Making yourself heard is half the battle. Drumming up a storm from Saint Petersburg, russian indie developer Mr.Vladimir Konstantinov is heralding the coming of his tactical turn-based strategy game, Crasleen: Drums of War, to all who will listen.
The tale:
Dark times came for Crasleen – The Horde had risen from the graves of the dead and had besieged the once impregnable city walls. Defense of the city is weakening day by day, and only a miracle can save the people in it from total destruction...
Your voice:
The player assumes the role of the hero-leader. On the campaign the Player's army recruits various mercenaries and unique characters. By participating in the battles, all of the characters become more experienced and get stronger. Player hires new recruits, buys potions and distributes artifacts obtained in battles between fights.
In addition to these characteristics and abilities to fight enemies, there is to account the side where to deliver a blow, the type of vision and time of day. The interactive environment provides additional space for tactics: trees can be turned into allies - ents, burned or just cut down, barrels can block the way, and part of the river may be frozen into ice for moving to the other side...
Features:
• 2 campaigns with 30 missions each
• 4 races available, 50 character types
• Interactive environment
• Attack castles with scaling ladders and catapults
There is now a demo available (i.e.: at GamersHell here) sporting four missions and multiplayer via hot seat. The sounds of war so grow louder as conflagration is nigh - to happen, in fact, this very first quarter of the year.
