At first I wrote a more post-apocalyptic back-to-the-roots universe, but then we wanted it to feel more medieval while still being our own universe, so we got back to rewrite the medieval times including the old Roman Empire, the Plague, Christianism, etc. but by giving each of these topics a twist that makes it different from the history as we know it."

I really enjoyed the steam demo of this and I was disappointed when the demo was over. I hope they add more to the character progression and change how the crafting system makes a character forget all progress in a craft to change a craft.

OMG! A mercenaries game and its turn based! Woohoooo! I immediately clicked on the Steam Demo link and began to download. To make sure I don't lose this game I also bookmarked it.
While the demo was downloading I checked out this gameplay video

, which caused me to like this game less and less and LESSSSSSSSS, when finally I went over to the Steam client, stopped the demo download and uninstalled the game.

Actually its good such games are coming out. They show how much room we have advertising our own game.

I tried the demo briefly today and thought it was ok. It's a little on the simplistic side, but it's still only in Alpha.
