Ships Ahoy - Pike & Shot

Matrix Games now offers Pike & Shot, a new historical strategy game covering three major European conflicts, The Great Italian Wars, The Thirty Years' War, and The English Civil Wars. The game's official product section has more details as well as links to purchase the game, which carries a 10% launch discount for the coming week. For a look at the game, you can check out a live presentation recorded a couple of weeks ago on their Twitch channel. Here's word:

In the age of Pike and Shot, mighty struggles erupted across Europe for religious, political or dynastic causes. The greatest powers of that period were regularly involved in conflicts and struggles to increase their dominance over the continent. Some countries have also to deal with inner tensions and are torn apart between factions. War is in the air. But war has changed. Due to the development of new technologies, traditional medieval tactics have been substituted with a totally different approach to effectively utilise the new formations and weapons.

In these troubled times musketeers “gave fire” in a duel to the death, pikemen held stolidly against enemy assaults, and cavalry charged to glory or defeat. Players can march in the footsteps of the great leaders of The Thirty Years War, Italian Wars and the English Civil War and refight some of the greatest battles of the Renaissance. With its 30 full-sized historical battles, its random map and scenario generator, its easy-to-use PBEM++ multiplayer system and its gameplay simulating accurately the tactics of the period, Pike & Shot will thrill any history buff and fans of tactical challenges!
