The narrative point of view is an intriguing flip from what you usually see in the genre. It's a new take without being over-the-top camp. So, yes, it has some dark humor, but that isn't the main goal. What's new to the action-RPG table gameplaywise is a frosty game engine that shows off a complex, detailed world. Or at least that's what we've been told. Y'see, the game is a ways off -- we're talking 2009, here -- and Firefly showed very little actual gameplay. But the premise that the developer is selling sounds compelling. The general idea is that this dungeon is a living, breathing underground goblin society. They have the same problems we do aboveground (but they also happen to get universal health care -- someone needs to help a limbless goblin soldier suffering from poison inhalation). And they are waging a losing war against an evil force moving into the dungeon.
Too early to tell how this one is going to pan out.
