Slitherine dévoile aujourd’hui non pas un mais deux prochains add-ons pour son jeu de batailles spatiales emmenant en beauté les amiraux de l’espace dans l’univers sans pitié de Galactica. Sans pitié, oui, car quiconque a déjà essayé de négocier avec des robots sait que ces derniers manquent beaucoup d’humour, c’est évident, mais surtout de l’art de la maîtrise du non-dit qui caractérise si bien l’humanité. Spécialement en temps de guerre. Mais, après tout, à l’origine ces robots n’ont pas été inventés pour parlementer, sur ce point au moins on ne peut leur reprocher leur binarité les poussant obstinément à vouloir éradiquer, par erreur de jugement, leurs créateurs.
Passons sur ces considérations et revenons à nos Cylons. Suite à l’audacieuse offensive Ghost Fleet, les grille-pains ont donc perdu du terrain. Mais l’IA ennemie n’avait pas émit son dernier bit. En secret, elle préparait une super-arme pour nous annihiler. Devinez qui va encore devoir aller expliquer aux robots que, non, vraiment, ce n’est pas la quantité qui fait la qualité, fusse d’une explosion.
C’est ce que cette nouvelle campagne vous permettra de démontrer dans une course contre la montre au travers de huit missions, ultime affrontement devant mettre un terme à la Première Guerre Cylon. C’est à dire à la seconde saison d’extensions du jeu.
En parallèle, vous aurez aussi droit à un lot de nouveaux vaisseaux, trois pour chaque camp, et à une mise à jour gratuite elle allant ajouter un mode photo, améliorer le mode multijoueurs ou encore équilibrer les combats et les performances du jeu (voyez le détail dans le communiqué suivant).
