Slitherine strats its stuff News

PC News by Tom Bramwell

19 May, 2006

UK-based developer Slitherine - them what made the Legion games - is working on a pair of new PC strategy games and is shopping around for a publisher.

Quietly shown off during E3 (actually, they may have been loudly shown off for all we know - everything's relative in the WHAT-WHAT-I-CAN'T-HEAR-YOU-WHAT of E3 volume controls), Arena: Warriors and Commander - Europe at War offer something for fantasists and World War II fans alike.

World War II fans - gah. Anyway, Commander - Europe at War's that one, obviously. It's a hex-based strategy game co-developed with Firepower Entertainment, featuring six scenarios taking in Barbarossa, D-Day and the Grand Campaign, five tech-branches offering some 50 inventions to research, and a platform of multiplay that allows for everything from Internet to email and even hot-seating.

Meanwhile, Slitherine's also hard at work on Arena: Warriors, which is a mixture of real-time strategy and role-playing set in a traditional fantasy setting. You know - good versus evil, epic 3D battles and lots of missions. The unit animations should be motion-captured, and you'll be able to customise their appearance as well as their equipment.

You can check out more details on both games over on Slitherine's games page.

Yeah for you Khab. I was really starting to feel sorry for Slitherine, no one seemed to care about their news.
