That old-time religion.
Back in June we caught the first glimpse of Rapture: World Conquest, a light RTS that gives Galcon-style games a little Civilization flavour. You play as a god that — in the finest tradition of persnickety old-timey desert deities — picks one tribe as its favourite to lead to blood-drenched victory over all of the rest of the world’s peoples, using your miraculous powers to aid the effort. Of course, the other civs have their own patron gods, and if there’s one thing thousands of years of human history has taught us, it’s that we can’t all just freaking play nice with each other.
I spent a few minutes with the press preview yesterday and it seems quite promising so far. Developers Tundra Games are using the indie dev’s cost-saving measure of employing public domain music, and the game got a real belly laugh out of me when it drolly busted out “Night on Bald Mountain“. I was expecting this game to be a premium title but I must warn you, this one has the unexpected whiff of free-to-play about it. Lots of plus sign buttons next to coin icons and that. Hrm.
Watch the new Rapture trailer after the jump.
