Set in the aftermath of the Worldwound, this title is a computer adaptation of the SGS engine of the Compass Games tabletop fantasy board game Burning Banners: Rage of the Witch Queen.

Wield Interactive’s first foray into the ancient world with The Fertile Crescent went so well that a new entry is now out in Steam’s Early Access.

The known world is falling apart, and it’s up to the player to lead a small group of survivors across these turbulent times. The game features:

  • Narrative RTS campaign set during the Bronze Age Collapse;
  • 4 Playable factions: Assyrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, and the Hittites;
  • Skirmish mode and Multiplayer;
  • Gameplay focused on survival with base-building and resource management taking center stage;
  • Food is your main resource, influencing every other aspect of gameplay.

The game is already available, and it’s currently on sale for a 10% launch discount, costing $16.19 or your regional equivalent.
