AgeofGames have announced the rerelease of their retro inspired strategy title, Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars. It is set to launch later this year for PC (via Steam).
The game originally launched back in 2013, but designed to play like strategy games back in 1993, as the developers put it.
“Fantasy Kommander Eukarion Wars offers a truly immersive experience, blending challenging and well thought out strategy with a captivating storyline developed from decades of medieval studies and creative expeditions,” says Fabio Belsanti, CEO of AgeofGames. “Players can expect a combination of tactical depth, engaging battles, and a rich fantasy narrative that will keep them hooked from start to finish, all with a 90s retro feel that puts graphics second to story, mechanics and plans of world domination!”
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars invites you to embark on a strategic journey through a medieval-inspired isometric realm of fantasy, with 90s-style pre-rendered graphics set to bring you back in time, for an authentic retro, digital-board-game experience. With tons of factions, from humans to elves, dwarves and goblins, get all the traditional fantasy worldbuilding, and do battle like it’s 1993!
Set on a hex map filled with diverse terrains, this operational-level strategy game presents a high-quality window into games of the past, with dozens of pages filled with strategy, unit strengths and weaknesses, rules and regulations, enhanced with engaging character voice overs, and highly competent AI opponents.
Forge Your Path to Victory and Unleash your Tactical Brilliance
Engage in four campaigns, each consisting of multiple battles with primary and secondary objectives of escalating difficulty. As you progress, you’ll unlock victory levels determined by completing objectives within time limits. Achieving higher levels rewards you with gold, fame points, and various benefits such as unit upgrades, resurrection of fallen troops, new powers, and expanded recruitment options. Visit the encampment after battles to level up your army.
Lead your troops strategically by deploying them before each battle, considering facing and movement options. Engage in melee and ranged combat, utilizing spells and missile weapons to gain an edge. With 32 special abilities, 32 spells, and six different races, the tactical possibilities are vast.
Join the Battle for Adamantia:
From combat tables to unit health and morale, every tactical factor is carefully considered. Deploy units bound together in armies of 100, meet unique entities and lead the way in combat where heroes and dragons take centre stage. Units in Fantasy Kommander: Eukarion Wars function just like RPG characters, possessing distinct characteristics and special abilities that can be enhanced as they gain experience.
The game unfolds through single-player campaigns intertwined with an engaging plot taking you into an immense world spanning miles, biomes and epochs. As a young general thrust into a devastating war, you receive messages from Emperor Karl and the Great Council of Mages, revealing the ultimate objective of ‘the Abyss’, your enemy. It’s up to you now to take the reins, build an army and rid the world of evil.
Remember that you can only move one unit at a time, and combat follows a strictly symmetrical turn-based approach. Adapt to these constraints and overcome the challenges that lie ahead.
