Focus Home Interactive now offers
this trailer
demonstrating some "superweapons" in Act of Aggression, Eugen System's
RTS game that recently entered
beta testing. The accompanying description also notes they will be unveiling
the Cartel faction next week at Gamescom:
Where diplomacy fails, nuclear
war prevails in Act of Aggression’s dramatic new super-weapons trailer,
showcasing the intimidating nuclear arsenals of all the techno-thriller factions
in the new RTS from Eugen Systems, coming to PC on September 2!
Each of the three futuristic military factions not only holds an inventory of
unique and specialized military equipment and units, but also access to a
variety of end-game oriented super-weapons, featuring the latest in conventional
and prototypical boom.
Tactical super-weapons are a viable option for defensive players who wish to
exhaust the enemy’s economy while they stockpile tactical weaponry rounds for a
surprise strike, as well as players rich in the game’s primary resources to
finish off their opponent with a bang.
To defend yourself from your enemies’ tactical strikes, one anti-super weapon
unit is also available per faction.
The US dominate with the Peacekeeper missile silo holding the LGM-118, and
defend with the MIM-104 Patriot launcher, unlockable under DEFCON 1. The Omega
Blitzer is the weapon of choice for the Chimera, a multi-shot long-range
rail-gun with a wide spread. Uniquely, their defense is mobile under the name of
the Antey, a mobile anti-tactical weapon. As for the Cartel… we’ll be learning
more about them during Gamescom 2015 in only a few days!
No nuclear superpower would be complete without upgrades, so you’ll be able to
upgrade your anti-tactical facilities by increasing aspects such as damage,
range, and accuracy. For example, the Antey launcher tubes can be upgraded to
double the number of tubes for extra security.
You can dive right into the mushroom-cloud now and start playing by pre-ordering
Act of Aggression on Steam, where you’ll be treated to the US Army and Chimera
factions, including multiplayer, skirmishes, and comp-stomp prior to the game’s
September 2nd launch date. The Cartel will be revealed and unleashed during
Gamescom 2015!
