Aiming to place itself in a unique spot in the market, Act of Aggression – the new RTS from Wargame creator Eugen Systems – pulls heavy inspiration from other RTS titles hailing from the nineties and noughties, the Golden Era of RTS. In a unique near-future techno-thriller setting and with three playable factions based on both fictional and real military forces, base-building, resources harvesting and combat unit production, Act of Aggression is a more accessible but no less explosive departure from the million plus selling Wargame series for Eugen Systems.

3 unique factions go head to head in all out war, taking inspiration from games like Command & Conquer: Generals and Starcraft. The 3 factions featured in the came consist of:

• The Cartel, stealthy operatives born out of private military contracts, with the latest prototypes. Fragile and expensive, but stealthy and powerful this secretive faction is difficult to master.
• The US Army, exhausted by endless fighting across the world, are a brute-force of veterans; they can skill up in specific roles and improve their veterancy, but use current generation technology.
• The Chimera, a UNO funded task-force designed to have a plan in mind for every situation. You can mould their units through upgrades into specific roles, or leave them as a jack-of-all-trades.

Across large, authentic maps, players will harvest resources, build bases strategically, defend them, and produce all kinds of units to match the wit of their opponent. Extend your base network with off-base refineries for harvesting resources, and protect supply networks ensuring a stable income of cash and minerals. You’ll even fight other players for occupied banks as a supplementary income, and capture soldiers ejected from tanks and planes or wounded on the battlefield to take as prisoners of war.

• Build, harvest, supply, and fight on huge and authentic maps
• Fight with real-life and real-prototype light vehicles, infantry, heavy vehicles, planes, and helicopters – with prototype stealth technology to boot!
• An authentic techno-thriller single player campaign full of political intrigue and immersive battles
• Upgrade each factions base to unlock more technology, and upgrade units to increase veterancy, better their skills, or totally change their abilities
• Defend your supply chains, but don’t worry about micromanagement – Act of Aggression is built with macro in mind
• Occupy on-map banks for a supplementary source of income, and take prisoners of war
• Develop super-weapons, and super-weapon defense systems

Act of Aggression is currently in development and expected in Spring of 2015. Learn more about the game at www.actofaggression-game.com

In Etherium, these three empires are locked in a ruthless struggle to control the etherium, a mysterious and precious resource found only on a handful of planets. Take the lead of one of the three factions, each with its individual characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, technologies and special skills such as climate control, espionage and precognition.

The solo campaign in Etherium is non-linear: you are free to decide how your conquests progress. Manage your resources, expand your colonies and extend your control of the map to assemble an army capable of crushing your opponents. Epic battles will ensue between formidable armies comprising numerous units: infantry, tanks, aircraft, and even gigantic colossi of war several dozens of meters high; real machines of destruction! You will also use scientific research to develop a tech tree enabling you to unlock new units and upgrades, access new structures to develop your colony and to use new special skills.

Etherium has a unique and dynamic weather system that has a direct impact on your strategy. Use a sandstorm to approach the enemy base unseen, or mount a rearguard attack by crossing a freezing river. Each of the 6 planets has diverse environments, and varied terrain that will force you to adapt your strategy: arid desert, icy worlds, island archipelagos…

Finally, Etherium will also test your strategic skills in online modes, where up to four players can compete simultaneously.

Etherium is currently in development and expected in early 2015. Learn more about the game at etherium-thegame.com

Today’s video from Cyanide Studio and Focus Home Interactive takes a behind-the-scenes look at the team responsible for developing Styx: Master of Shadows.

We learn how the developers created the mechanics to make of Styx: Master of Shadows a challenging game, back to the source of infiltration games. The playable character – a fragile but resourceful goblin – played a huge role in this task, as much as the level design, which is both open and highlights the vertical perspective, and prompts players to experiment to reach their objectives in very different ways. The sound design and the musics from Game Audio Factory will immerse the players as well as they will give gameplay hints/info.

Styx: Master of Shadows is scheduled for release on October 7th, 2014 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Learn more about the game at http://www.styx-thegame.com/

With just a few days left until the release of Focus Home Interactive’s Crimes & Punishments – Sherlock Holmes, a brand new launch trailer has been released that is sure to get fans of the detective pretty excited.

A lot of you are already reviewing Crimes & Punishments, and some of you are already sharing with us your enthusiasm. We are very proud to propose, next week, a game a little bit unique in today’s videogaming landscape, something different from current productions on consoles and PC.

In Crimes & Punishments, become Sherlock Holmes and use your impressive talents as a detective to solve six thrilling and varied cases: murders, missing persons, spectacular thefts and numerous investigations that sometimes lead you into the realms of the fantastic. The great freedom of action in Crimes & Punishments allows you to conduct your investigations in the manner you deem appropriate. Choose the leads you wish to pursue, interrogate your suspects and, from your deductions, name the guilty parties… and determine their fate wisely, as surprising consequences may arise where you least expect them.

Crimes & Punishments – Sherlock Holmes is scheduled for release on September 30th, 2014 for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

Having explored some of Holmes’ skills in previous gameplay videos of Crimes & Punishments – your new investigation game coming from September 30 on PS4®, PS3®, Xbox One®, Xbox 360® and PC – Frogwares and Focus Home Interactive today introduce the complexity of not the cases, but the characters of Crimes & Punishments. It is a trailer about empathy, blame, and punishment – not of the suspect, but of Sherlock himself, as he lives with the decisions made throughout the game.

Crimes & Punishments introduces moral changes to the Sherlock Holmes series. Not only are you charged with selecting the suspect who committed the crime, but also what to do with him, either handing him to the police or empathizing with his or her situation, setting them free after a dressing down in true Holmes style. Not only can you commit any of up to five suspects, but you can also commit two – then, your moral choice will follow, and their fate will be left in your hands, with all the responsibility on your conscience.

Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes is scheduled for release on September 30th, 2014 for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, and Playstation 4.
