Twinworld Game Reviews

Author Archive

You’re alone in this world with only a small group of faithful soldiers who are still loyal to the old regime, the monarchy has been decimated by a ravenous Viking horde. You are the last thing that stands between them and the complete eradication of your bloodline. And those Vikings are on the way to finish the job.

This is Bad North, a minimalistic real-time tactics game with procedurally generated elements and a lot of depth. Waves of Vikings will crash onto your shores and try to pillage the last of your holdings, fight back utilizing different unit types, heroes, and upgrades in a game that is simple to pick up yet challenging for battle-hardened strategy vets.

Developed by Plausible Concept, founded by the incredibly talented duo of Oskar Stålberg (The Division) and Richard Meredith (Little Nightmares), alongside IGF award-winning sound designer Martin Kvale (GoNNER, Hidden Folks), look for Bad North in Summer 2018 on Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile.

EMERYVILLE, CA – March 20th, 2018 – Fantasy Strike, the upcoming fighting game from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix lead designer David Sirlin, will come to Nintendo Switch this summer, simultaneously launching alongside the previously-announced PC and PlayStation 4 versions.

“Fantasy Strike is the perfect fighting game for Switch,” said Sirlin. “The Switch is a take-anywhere console, so fighting games would be great on it if not for how notoriously difficult they are to control. Usually, playing a fighting game on a JoyCon would be tough, but Fantasy Strike is designed specifically for that. Detach the JoyCons, give one to a friend, and you can play a deep, strategic fighting game anywhere.”

Currently in Steam Early Access, Fantasy Strike has been rapidly deploying new features, modes, and increasing production values. In their most recent patch, Sirlin Games added professional voice acting and facial animation for all 10 characters as well as a brand new Team Battle mode. In a Team Battle, players choose 3 characters each and play a variety of different matchups, which is great as a tournament format as well as for casual play.

Sirlin Games has also boosted its networking technology over the last few months, combining GGPO (the best-in-class networking tech that allows there to be no input delay) with its own networking tech that now allows for smooth connections even across continents.

Fantasy Strike entered Steam Early Access in September of 2017. The game is currently available for $19.99 USD in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Norwegian, Hungarian, Turkish, Japanese, with additional language support planned for the final release.

To learn more about Fantasy Strike, visit the game’s Steam page.
