Daedalic is bringing to us its new title of A Year of Rain. It is a game for those who love those classic RTS game such as Warcraft 3. We can say that it is an unapologetically recreation of the RTS style that is currently back to the trend with Warcraft 3: Reforged of Blizzard coming out late this year.
A classic RTS
Daedalic has designed this game with the 2vs2 mode in mind ( you can also use AI partners in the match). On the other side, it also has 15-hours of campaign gameplay and multiple multiplayer modes.
The primary mode is basically a 4 corners map, four players split into 2 teams to build, create units, upgrade soldiers, gather resources, and fight.
In this game, there are three factions available. The first is the typical fantasy type; second is the zombies, third is the mythological misfits. In each faction, you could choose one from 3 heroes; each one will give you different perk in the game. One tank, one healer and the other is some type of mage.
Moreover, each faction will have their own heroes variety, who will spawn at the start of each map.
So finally, with this game, we could choose the class that goes well with our approach of player- partner. It provides the buffs that we needed for our play style or serves as a counterbalance for our hero. That offers lots of ways to conquer the enemies.
So following the trend of MOBAs, there are also NPC in the map as well, so we can try to defeat them to gain boosts.
There is an instruction system
I have played the game for around 20 minutes today, and I found myself quickly going back to my old Warcraft 3 groove. However, for new people to the genre, the on-screen instructions will help them initially before leaving them to the real battles.
Daedalic has set to release A Year Of Rain later this year for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
