Melee: Battlegrounds - Medieval Combat Sandbox

I stumbled across Melee: Battlegrounds on Kickstarter, which is done by the same people who created the popular cRPG mod for Mount & Blade. They are asking for $130,000 and have so far gathered a little over $27,000, with 24 days left to go.

Medieval Combat Sandbox. Earn Equipment. Upgrade skills. Build Castles. Siege Engines. Experience Massive Battles. Fight, Die, Learn!

Melee: Battlegrounds is a pre-alpha stage standalone, 100% independent game being developed as the spiritual sequel to the popular Mount & Blade Warband mod cRPG, with the intention of making the best medieval combat game available by using what was good and improving on what can be done better. The game is made upon our own homemade engine which also will allow for heavy modding - mod anything you can think of!
