Action Trip has written a preview of the upcoming fantasy strategy game Etherlords. Here's a blurb from it:
Etherlords is, basically, a turn-based strategy, which is going to present players with a diversity of tactical options. The entire game is focused on magic and spell casting abilities you have to use against your enemy. Your units are lead by Heroes that play an important role in the game especially in the sense of combat; for it is their abilities and skills that will determine the outcome of the battle. Once the hero beats a few enemies, he receives an amount of experience, which will later improve both his health and his existing battle skills. There will be 64 heroes for you to lead and of 4 different races. These four races are: Chaots, Kinets, Vitals, and Synthets. The interesting thing here is that some of the races can form alliances with others, while some remain uncompromisingly devoted to their own ways and principles. Once you've picked yourself a race, you face many challenges, missions, and battle scenarios (about twenty, to be more specific). As for the objectives in the game, players will be faced with miscellaneous tasks that need to be completed. Objectives vary from obtaining a particular object and simply wiping out the opponents castles, to destroying a certain hostile unit. Still, your main purpose during the entire game is to protect your castle. The castle is where players get tasks and it also represents the player's power over the territory it is built on. |
