Kiwi Brothers Studio have released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming RTS, Liquidation – Echoes of the Past.

Liquidation – Echoes of the Past is an RTS with RPG elements set on the war-ravaged planet Veá. Players control a fledgling deity, tasked with ending the war between the planet’s four factions before Veá is completely destroyed. The new trailer is the first in a series designed to tease the game’s four factions, the first of which are the fanatical Twilight Crusade.

You can find the trailer below.

You can find the rundown (via Steam) below:

Liquidation is a tactical Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game set in a universe that mixes elements of both fantasy and science fiction, with support for both single-player and multiplayer modes.

The game takes place in the dying plane of Veá, which has been repeatedly ravaged and drained of its very life essence over the course of a massive war that has been going on for centuries. Now, with the doomed world drawing its last breath, you arise as a lesser deity tasked with restoring the balance in Veá and ending this war before it’s too late.

But which one of the four warring factions are you going to lend your favour to in this war’s decisive moments? Will you even follow your task, or will you be the instrument that brings about Veá’s fateful end?
