![]() ![]() There’s a huge crafting system too that allows you to create the tools and sustenance that you’ll need to survive out there. This helps to give the game a much grander feel than your run-of-the mill strategy title, adding elements of games like Civilization. In addition to beating up other townsfolk and stealing their supplies, you can also negotiate, with a number of diplomacy options available as well. The complexity makes for a bit of a steep learning curve, but it’s very satisfying when you get the hang of it. Distance affects your shots too, with different weapons having different ranges and thus better damage comes from being within optimal range. ![]() ![]() You can choose specific areas of the body to shoot at, such as aiming for the head for more damage, but this is a risk as the higher damage areas give a greater chance of missing. Having said that, the token Asian character’s cartoon-like language mangling is bordering on offensive at this point so I’d hope that will be changed up a bit before release.Ĭombat is a little bit on the complex side, with your turn and shot counters not always immediately obvious, and the pass turn button seems to be unlabeled at present. There are a few rather stereotypical sounding accents, but nothing that made me want to stop playing. The voice acting that is in place at the moment is very good too, with believable and realistic-sounding conversations. What we have so far though looks super polished, with stylish graphics and some good animation. Published by Microprose, Urban Strife is currently set for a 2022 release, with the demo on Steam giving a small portion of the final game. Along the way you’ll meet new friends and enemies, find various different pieces of debris from the formerly living world, and shoot a lot of zombies. The game sees you as one of the last survivors of a zombie apocalypse, and your mission is to survive and help the town of Urban flourish amongst this bleak backdrop. Urban Strife is nothing like that game at all, but it is a really solid strategy title, just a turn-based one rather than a shooty shooty helicopter one. I’ll be honest, I picked this game up because the name sounded like Urban Strike, the classic helicopter strategy game from EA. This array of tools is provided allow the GM to have as much, or as little detail as desired.// Previews // 10th Oct 2021 - 2 years ago // By Gary “Dominoid” Sheppard Urban Strife Preview There are also multiple options that are available to expand upon the gameplay for more detail or alternative mechanics. The simulation builds on the wargame, which builds on the narrative tool. This complementary game system is accomplished by having each layer of the game build upon previous layers. System agnostic, Strife can be used with any RPG or used as an alternative ruleset for any skirmish or wargame. Designed to be flexible in both scale and detail, Strife is made to simulate dungeon crawls, platoon battles in triple canopy jungle, campaigns between hundreds of thousands of troops lasting months and fleet actions over light seconds of space. No longer do PCs have to be content with a small corner of the battlefield when Strife allows PCs to master the entire war. Occupying the space between traditional roleplaying games and wargames, Strife allows your PCs to become the commanders of their troops and become responsible for every aspect of the war. Are your PCs running from cybernetic assassins in a blacked out urban warzone? Do you need to simulate boarding actions for piracy in the Age of Sail? Do you need a narrative combat system as background for competing organized crime families? Recreating the Battle of the Bulge? Fleet actions in off the Shoulder of Orion? All of these are battles for you to fight and win with Strife, the Roleplaying Wargame. Strife is what happens when your PCs are in over their head. ![]()
