AMPLITUDE STUDIOS SHOWCASES THE THIRD FACTION VIDEO FROM ENDLESS LEGEND

The Aristocratic ‘Broken Lords’ Hold a Dark Secret; See New Gameplay Video, Screenshots, and Artwork

Haarlem, The Netherlands – April 3, 2014 – Returning from a triumphant Game Developers Conference 2014 in sunny San Francisco, Ca., the Amplitude Studios team is back in Paris, France to reveal the third faction in its upcoming 4X fantasy title Endless Legend. Gamers now have the chance to make their acquaintance with the ‘Broken Lords’ in the all-new reveal video, showing this intriguing new faction inhabiting Auriga.

The ‘Broken Lords’ reveal video is also available on the Iceberg YouTube Channel HERE: www.youtube.com/user/iceberginteractive

Who Are the Broken Lords?
Following the previous faction reveals of the Vaulters and the Wild Walkers, the Broken Lords are a faction of knights and town-builders; an aristocratic society that believes in honor, virtue, and justice. To succor the weak, to champion what is just, to root out evil wherever it may lurk – those are the ideals by which these noble warriors would live.

And yet, the Broken Lords are a crippled people that exist only as spirits wrapped in their great suits of Dust-enhanced armor. Other nations view them as monsters, for their race was fading when it discovered a deadly secret – that by consuming the life force of a sentient being they could extend their own life span. This rite of consumption is, obviously, a complete betrayal of their principles and their history. The greatest hope of the Broken Lords, therefore, is to develop magic that will break this curse and allow them to live without destroying others.

Though the question remains, and haunts their thoughts: Even if they did find a cure, would they want to give up this powerful gift? Their codes and morality insist ‘yes’, but in their hearts it is much less clear…

“Jagged Alliance: Flashback” Launches Closed Alpha for Kickstarter Backers and Unveils Q2 Release for Steam Early Access

Selected Kickstarter Backers Can Now Access the Closed Alpha, with Steam Early Access Rolling Out in Q2

Copenhagen, Denmark — April 3, 2014 — Danish developer Full Control announced today that Jagged Alliance: Flashback is now in Closed Alpha and can be accessed by eligible Kickstarter backers. Receiving over $350,000 in funding through crowd-sourcing platform Kickstarter, Jagged Alliance: Flashback has been in development since June 2013 and is due to launch in late 2014.

Additionally, Jagged Alliance: Flashback will launch in Q2 on Steam Early Access for everyone, making the game available to all who like cheesy one-liners and tactical turn-based combat. Developer Full Control seeks to collect early feedback from the community through Steam Early Access to enable all fans of the series to have an active part in the development process. Through the additional funding new features and content can be added to make the game that fans of the franchise have always imagined. In order to get access to the closed alpha, or more information, visit: http://www.jaggedallianceflashback.com/

“We are happy to announce that Jagged Alliance: Flashback is finally in Alpha, with Steam Early Access close on its heels”, said Thomas Lund, CEO of Full Control. “Fans of the franchise will be excited about the return of the beloved turn-based action of the original game, and we can’t wait to get feedback from our Kickstarter backers and the rest of the community when Early Access on Steam begins. So go ahead, talk to us! We want to make this game as great possible for the fans of the franchise, which is also why we have chosen to focus heavily on the modability of the game.”

Based in the late-1980’s on the fictional Caribbean Island of San Hermanos, “The Prince”, the elected president, uses his powerful military forces to stop a rebellious group who are attempting to overthrow him. “The Prince” does not play by the rules and the revolutionaries are powerless against his military forces. The rebel leader gets arrested, and the insurgent army dissolves. Once players arrive on San Hermanos to get the rebel leader out of prison, things take a turn for the worse.

Gameplay features a unique mix of deep turn-based tactics, role-playing and sector management. The Kickstarter campaign, and now the Steam Early Access release, gives fans the opportunity to determine the scope and scale of Jagged Alliance: Flashback by directly influencing the shape of the game and participating during its development.

History of the Jagged Alliance Franchise:

Jagged Alliance was first released in 1994 and is still counted as one the best turn-based strategy games of its time. After the release of the refined Jagged Alliance 2 in 1999 over time the series became a classic never forgotten by its fans. The franchise received a reboot in 2010 with Jagged Alliance – Back in Action, which received mixed reactions from the community and press after its departure from turn-based action gameplay. Full Control plan to reset the franchise with the launch of Jagged Alliance: Flashback through Kickstarter.

Over the years they have specialized in the genre of turn-based strategy games and have several productions in their portfolio, including the upcoming project, “Jagged Alliance: Flashback” and the recently released, “Space Hulk”, a turn-based videogame adaptation of the hugely popular Warhammer 40k boardgame.
