Empires of Steel Preview

A quick note to point you towards a game that a friend of mine made. I'm not able to be unbiased about this one, since I've been following the development of this turn-based strategy war game for years. I'm very happy that Empires of Steel has shipped and I wanted to spread the word a bit. Congrats, Brit!

Empires of Steel is a turn-based wargame where you "form alliances, capture and trade resources, research new technologies, and form huge invasion fleets to conquer your opponents." The game can be played in single or multi-player modes with voice chat and can be extended by customizing your own maps, scenarios and rule sets using the extensive editor. It's really a lot of fun and has some great depth. Any strategy wargamer should give it a shot -- there's a demo available, so you have no excuses. There have been a slew of updates to the game through the slick update system, so it's been actively supported since launch.

Here's an Empires of Steel Preview at GameSquad that talked about the game back when its launch was announced.

I don't have much more to say at the moment, but I really wanted to pop down these links. Check it out and support your friendly neighborhood indie game developers like Atomicboy Software!! :)
