I've recently learned that there has been a spiritual successor (Which pays direct homage) to Legend of Kyrandia, called the Legend of Skye, released recently to steam as of April 2nd. I've only started playing it, and it's doing a good job emulating that old 90's adventure game style, and while I think it looks a little more simplistic then Kyrandia, it's still very good. There's alot to like about this game, but I one special note I want to make is for the main protagonist- Skye is a Druid, and she seems like a cross of the best aspects of both Brandon and Zanthia- She's kind of a Ditz who talks like a Valley girl and is overly naive of the world at large, having lived in the forest all her life and only interacting with a nearby small village, but also being very physically competent and kicking ass with magic.
I think Ross would like it if he likes Kyrandia, cause I mean- this game is essentially trying to be more Kyrandia. Maybe that feels a little cheap, though I do like artists trying to give old genres and styles of games with some more modern and well learned design practices. Kind of like Arzette paying tribute to Legend of Zelda Faces of Evil.
