Foursaken Media is famous for mixing up genres in all kinds of entertaining ways, and the upcoming Noblemen 1896 seems to be another good example of that. And it looks like either this week or the next, you’ll be able to sign up in the game’s forum thread to test the game and offer your wisdom. If you haven’t read our earlier story on the game or haven’t visited the forum thread yet, Noblemen 1896 is a hybrid strategy and third-person shooter in an alternate, steampunk version of the late 19th century. The technology is a mix of early WWI and the US Civil War dressed in steampunk, so it should be great fun.
The game consists of two parts, the large scale strategy map and third-person cover based battles that will remind you of Gears of War. Foursaken Media has upgraded the engine used in its games, so expect better visuals than earlier games. There’s a lot more info about the game in our Upcoming Games thread, so I suggest you go check it out and keep an eye out for the beta sign ups.
