IGN had the opportunity here at this year's German Games Convention to talk with the Creative Director of BattleForge, Volker Wertich, about his upcoming project. An online-focused RTS game that mixes both traditional strategy elements with card collecting, BattleForge definitely surprised IGN with how addictive the formula is. Wertich was kind enough to walk them through a number of the game's basic principles and then showed them a few single-player scenarios as a demonstration.

Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
