There's plenty of fight in you. But if you think that going headlong into a fight, all claws and little wits, will get you anywhere in Cyanide Studio's Aarklash: Legacy all you'll be doing later on is recounting your misadventures.
As much is evident in the latest update about the upcoming game:
Tactical combat is at the heart of Aarklash: Legacy's gameplay. Players have the ability to pause the game while planning the actions of each of their four units to defeat groups of organized enemy fighters already equipped with a variety of skills. Sturdy creatures will be in the way with surprises in store for every battle.
A good sense of positioning is the key to avoid the powerful spells of enemy magicians and giving health by mistake to an enemy unit who may stand on the trajectory of a healing spell. Players can also change the make up of their team by choosing from eight different fighters with various powers. Each has strengths and weaknesses, tasking players to synergize appropriately in order to succeed in each mission. For example, players can inflict a good deal of damage with Wendaroo, a healer, by using the reverse healing effects skill of Motcha, the Orc. When an ally falls, he must be aided quickly in order to avoid defeat. In Aarklash: Legacy, reflection and organization are the secret to victory!
A handful of screenshots has also been made available showing the game and it's UI for our perusal.
As for all the adventuring and confrontation, it has been portended that it shall begin in the third Quarter of the year.
