Confrontation is the latest Tactical RPG from Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive. Set to be released this April on the PC, the game is based on the fantasy miniature wargame originally created by Rackham.
The new title is being developed by Cyanide (Blood Bowl, Game of Thrones) in partnership with Focus Home Interactive. Players will enter the world of Aarklash, right before the ‘Age of Rag’narok’ and will command a battalion of elite Griffin Warriors. Gamers will command these units as they take on their enemies to defeat the Scorpion Armies threatening their home. Not only will you have to battle the army of the Scorpions, but many other fearsome creatures and foes as you make your way across the sprawling landscape. You will have to defeat such enemies as the, ‘creatures of the Alchemists of Dirz, the brutal Orcs of Bran-O-Kor, or the ferocious Wolfen pack’ to name a few.
Focus Home Interactive, who Game-Modo recently described as a dark horse in publishing, have just got involved in a new Humble Bundle. They’re offering eight quality games for you to buy in a bundle while letting you do your bit for charity.
I grabbed it. I was interested enough already to try out the Game of Thrones . . .game (though I hear it is less than great).
Already owned Divinity 2, though that game is fantastic in itself.
Cities, Game of Thrones and Testament of Sherlock Holmes was worth the $25 I spent either way. Some of the other games seem interesting enough and I will probably get to them in time.
I bought it just for div 2, great game. The rest will just be icing if they turn out to be good, haven't got around to playing any yet as i'm in the middle of another play through of Oblivion lol.
MyGaming's Jeremy Proome writes: "2012 has been a surprisingly good year in terms of game quality. While each year always has it’s big blockbusters that rack up the 90-and-above ratings, there always seems to be some yings to mix up those yangs."
"The main problem with Confrontation is that it's too basic, and does nothing to set itself apart in the genre, and combined with low production values, you have a recipe for mediocrity."
