Kindred Games has been hosting a Kickstarter campaign over the past month for Swords ‘n Magic and Stuff. Not only was the $22,000 funding target reached, but an overwhelming amount of support from backers helped the team raise almost $80,000, and a Switch stretch goal was met as well.
Swords ‘n Magic and Stuff is an open world RPG. The game ditches traditional gameplay elements like classes and levels, but supports co-op and the world is promised to be full of adventures.
Here’s some additional information and a trailer:
