Returning from a successful Gamescom 2014 in Cologne, Germany, the award-winning indie studio Amplitude Studios has returned to reveal the seventh faction in its upcoming 4X fantasy title Endless Legend. Gamers are introduced to the ‘Drakken’ in the all-new reveal video, faction card, and screenshots showing this intriguing new faction inhabiting Auriga.
The ‘Drakken’ Background
An ancient and venerable race, the drakes and dragons of the Drakken prize lore, history, and wisdom above all things. Few in number but exceedingly powerful, they do not seek war but rather relationships, information, and knowledge. Faction histories, artifacts, and ruins are highly prized by the Drakken while wealth, military power, and advanced technology are viewed as insignificant.
Endless Legend is a turn-based 4X fantasy strategy game that takes place on the planet Auriga, a once-beautiful planet destroyed in a massive cataclysm. Players build their nations through 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. Gamers will encounter long harsh seasons, assimilate smaller factions into the mix to increase their chances in war, fight battles with a variety of powerful heroes, and create a robust economy using Dust (money), food, production, science, and more.
