A first look at new gameplay was showcased as part of Slitherine Next Showcase streamed live on May 31. The gameplay showed a ragged force of Founders, hotly pursued by Legion machines, having encountered various other bands of human survivors. While the player has a choice to ally or not, joining forces with certain groups will reap specific benefits. In the mission highlighted, a steady stream of Legion convoys provides a juicy target for the resistance fighters to destroy.
In addition, successfully retrieving a downed pilot in the area gives critical air support in later missions, while the appearance of a new human group – the Integrators – means either additional soldiers to be folded into the Founders ranks or another foe to be battled. What’s more, with the mission’s success lies the possibility to re-establish radio contact with Founders’ command center – a newfound connection that might be less fortunate than the player thinks.
Slitherine also shared some live action ‘Reports from the Frontlines’ which can be viewed on Slitherine’s YouTube channel and linked below.
