OnLive Adds Eschalon: Book I to the PlayPack

     This week OnLive has added just one game to the service.  Eschalon: Book I has been added to the PlayPack.  Eschalon: Book I is an indie, RPG, from Basilisk Games.  It is a single player game playable only by mouse and keyboard.  It has received a Metascore of 75. Here is a bit more about the game from OnLive.com:

-A tile-built, turn-based game world where the result of absolutely every action is rolled, calculated or statistically determined. Strategy is paramount to success; careful skill management, equipment selection and magic usage will win your fights, not rapid button clicking. We are very pleased to say this is not another ‘action RPG.’

-Hundreds of items and dozens of creatures await your discovery. A combination of randomly generated treasure and carefully hidden goodies means that no two games will play the exact same way.

-Unlimited character development style: Choose from 24 unique skills to make the character you want and 8 base attributes that affect your character’s every action throughout the game. The game world does not scale or adjust itself to match anyone’s play style, so the ease or difficulty of the game is directly related to how successful you are at developing your character.

-Combat plays out at your pace. Eschalon: Book I features a turn-based system that allows you to roll through combat as fast or as slow as you want…make it fast and furious, or analyze every option for maximum advantage.

-A non-linear storyline means that the game world is open to explore as you desire. Follow the storyline or don’t…it’s up to you. Just be careful where you go and who you choose to trust; the world of Eschalon can be a deadly place for an inexperienced adventurer.

The Tuesday Hype and Disappointment Thread is already buzzing… Let us know what you think of this week’s release here in the OnLiveFans.com Forum and check out the game trailer below.
