For a limited time, A Year Of Rain is available for 20% off the regular RRP and will be available at £17.19/ €19,99. Additionally, A Year Of Rain will be available in a 2-player pack on Steam at a 40% discount, again this is for a limited time.
Find out what A Year Of Rain is all about in the game’s new launch trailer:
A Year Of Rain’s story and multiplayer modes are built from the ground up with teams of two in mind, whether the second player is human or AI. At launch, early access features an expansive story campaign, fully playable in either single-player or two-player co-op. The classic 2v2 “Skirmish” mode is made to encourage competition – and teamwork – across the entire spectrum of skill levels. At the beginning of a match, both teammates choose between three different roles: Tank, Damage, and Support. Each comes with different bonuses for the respective armies and the overall team, allowing for a multitude of strategic combinations and synergies.
Set in a world of fantasy and danger, A Year Of Rain features three playable factions. The wealthy House Rupah is eager to stake its claim to uncharted lands in the name of civilization. The unliving Restless Regiment is a bloodthirsty army of warlords, soldiers, beasts and souls driven by mindless obedience and zealous devotion to their dark leader. And the Wild Banners are an amalgam of fierce survivalists, reclusive nomads, monstrous humanoids and more ready to fight for every scrap of their harsh domain.
Features:
- The ultimate Team RTS. Play together across all game modes
- Ambitious campaign, designed for co-op experience
- A 2v2 skirmish mode that is truly designed for team play
- Unique asymmetric 2v2 multiplayer mode “Against All Odds”: Two heroes face two entire armies! (To be added during Early Access)
- Three unique factions: House Rupah, the Wild Banners and the Restless Regiment
- A compelling, multi-layered story spanning all factions
- Elaborate, stylized art
- Powerful iconic heroes to lead your army
- Soundtrack by award-winning composer Neal Acree
