Indie developer Discord Games is currently working on Chasm, a 2D Metroidvania currently en route to the PC, Mac, and Linux. The trailer below certainly shows a lot of promise, and we may be looking at a real winner here once the game launches.
Chasm features RPG mechanics and hack-and-slash gameplay. Players must traverse dangerous dungeons and take on all manner of baddies. Areas are randomly generated, and there's plenty of loot to be found.
If you're interested, you can give Chasm your vote on Steam Greenlight. The game is due out sometime in 2014, which is a painfully long wait.
