For years, Sideshow remained popular thanks to its stylish statues of your favorite Marvel and DC characters. Now, they've created their own custome figures, the Court of the Dead series, which proved popular with collectors. Now, they're looking to take their IP to the next level, with an ambitious video game planned for PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Mac and Linux (via Steam). They've launched a Kickstarter Campaign, which
has currently collected $40k of its $250k goal.
Check out the video below and then click the link above if you want to donate to the campaign and see the various pledge levels.
The game is described as "
a styled as a 2D side-scrolling RPG, Underworld Rising allows players to craft their avatar based on their faction of choice (Bone, Spirit, and Flesh) and their gender (Male, Female, and Gender-Neutral). From that point, players can accessorize with collectible armor, weapons, and other wearables that they earn by exploring the Underworld. Players also have the opportunity to interact with NPCs in a way not often seen in 2D side-scrollers. Relationships can be forged and your every action has consequences. Steal from a shop keeper? Watch out for a bounty on your head. Want to take an NPC out on a date, but they’re already headless? Skip going for tea."
