Camel 101, the indie developers behind the space strategy game Gemini Wars<\/a>,\u00a0are currently on Kickstarter for their latest game project, Black Talons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Do you enjoy strategy videogames like\u00a0X-COM? The powerful machines from Mechwarrior? Sci-fi universes as we\u2019ve seen on\u00a0Stargate?\u00a0Black Talons\u00a0gives you a bit from all of these, mixed up with real time tactics veterans in mind.” –Camel 101<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, a mercenary company lead by you as its commander, hired by a star system’s republic for an invasion defense job, gets stranded in a planet surrounded by the hostile invading force. From there you need to fight your way through for survival by doing contract missions. A Battlecruiser serves as base of operations, which can be upgraded with better weapons and intervene in the battlefield. This seems to be the plot that forms the basis for the campaign.<\/p>\n

Then, you command different types of infantry units with specialized roles (Scout, Tactical, Assault, Support, Engineer and Sniper), with a skill tree per class. There’s also mechs, which can be equipped with\u00a0laser cannons,\u00a0chainguns\u00a0and\u00a0missile launchers.<\/p>\n
