Flare

A single-player 2D action RPG. Flare is not a reimplementation of an existing game or engine. It is a tribute to and exploration of the action RPG genre.

The game is still in Alpha and it shows. Flare v0.17 is scheduled to come out this Friday 28th. The engine will be very close to Beta at the end of 2012. During 2013 the development team will move beyond the current alpha tech demo and hopefully create a great classic-style RPG.

You can read more about flare via the games developers site HERE and see the game in action via THIS video.

Flare: a free open source RPG with tons of potential

Fans of action RPGs have been spoiled silly over the last couple of weeks, but if you have any free time between Torchlight II and Borderlands 2 sessions – I mean, you are wasting around eight hours on sleep – you might want to keep an eye on Flare. The 0.16 alpha version of the ambitious open source RPG has just been added to Desura, with number 0.17 expected on the morrow.

Either one will grant you hours of isometric exploration and monster-stabbing, for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. The game is expected to move into beta in 2013, but there’s already a lot of bang for your no bucks, even if Flare is a little rough around the edges.

The game’s built on its own open source engine, so there’s a hell of a lot of potential here when it comes to the art of modding – in fact, there’s already one total conversion in the works. You can get Flare through Desura or the official website, and see a video of the game in action below.
