Five heroes fight to free a magical land in Ubisoft and Blue Byte’s newly announced Champions of Anteria, which is coming to Windows PC on August 30th.
The real time strategy genre has never really managed to make the jump to consoles, and with this game labelled as a tactical real time strategy game, it’s understandably focusing on computers. The levels see you fighting on a small scale, with three champions under your control from a selection of five, each of which has a different elemental power that can be more or less effective. The real time battles can be paused, to let you carefully consider your moves.
Meanwhile, you’re choosing which territories to free or defend on the overarching campaign map – which has stopped me from quibbling over whether or not this a strategy game – while you can also busy yourself with base management and training up your champions.
