the actual resemblance is pretty minor.
6:22 like that, they added Cockney Slang, I understand a chunk of it because my dad is a Cockney
translation - would you believe it they're back, what you want this time my daughter, come rub my face in it
(boat is short for boat race which is cockney for face)
tea leafs - thieves (had to google that one) bee and honey Splat got it spot on
Half-itched me sausage and mash - pitched my cash, minces I think is fists
I can see this game being addictive
this game looks fun! thanks for letting me discover it
I feel you. We are close in age and I am already feeling the start of the steady decline. Terrible feeling. I wish you the best of health.
Definitely have to give this demo a download
looks super awesome
I have been waiting so long
absolutely stunning artstyle
You said *Mecha!* These are float boxy dudes... oh well
Star Control with swords!!!
13:21 it`s so funny how the horn look like your avatar.. look like a ventriloquist
Oh my gods I finally found this game again.
cool to see new ideas. game looks solid
I think idle clicker games were the first to introduce reincarnation bonuses, ie starting over and gaining bonuses for your next run xD
Nice game, remind me of another old game "Hammerfight".
Greetings Splat, I'm a long time viewer and i wanted to say i love your content.Gotta say i think this game looks very promising, and if it plays as good as it looks i am definitely going to enjoy it.
Medieval mechs? This is Escaflowne.
Even has a guy in a "scrying throne"(Prognostication Engine).
The good ole days of dealing with highway men on every road XD
These games are rad. Crying suns and Children of Morta were so good. But these dang recommendations of Alpha games! Still, lot to look forward.
you had me at "medieval mecha"
This one would find a Ranger/Druid class with AI animal ship companion options very interesting...
26:39 It say melee at the top; under the weapon name
I would be willing to bet that your taunt ability only procs when you Perfect Dash. Especially considering you have upgrades for doing it.
Time flies in spacetime!
This game looks really really awesome.
Everybody loves Moebius. ^.^ And if they don't, there's something wrong with 'em!
Looks like fighting bugs in space. Pretty cool title.
Morning Splat and chat!
"You've been bootied up"
6:50 brick and mortar is obviously rick and morty
Awesome review!
Sir Archibald? Will we be recruiting Lysanderoth next?
27:00 The weapon description at the bottom of the tooltip says "Glaives are a melee range weapon that..." I didn't get the rest.
It says projectile at the top
@@Andromitor True, but it doesn't say "Ranged."
I've played enough Path of Exile to know what the tooltip listings mean. If one isn't listed, it doesn't apply.
Makes me think of an old anime called Outlaw star
Look like GALAK-Z which is a very fun space Mecha Roguelite.
If you like this mix of genre, I highly suggest to give it a try.
Wen you say you are gettin old I feel that. I was playing DRG with some friends and during a recovery mission one dwarf says; It's time to call home'' and I tell my friends - Did he just say time to call home???''
Damn I'm old
What is the significance of calling home...?
@@orochifire ET reference
@@Blackrockmore Did he specifically say "phone home," or something? Because that's the ET phrase.
That's not jousting, that's a buhurt. Jousting is highly formalized, with only two opponents and a special arena.
Is there a Outlaw Star
mod?
Yes Splat, time is the great HORROR. Oh NO! NEVER mention the zuckerberg-creatures abomination, a baby angel dies every time you do that! Luv the graphics. Space-knights a classic sci/fi sub-genre. Used to be a lot of that in the times of the classic pulp magazines.
Looks like your flying a roaster chicken.
Ahhh man not again... Another game I have to get. Come on Splattercat. These indie games may be cheaper than AAA games, but in the long run I buy more of these indies and I am still broke all the time. lol

Anyone interested in similar game - check Hammerfight. Physics-based combat with Middle-East-in-Space setting.
lol you never equipped the melee or ranged modules. Only the knight doesn’t need to be equipped
Loved the video!
All hail the Algorithm
A skill based FTL? Bring it on!
starts at 2:07
you have to be using a random word generator to make those titles, gave me a good laugh
This has full controller support, nice. I wonder if it's on the switch?
It hopefully will be after the full Steam version comes out.
@@FabularOnceuponaSpacetime i would 100% buy that
