When you think long and hard about it, video gaming comes across as an alarmingly inward-looking medium. We’d like to think that no matter where you are, what you stand for or how you’ve been brought up, you’ll rise to prominence if you’ve got the poise, the talent and, most importantly, the desire. In reality, though, big-name video gaming monoliths stem predominantly from the the ‘conventional’ regions of the globe – the USAs, United Kingdoms and Western Europes, if you will.

That’s why casting a glance over a Belarussian-developed turn-based RPG wets our whistles more than just a smidgeon. What’s even better is that it looks mightily impressive.

We’re talking about Legends of Eisenwald, a beautifully rendered role-playing strategy-em-up from Minsk’s Aterdux Entertainment. A measured, tactically-driven experience, the game is currently embarking on a Kickstarter campaign that has managed to accrue over $46,000 as of this writing, with over ten days left to run.
