It's by the cRPG devs and used to be Melee: Battlegrounds. A few guys from the NW community were a part of the Alpha, and said that it was promising. I even believe the forums for Melee are still up? Haven't checked in a long time.
Realize it's going to be Early Access so the melee isn't going to be completely fleshed out yet. I would buy it when it's on sale and wait a few patches before getting it.
