Trailer looks comical. Does the game have this kind of humor too?

I still haven't bought GD yet, I missed that daily deal when that special period was on a while back

Looks pretty good! Can do both real time, and pauseable planned battles.
With Skyrim like open world

Does this mean it's actually finished now? Jeesus Creesus it feels like I pre-ordered this thing 5 years ago. But I'm not a dang beta tester. I'm waiting for it to actually be released.

New trailer - early access on Steam this year
Hellraid will be a game that's focused on both cooperative gameplay and first-person hack-and-slash action, and will feature randomly-generated dungeons in an effort to keep the game from ever feeling stale or repetitive. Along the way, you'll encounter dozens of different enemies -- each with their own skills, equipment, strengths and weaknesses -- and Techland says the final retail version of Hellraid will include more than 100,000 lootable items

Looks very cool - a first person, ARPG focused on the mage!
With crafting, loot and what not. From what I can tell you can create all types and combos of spells to suit your play style
Alpha, early access on Steam right now - also coming out on consoles
Lichdom very much looks and feels like an HD, spellcasting-based version of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

The footage is taken directly from the game's editor mode with many things disabled so don't take it as an example of final game.
It's taken from the Umbra 3 GDC video. I have only extracted it at source quality, nothing else(same applies to audio). The blacks were destroyed in source footage itself. You can also spot a crossbow in the video, next to his swords.

Interview - small team, but big game it seems
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/06/05/northern-shadow-interview/
Güneş: The world is divided between continental zones. We haven’t made a real life scale comparison, but each zone takes around 10 minutes between the farthest point to traverse by flying at player speed, and up to 20 minutes by running on foot. We are planning to have around 3 overworld zones like this. There is also an Underworld, which is divided into smaller chunks, but its total size is comparable to an overworld zone.

Your kingdom, your peopleBuild and improve your own city. Communicate with other kingdoms, negotiate trade agreements and build alliances. Defend your city and your lands.Classic RPG systemsIn combat, depend on your own skills, rather than statistics on your character sheet. Use spells or weapons, you can play the game your way.Living WorldLiving economy allows you to see the ripples of your own actions all around the world. Your steward will take care of your city while you are gone.ExploreDiscover worlds both above, and beneath the earth. Find precious mineral veins and other treasures.
Gameplay
You can only control your own character. Build your city by talking to your steward, or workers and selecting an appropriate lot from a miniature map. Protect your surrounding lands by ordering patrols and giving special missions to your troops. Troop effectiveness is determined by their training and weapons/armor quality.
Your cities can produce different wares, which you can trade with other kingdoms if you wish, but you have to protect your roads and provide safe environment for traders first. Wage war or form alliances with other computer controlled kingdoms as you see fit.
It is all text based (no voice overs), but has an expanding story with many arcs.
