Eurogamer has conducted an interview with Reflexive's Ion Hardie as he talks about their upcoming alternate history RPG Lionheart. Here's a bit on the game's background from the article:
"While some elements in the game are technology driven, such as Leonardo DaVinci's creations, we have crafted Lionheart to be an RPG with a historical yet magical basis", Ion explained. "The driving force of change is a spillage of magic onto the Earth, and as such, much of the cultural and political change that was set to occur during the period known as the Renaissance has been severely altered. England is occupying much of northern France, and the Inquisition is strangling much of the continent with its fervid quest to eradicate all magic and magical beings." |
