\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

Paradox Interactive announced Red Frontier<\/a>, a new sci-fi RTS game under development by Swedish\u00a0Zeal Game Studio. Red Frontier unfolds on a sci-fi setting where humanity has settled most corners of \u00a0the Milky Way galaxy and “huge corporations fight over valuable resources using mercenary commanders and their combat droid armies”.<\/p>\n

Paradox presented the game as a “multiplayer real time strategy game, wrapped in the easy-to-pick-up and easy-to-play structure of a first person shooter” in thier website<\/a> and as a “multiplayer online real-time strategy arena game for PC” in their forums<\/a>. Paradox adds that there will not<\/em> be single player gameplay, only online multiplayer\u00a0where you’ll be able to come-and-go <\/em>as you like “you’ll be able to join an ongoing game and get into the fray ASAP. Also, if you feel like it, you can leave it when\u00a0ever you want without a penalty”. The game seems to contain some RPG elements also, judging by sentences like “there will be a progression system that allows the players to purchase special items and droids with in-game currency gained from playing matches.” and “each character will feature a number of abilities unique for their role”.<\/p>\n

Red Frontier seems like an interesting mix of your traditional RTS with some RPG elements, all in a sci-fi setting. In a way I find many similarities with Star Prospector<\/a>, where the latter is single-player only and Red Frontier is multiplayer only :) Red Frontier will be available for the PC and Mac, however there’s no firm release date set yet. Paradox announced a 2012 release. Perhaps it’s better this way.<\/p>\n
