Deadhold

Deadhold for PC is a Squad Based Action RTS developed by the co-creators of such games as Borderlands 2, Battlefield 2, Homefront, and Myth III. Their aim was for the Deadhold to become a modern version of the iconic Myth developed by Bungie back in 1998. As a result, players get at their disposal a game revolving around spectacular battles waged in a dark fantasy world. In the game, players do not have to develop his base or worry about the resources.

Mechanics

In the PC release of Deadhold, a player can become a leader of one of the available factions, such as the Norse Empire, goblins, and ice giants. The army one gets to command can comprise various units – e.g. warriors, rangers, sappers, and medics. Moreover, there are also special units like Lost, Mimic, Frost Giant, and Sneak. The key to success lies in the ability to use this army along with a set of warriors’ special abilities and the elements of the environment – fortifications, natural obstacles, forests, hills, etc. As one progresses through the story, he acquires experience points, which can be spent on new abilities and the so-called relics allowing one access to magical powers.

Developers made sure to implement several modes into their game, most of which is focused on the multiplayer experience (including both competitive and cooperative modes). Nonetheless, Deadhold for PC delivers also a single player mode, allowing one to familiarize himself with the gameplay mechanics.
