Rendez-vous début juin pour Myriads – Renaissance

Avis aux curieux et aux amateurs de 4X originaux. Ce titre que l’on peut essayer en démo depuis le printemps l’an dernier et réalisé par le jeune studio français Sleeping Eight va s’arrimer à nos écrans à partir du 1er juin prochain. Voilà qui clôturera un parcours de a priori six années de développement pour ce jeu offrant une approche allégée et hybride entre un city-builder, un tower defense et un jeu de conquêtes / construction d’empire. Le tout avec un style graphique très soigné et une ambiance générale flottant entre Fantaisie et période de la Renaissance. L’ensemble promettant d’offrir des parties ne dépassant pas une grosse soirée de jeu.

Communiqué

Myriads launches on 1st June
We’re excited to announce that Myriads: Renaissance will launch on Steam on 1st June!

Myriads: Renaissance is a turn-based strategy game with city-building and 4X mechanics. Set in a fantasy world made up of thousands of floating islands, you must grow your capital and expand your kingdom. Resist waves of powerful corsairs and construct defence towers to survive their incursions.

What is Myriads?

A lite city-builder where you grow your capital and manage its resources.
A lite 4X including survival and tower defence mechanics.
An easy-to-learn but hard-to-master game with multiple game modes for additional challenges.

A run takes 5-6h to complete…

…but don’t expect to win on your first try! Play again!

What will you do in Myriads?

– Build: Extend your capital island by chaining shards of various biomes and manage its resources.
– Explore: Travel into a procedurally generated archipelago of floating islands.
– Rule: Establish and manage new colonies. Export resources to your Capital Island and trade goods for gold.
– Survive: Resist waves of powerful corsairs. Construct defence towers to survive their incursions.
– Conquer: Send out your galleons to destroy corsair strongholds and conquer new territories.
– Research: Unlock new technologies by exploring the world and gathering ancient secrets.

 

As a small 2 person team, our goal isn’t to make the next big 4X game. Instead, we took a different approach and focused. Myriads: Renaissance is our personal contribution to the genre, and if you like the idea of a small but challenging 4X game with city-builder and tower defence mechanics then Myriads: Renaissance is the game for you!

If you’re curious about the game there is a demo! It offers 60 turns of gameplay which represents about 1 hour of gameplay. It also includes a step by step tutorial so that you won’t get lost trying to understand our game. Give it a try!

Please don’t forget to wishlist the game, so you’ll be notified when we release the game!
