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.
The focus of the game is strategy, both in combat and preparation. Developing your squad and recruiting other creatures to fight for your side, adds a new level of gameplay to the battles. Each unit will have to be managed, from individual skill levels and powers, to careful consideration of placement and environmental dangers on the battlefield.
The game also features a vast multiplayer component, players will choose a ‘faction’ (Griffin, Scorpion, Wolfen or Orc) and will have the opportunity to battle other players to level-up and unlock new units to add to your army.
You can watch the short ‘Teaser Trailer’ below to get a better sense of gameplay and design. Confrontation is scheduled to be released on PC, retail and online stores on April 5th.
