Steam has the release of
Skyward Collapse, offering a 10% discount for the next week on this new
strategy game from Arcen Games. Word is this is a god game where you play as a
less-than omnipotent deity:
How do you balance -- and indeed encourage --
a war between factions without letting either side obliterate the other? How do
you rule over gods, creatures, and men who refuse to obey you? How do you build
a landscape of villages when bandits and mythology are conspiring to tear it
down? Skyward Collapse places you into the role of The Creator, and frees you to
tackle these problems your own way. Brought to you by the developer of the
modern strategy classic AI War: Fleet Command, Arcen's second full strategy
title is equally unique (but far easier to learn): a turn-based 4x strategic
god-game.
Your task is to build and populate the floating continent of Luminith. You
create -- but cannot control -- gods, creatures, and artifacts from both Greek
and Norse mythology. The power you wield with these is immense: Heimdall's horn
causes everyone outdoors to drop dead, for crying out loud. Your task is to keep
both factions alive and fighting until The Master calls you home -- but this is
harder than it sounds. Bandit Keeps pop up periodically, as do Woes such as
floods, serial killers, guild strikes, and vegetarian uprisings. Every game
plays out differently, and you'll need even the craziest of your powers in order
to survive what lies in store for you.
