Dreadline: A Tactical RPG Featuring Time Traveling Monsters
 

Rarely has a headline made me smile more. It's like the developers of Dreadline looked deep into my soul and came up with a concept aimed right at my core. A crack squad of time traveling monsters - a werewolf, a mummy, a ghost and a 'Cuberick' are shown in the trailer - who have to kill specific individuals at the scene of history's greatest disasters. Even better, developer Eerie Canal Entertainment is staffed with some of the best devs in the Boston area, a crew whose credits include Bioshock, Rock Band, System Shock 2, Titan Quest and Freedom Force. The game is described by it's creators as a "Diablo/Freedom Force mashup, but faster and with more blood". That's a hell of a way to sell a game.

Dreadline is slated for an early 2013 release on the PC.

I was going to say this has a real Freedom Force vibe to it before I even read your summary.

It will definitely be on my wishlist.

Color me interested. The mix of genres and the insane premise... perfect match.

Well, original ideas are always welcome. Sounds like it could be good fun.

THEY'RE READING MY MIND!

*puts on tinfoil hat*

I hope the high concept draws people in instead of chasing them away.

I'm in. Looks interesting and fun.

BTW, we did a short interview with the developers which should go up tomorrow morning. It should give you a better sense of how Dreadline plays.
