Umbra Kickstarter Passes Funding Goal in Just Five Days

Umbra developer SolarFall Games has announced that its Kickstarter for action-RPG Umbra has passed the 50% funding mark after just five days. 

At the time of writing, the game has generated $123,000 with 26 days to go. 

"We've been knocked off of our feet by the incredibly positive reaction received for Umbra! To say that we're humbled, at hitting such a significant milestone in funding and being Greenlit so fast, is an understatement" Daniel Dolui, Lead Programmer and Game Director at SolarFall Games, commented in a press release "We still have a long way to go, but with your support we can make our game a reality!"

Set "in a corrupted world that is falling apart," you play as an ex-soldier sentenced to death due to your magic powers but escape and are hunted by monsters and humans alike, before being hired by the mysterious Templars.

The PC and Linux game, which has been approved on Steam Greenlight, is being developed using CryTek's CryEngine 3.
