“Midnight Wave was born from what-ifs,” comments lead developer Andrew Walthall. “What if we mashed up gameplay from classics like Fire Emblem and Super Smash Bros.? What if we added in narrative choices from games like Mass Effect? We took those what-ifs and ran with them, and now we’re creating an RPG like no other! Midnight Wave is easily the most ambitious project any of us have worked on.”
Midnight Wave is on Kickstarter looking to raise $47,337 USD to fund development and to hire on the impressive roster of talent to give voice to the game’s memorable cast of characters. A copy of the game is available starting at the $15 support level, while beta access, exclusive items, the soundtrack, and helping the team design various elements of the game are available at higher support tiers.
