Freeman: Star Edge takes flight on Kickstarter October 3rd and it contains a nice variety of awesome!
You might be wonder... what in the hell is Freeman: Star Edge?! Well... it's described as a free-form sandbox sci-fi action RPG, allowing you to explore various planets and stars engaging in tactical space + ground combat. Sounds ambitious and if you take a look at the video below... it also looks the part.
From the Source:
Freeman: Star Edge was successfully greenlit on steam back in January 2017. The game is a complete sandbox experience giving players the freedom to explore and travel the universe without the limitations. Exiled to the Star Edge, raiders, warlords, and merchants vie for wealth and power in distant galaxies. Every choice is your own, choose to gather and trade, explore strange lands, or command starship armadas. The destiny of entire worlds await.
“We want to combine space exploration with ground expeditions. And merge realistic Arma style combat with intense large-scale space combat into one-fluent single player game,” says, Lead developer, Hai Ren, during an interview with CobraTV.
Many people are describing the Freeman: Star Edge game as “It is like a mashup of Mount & Blade, Skyrim and Mass Effect.”
The studio just launched their thunderclap to support their upcoming Kickstarter campaign due to launch on Oct 3rd 2017, https://www.thunderclap.it/

This game feels like a cross between... Phantasy Star Online, Mass Effect and ARMA... with the gloves off.
Overall... if they can pull it off, it should be a game worth the investment because the playtime should be heavy. If they are able to give gamers the option to customize as they plan on doing with modders... it should be even sicker. I want to see all sorts of ships, land vehicles, buildings, and cities worth exploring. Anyway, give it a try and see what you think of it thus far! The guys are banging on my door so we can go and grab a super late lunch.
