Pixel x Pixel Games has launched a kickstarter campaign for the game Guardians of the Rose. Guardians of the Rose is a story-driven 2D action adventure RPG.  It controls like a modernized, fast-paced version of old-school Zelda and Gauntlet games with the RPG elements of the Elder Scrolls Series.

Guardians of the Rose is a story of high adventure, taken on by a small group of companions, that are seeking to overthrow the Great Witches that have assumed control of the kingdom.  You are a newly christened member of the Royal Guard, the magic-keepers of the king.  With the Royal Guard now tainted by witchcraft you have no choice
but to take it upon yourself to form a new Guard that will overthrow the witchcraft that has enslaved the kingdom. Encounters with river spirits, groundlings, giants, and dragons alike are some of the adventures that will befall you.
