Stormrise: Real-Time Strategy From A Different Point Of View

By Mike Fahey on February 27, 2009 at 6:20 AM

A new trailer for The Creative Assembly’s new real-time strategy game Stormrise shows off a dynamic camera system worthy of a blockbuster action title.


While I enjoy the odd real-time strategy title, I’m not a huge fan of the overhead perspective so many games in the genre employ. I like to feel a little more immersed, personally. It’s why I loved the Kingdom Under Fire series on the Xbox 360, and why this new Stormrise trailer impresses the hell out of me. I’d like to think I was the type of general who stayed in the thick of things while his troops were battling mutant enemies in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Stormrise is due out next month from Sega for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

    I think it’s a great evolution how the genre has moved away from base management and placed a greater emphasis on unit placement and strategy.
