Paradox Interactive is giving PC gamers an alternative look at a historical American conflict with Gettysburg: Armored Warfare, a free-to-play, online action game that brings futuristic weapons to an alternate reality of the Civil War. The hybrid Real-time- Strategy (RTS)/ First-Person shooter (FPS) game will offer 32 vs. 32 battles with multiple game modes as Union and Confederate troops fight to change the course of history.
"Following the botched launch of “Gettysburg: Armored Warfare” Danny Green attempted to pick up the pieces, patch the game, and follow up with a new title called “Killing Horizon”. Here we interview him on what exactly happened with the launch of Gettysburg as well as unmasking details about his new game."
MyGaming's Jeremy Proome writes: "2012 has been a surprisingly good year in terms of game quality. While each year always has it’s big blockbusters that rack up the 90-and-above ratings, there always seems to be some yings to mix up those yangs."
Future men have gone back in time to the Civil War in order to change history so that the South will win the war! That’s the premise of a new indie game from Radioactive Software. Falling into the category of “I wanted to like this game”, Gettysburg Armored Warfare has a terrific concept and some great moments, but this project by a one-man dev team doesn’t live up to the potential of its concept.
Sounds pretty interesting, actually. Hopefully it turns out well.
