The daaarkness

Chimera Leisure has pulled again the veil on their fantasy technique sport, Songs of Silence. Whereas Chimera is usually identified for its cellular video games, corresponding to Sacred Legends and Offended Birds Evolution, Songs of Silence might be a whole-fat PC sport, and it’s trying fairly fascinating.

Songs of Silence will function narrative-driven, single-player campaigns on randomly generated maps. It incorporates a fantasy world “torn between gentle and darkish” and accommodates a number of sub-factions locked in an everlasting warfare. There’s a mixture of kingdom and hero administration and real-time battles that kind of remind me of North and South. You don’t appear to take direct management of your forces within the midst of battle however as an alternative play “highly effective fight playing cards out of your heroes.” There are greater than 100 totally different items, a whole lot of playing cards, and six-person on-line multi-player.

Whereas I can perceive skepticism relating to seeing a primarily cellular developer coming into the PC technique scene, Songs of Silence appears to be like like an actual ardour undertaking. Chimera Leisure cites Ogre Battle, Kohan, and Warlords as inspiration for this endeavor. Personally, I benefit from the kingdom administration of technique video games. Even with one thing just like the Whole Battle sequence, my favourite half is the conquest fairly than the person battles.

In the event you want extra to sweeten the deal, Hitoshi Sakimoto is signed on because the composer. He was answerable for the Last Fantasy XII, Last Fantasy Techniques, Valkyria Chronicles soundtracks amongst so many others. If nothing else, it demonstrates an earnest effort to reside as much as the classics.

No launch date has been introduced, however it’s at the moment accessible to wishlist on Steam.
