Nov 28, 2017, 21:05 Fyra Frost

Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide has made a great job making most players forget about strategy games when we think about titles based on the Warhammer Fantasy franchise. This co-operative FPS adventure for up to 4 players perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the Old World and the bloody battles against the fierce followers of the Horned Rat, the vile Skavens. Developer Fatshark has gladly surprised us with the announcement of the first campaign DLC for Vermintide. With the title of Karak Azgaraz, it will take us from the infested streets of the imperial city of Ubersreik to the area of the imposing Grey Mountains. Once an impregnable dwarven fortress, Karak Azgaraz is now invaded by the filthy ratmen and poses as a great challenge for the heroes, that will have to complete three new missions in a quest to warn nearby settlements of the approaching skaven army. Getting through the ancient halls of the Dwarfen Khazid Kro to reach the mountains and seach for the Cursed Rune, and finally climb to the mountaintop and light the first beacon to trigger the Chain of Fire will be a difficult task. But apart form the usual weaponry, both Bardin Goreksson, the Dwarf Ranger and Victor Saltzpyre, the Witch Hunter will be able to get new weapons (warpick and falchion respectively) to help rampaging through the skaven hordes. Other than the 3 new maps and the 2 weapons, this paid DLC includes three new achievements for players to get.

Civilization VI launch trailer is out!

Oct 18, 2017, 10:49 Fyra Frost

Not many strategy franchises have managed to release six different titles over the years, but Civilization has managed to sucessfully reinvent itself quite a few times already. The 15 awards won during E3 2016, including “Best Strategy Game” and “Best PC Game” demonstrate that the saga is still fresh and quite appealing to the public 25 years after the launch of its first title in 1991. 2K Games and Firaxis Games have released the launch trailer for this new installment of Sid Meier’s series that you can watch below: Civilization VI Launch Trailer – International Version Among the interesting new features introduced in the game, it is to be noted the possibility of expanding cities so they occupy several tiles, allowing you to take full advantage of the surrounding terrain. Also, you will be able to assign secondary units like artillery to other combat units and merge a few units of the same type into a more powerful “corps” version, opening a new layer of tactical options in combat. If you add to that a revamped diplomacy system and new multiplayer scenarios designed to be finished in a single session, you end with a more complete game that can even be enjoyed if you do not have that much time to play. Civilization VI is up for release in just a few days, on October 21th. So you won’t have to wait too much longer to play one of the best turn based strategy series of all times once again.

Obsidian’s upcoming RPG arrives next month

Oct 14, 2017, 17:43 Fyra Frost

Obsidian Entertainment has proved that isometric RPGs are not dead or something from the past. They managed to crowfund the award-winning Pillars of Eternity through Kickstarter and release an excellent RPG that all the fans of classics like Baldur’s Gate or Neverwinter Nights would love. Their new project Tyranny is going to put us on an unusual position when it comes to fantasy roleplaying. We are not going to be the heroes trying to save the world anymore. The bad guys already won and controls the world. We are on his side and we love it. In words of the game’s lead producer, Matthew Singh, “Not only were you on their side, you were actually one of their leaders. You don’t start out as your average farmboy that’s picked up a rusty dagger for the first time, murdering rats in a sewer. You start this game with a position of authority.” Tyranny – “Fatebinder” – Release Date Reveal Trailer In Tyranny we will play as a high-ranking official working for Kyros the Overlord and we will be in charge of helping him to consolidate his power and dominion over the land by whatever means we deem necessary. That doesn’t mean that we must become ruthless bastards with a tendency to kill everyone we want to on a whim, even though it’s probably going to be possible to do that. The game world will react to your choices and adapt its narrative to your actions no matter what those are, so sometimes dialoguing and thinking about the possible reprecussions of our actions may be the most suitable things for our plans. This time you are definitely not going to be punished for whatever your decide, but the world is a place where morality is far more complex than deciding between black and white. If you want to experience this different approach to a fantasy world, Tyranny is scheudled for release November 10th on PC, Mac and Linux. It offers to quench the thirst for power of all those that are eager to join the dark side and, like in Dungeon Keeper 2, it will demonstrate that sometimes It’s Good to be Bad!

Far Cry Primal officially announced

Oct 6, 2017, 17:10 Fyra Frost

A few days ago rumors about a new game with the title of Far Cry Primal started, but Ubisoft never confirmed if it was a compilation pack of the old Far Cry series or something else. Today, after teasing pictures of a caveman painting on a rock wall for a few hours on their youtube channel, they have officially announced the release of a new action game, trailer included. Far Cry Primal – Official Reveal Trailer Quite surprinsingly Ubisoft seems to be reinventing the series and takes the action thousands of years back in time, going to the roots of humans fighting for survival during Stone Age. It’s a bit of a drastic change indeed: no guns, no rockets, no evil dictator to fight against… “Far Cry usually puts you at the edge of the known world, in a beautiful, lawless, and savage frontier. The Stone Age is, in a way, the very first frontier for humankind; it’s the time when humans put a stick in the ground and claimed land for their own, the time when we started climbing the food chain. That came with conflict, against other humans of course, but also against nature itself,” says Far Cry Primal creative director, Jean-Christophe Guyot. Players will play as Takkar, the last surviving member of a hunting group that arrives in an area called Oros with the only goal of survival. “They will meet a cast of memorable characters who will help them push back and tame the dangers of the wild. Players will journey as the first human to tame the wilderness and rise above extinction. Along the way, they will have to craft weapons and tools partly from the bones of slain beasts, hunt for food, master fire, fend off fierce predators and face off agains other tribes to conquer Oros,” Ubisoft explains. We don’t know if this kind of change in the franchise is what the fans were looking for, but Ubisoft Montreal seems to be quite confident about it’s possibilities. We hope that they are not wrong and that this new game will be at least as good as Far Cry 4. It’s been already confirmed that Far Cry Primal is scheudled for launch on 23 February 2016 for Playstation 4 and Xbox One, with a release for PC about a month later.
