Publisher Iceberg Entertainment and developer Amplitude invite you to the world of Auriga. The beta for their turn-based strategy RPG Endless Legend is now up available on Steam Early Access.
Kidnapped, Psychological Horror Game Gets The Steam Greenlight
The game's alpha was released in April and since then, the good people at Amplitude have been tweaking and reworking the game to bring new content and adventures to Steam. The beta will include two new factions, the Arden Mages and the Roving Clans, as well as a brand new multiplayer mode, a new battle system, a new and enhanced diplomacy system and much, much more.
Not sure what exactly Endless Legend is? Well, it's set in the same universe as Amplitude's other title: Endless Space. "Players will build their nations with up to eight major factions and 16 minor factions through a single-player or multiplayer campaign using tactical, military, and political means on randomly generated, hexagonal worlds of varying altitudes with the ultimate goal of developing the most powerful civilization on the planet. With research capabilities of up to 100 technologies across four eras, gamers will encounter long harsh seasons as they struggle to achieve one of the up to eight potential victory scenarios."

Let's just say that this game is not messing around at all.
The two clans, both of which have their own units, strategies and storyline, join the previously announced clans, such as the Ice Wargs. "Traders, explorers, and adventurers, the Roving Clans are nomadic and mercantile. Traversing Auriga on their great beasts of burden, the Clans bring commerce and hard-headed negotiation to the far corners of the world. The arcane power of the sorcery-wielding Ardent Mages can only be obtained through pain and penance. Transcending their mortal bodies through acts of self-mortification, they are able to touch and manipulate the limitless powers of Dust (the game's currency system)"
Additionally, if you act now, the game's discount will go down to 10%. However, players who originally downloaded the Classic Pack, which features less extra content, will be able to upgrade to the Founders Pack as a way of saying thank you. This special offer lasts until the end of the beta, which at this time has no specific end date.
"The Beta update encapsulates several months of dedicated work expanding key gameplay components that provide sophistication and depth to the game," said Romain de Waubert, lead designer at Amplitude Studios. "The addition of two new factions provides players with new approaches and abilities through the game, and with improvements such as enhanced diplomacy and hireable privateers, gamers of all skill levels can now experience the depth, breadth, and complexity of our creation."
Players will also be able to hire Privateers, for hire mercenaries who do not have to reveal their allegiance to anybody.]
