Up until today I had no idea there was a miniature fantasy wargame calledConfrontation, but Cyanide (Blood Bowl,A Game of Thrones: Genesis,Of Orcs and Men) is working on a PC game based on it. I honestly have no idea what the gameplay is about, other than that you’re able to develop squads of soldiers and creatures in a role-playing game fashion and use them to fight tactical battles. There seems to be a story too, which hints at the tabletop game’s fourth edition — titledThe Age of Ragnarok— for existing fans of theConfrontation.
These screenshots have a bit of aNeverwinter NightsmeetsDungeon Siegevibe going on and a game like this could be pretty neat. We can always use some more RPG/tactical/strategy blends on the PC now thatDragon Ageis, well, you know, less like that. Cyanide appears to be a studio that sets highly ambitious goals for itself, perhaps too high at times, so I hope this one will work out a bit better than their recentA Game of Thronesgame. I’ll be keeping an eye on it just in case.
