If you've got a bent for medieval warfare, we have good news today. Booming Games has announced that Conqueror's Blade will be launching its first-ever PC closed beta test in the near future. The game was first revealed during this year's E3 and has been in development for over five years. The game brings medieval civilizations to bear along with "legendary weapons and fighting styles" all set in a massive, immersive game world with players in command of armies.
Here's the official PR:
Combining both heroic action combat with tactical troop maneuvers, Conqueror's Blade allows players to experience authentic medieval warfare via their computer as they command fearsome armies. Booming Games' proprietary engine, CHAOS, delivers a seamless experience, even with thousands of troops onscreen at once, as well as authentic effects, such as fire and explosions, and diverse weather events, including thunderstorms and sandstorms. Stunningly detailed graphics replicate the weapons, armor and equipment of actual medieval troops. The game requires strategic thinking and skillful use of resources, as players must deploy the best army for the battle at hand from a wide selection of both Eastern and Western Legions, powerful Generals, and thousands of weapons.
Battles are fought in a vast sandbox landscape several thousand kilometers wide, where players seek to conquer lands and reign over their own Kingdom. Mirroring our own world the terrain features high mountains, deep rivers and fierce deserts, and populated by a variety of nations and cultures. Players may acquire territory to build their own House and Kingdom and fight to defend them. With 5v5 and 15v15 battles available, the PvP warfare in Conqueror's Blade will challenge even the boldest warriors. Generals begin with 3 or 4 skills, so players learn gradually the best strategies for deploying their Legions, and which weapons to use for each battle, as some are designed for solo skirmishes while others shine in group warfare.
