Conflicks: Revolutionary Space Battles is the new game from Artifice Studio, the team behind Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves.
Described as ”a hybrid between a classic RTS and a physic-based game”, Conflicks will feature four retro-futuristic factions (think late-medieval European countries with access to laser guns and space galleons) battling it out in space. Plus revolutionary chickens.
”For almost a year now, we’ve worked on the development of this new, extremely impassioning and unique project,” writes the team on the game’s official website. “Basically, it’s a space-themed real time strategy game in which players move their ships around the map by “flicking” them. Hard to visualize? Imagine a hybrid between a classic RTS and a physic-based game…”
“Our intention is to combine the chaos produced by the laws of physics governing the movement of many ships at once to the depth of a good RTS in order to create an accessible game experience that can also turn into something quite challenging for more involved players.”
Conflicks: Revolutionary Space Battles is expected to release this Fall on Windows, Mac OSx and Linux platforms.
