Emotional Soundtracks and Vibrant Visuals:

A perfect mixture of darkness, colors, and lights to highlight this odd and unique 2D world.

Melodic & Smooth Combat:

Although it is not necessary to fight, thanks to a large number of movements as wall-jumps, slides, dashes and unique weapons and runes, combats are smooth and satisfactory. Enjoyable by a wide variety of player skill.

Build Your Arsenal:

Create your way of moving and fighting. Craft hundreds of weapons & items using loot gathered from the environment and from slaying enemies like bows, swords, grappling hooks, essence weapons, boomerangs, spears, throwable weapons like bombs and much more!

Build Mode:

Customize your camp to your liking, grow plants from different biomes to create unique potions and equipment, or create homes for rescued NPCs

NPCs & Lore:

Unlock new explorers and the secrets behind this silent world. The more NPCs you save, the more knowledge you’ll acquire about the Himno’s mysterious history. Who designed you? What is your purpose to exist?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 16th, Warsaw, Poland.

Fight your way through Roman legions. Deploy your troops, plan their movements, use magic and items to give yourself an edge, and win. Sounds simple, right? Be sure, though, that those Roman soldiers won’t give up that easily. So, you’d better bring your A-game to the battlefield!

Gallic Wars: Battle Simulator is now available on the Microsoft Store (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/gallic-wars-battle-simulator/9n409fskb2lp?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) on Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X|S.

ABOUT THE GAME

Gallic Wars: Battle Simulator is a rogue-like tactical strategy game mixing crazy ragdoll physics with dynamic gameplay that offers a challenging approach to the genre. Graphically inspired by the iconic Asterix comic book series, the game will allow you to become a commander of battle-hardened Gauls. Though their hygiene is questionable, to say the least, their ferocity on the battlefield is what makes their enemies tremble with fear. Crush Roman units one by one using weapons, traps, catapults, and even magic spells. Unlock the power of mighty generals and gain a massive boost to your army’s influence. Remember, however, that the power of the Roman troops lies in their numbers. They might be weak and soft compared to your barbarians, but they are many, and they know how to use their swords.

GALLIC WARS: BATTLE SIMULATOR – MAIN FEATURES

• Experience a unique mix of a strategy game with rogue-like elements.
• Fight bloody battles presented in a graphic style inspired by the Asterix comic book series.
• Use magic spells, traps, catapults, various weapons, and generals’ special skills to save the Gauls from the Romans.
• See how the Roman troops fall apart just like in cartoons, thanks to the ragdoll physics.
• Find out if the game’s challenging difficulty level will meet your strategy skills.
