Slitherine vient de dévoiler un nouveau 4X sur le vaste thème de l’Antiquité romaine, jeu dans lequel on pourra choisir parmi vingt factions avec lesquelles tenter de recréer, ou au contraire complètement changer, le cours de l’histoire. Le tout via un gameplay en théorie facile à maîtriser, mais qui ne négligera pas pour autant la profondeur des choix à effectuer.
Pour l’occasion voici une série de captures d’écrans ainsi qu’une première bande-annonce permettant d’apercevoir de nombreux aspects de la carte et de l’interface de ce 4X qui pourrait s’avérer une intéressante surprise.
Pour plus d’informations sur Aggressors: Ancient Rome, dont la sortie devrait avoir lieu durant le troisième trimestre de cette année, voyez l’ancien site officiel et surtout cette fiche chez l’éditeur.
