Winterheart's Guild (computer game)
Winterheart's Guild is an Action-RPG in development by Zelian Games. The game is based on the power metal band Sonata Arctica who provide the player characters and the soundtrack for the game. According to Zelian Games, a demo will be ready by August and the game should be ready for release in the end of 2007.
Background
The game plays in the distant future, the world has been annihilated and has fallen into a nuclear winter. In the decimated population, several factions vie for power. The Free are a group of people who choose to live in peace and harmony, instead of joining the rising factions in their war. Winterheart's Guild was formed in an attempt to stop any faction from getting full control, and to lead the Free.
Pre-release Information
- It is confirmed the game will contain at least one new, unreleased Sonata Arctica song.
- The game's release date is not yet confirmed, but a playable demo will be shown at E3 2007.
Criticism
Some fans have been known to voice their objections, based on the following information, presently known about the game:
- Development by a (supposedly) inexperienced studio, which has not released any games in the past.
- Primitive graphics, which are thought to be inadequate for 2007.
- The fact that a screen goes red after a character is hit, as is visible on a video that can be found on an official site.
- Lack of any information regarding the planned Q4 2007 release as of Jan/10/2007.
