Tomorrow War is based on a series of books written by Alexander Zorich (actually a non de plume of the Ukrainian writing team of Yana Botsman and Dmitry Gordevsky). In fact, Alexander Zorich will be writing most of the scenarios and nearly all of the dialogue. The Alexander Zorich books are incredibly popular in the former Soviet Union (and elsewhere). The "Tomorrow War" series ("The Tomorrow War", "With No Mercy", and "Moscow Time", appearing between 2003 and 2006) essentially comprise a "space opera". [Expect to see it on the SciFi Channel some day.] Because of the enormous interest in that series, 1C Corporation (as publisher) and Crioland (as developer) naturally looked into the possibility of creating a game based on the trilogy.
1C Corporation has been enthused enough about the project as to develop an entirely new game engine. The game has already released in Russia, with a follow-up entitled, The Tomorrow War: Factor K. So if the game does well when the English language translation hits your local store, expect to see the expansion set shortly thereafter.
SteamFirst: Feeling tired of all the space trading and colonization? Just want to cruise the galaxy at 20 kilometres per second, causing intergalactic mayhem and wreaking havoc throughout the universe? Look no further, because you found it. The Tomorrow War is based on the Russian best seller book trilogy: (Tomorrow War, With no Mercy, Moscow Time).
Bargain UK PC game publisher Extra Play announced today that hit is expanding its publication schedule for 2012 with new and rebooted titles in its £9.99 line of games.
Titles set to be launched this year include Falcon 4.0, 7.62, Ascension to the Throne, Death Track: Resurrection, El Matador and many more.
The space sim genre needs all of the love it can get - especially with the state of today's industry - so having to put the smack down on a game like this is pretty painful. You can tell the game is really trying hard to be something fantastic, and maybe for the Russian side of the market, that's how things have actually turned out. For Americans however, take the money you might spend on this game, and instead blow it on an awesome discount joystick (if you don't have one already) and copies of Freespace 2 and the Independence War series. You'll have a superior experience.
