I’m a fan of Thunder Lotus Games, which by association means I’m also a fan of their new project, Spiritfarer. Even though I pretty much never play sim or management games, outside of strategy games, this one deserves a chance. For one, it shares the trademark Thunder Lotus outstanding hand drawn visuals. For another, this teaser trailer for Spiritfarer shows off the more intense sections of the game. Sure, I’m fine with harvesting ingredients and helping people, but I am more of a fan of crazy platforming. To see the video as well as read more details about the upcoming game, just keep on reading below.
