Elysian Shadows is an intriguing looking 2D RPG that's currently looking for funding through a Kickstarter campaign. With 13 days to go it's already sucked up $100,000, but it needs another $50,000 to pass its funding goal.

The game is looking to push the retro RPG genre into the future, adding particles, dynamic lighting, and other shiny things to take the pixel art up to the next level. Or something like that.

There are obvious Chrono Trigger and Zelda influences in the footage we've seen. You run around waving a big sword, chopping up any monsters that get in the way, and generally having a good ol' adventure.

Elysian Shadows is slated for Android, iOS, and Ouya. And more importantly it's coming out on Dreamcast, which might not fit in your pocket, but is still the best console ever.

You can find out more about the game by clicking here or watching the trailer all the way back at the top of the article. And then throw some money at it if you want to. No pressure though.
