Tilted Mill Releases Hinterland - It's Time to Loot, Level and Build!
Company: Tilted Mill Entertainment
Date: 30 Sep 2008
September 30, 2008 – Tilted Mill Entertainment -- independent developers of strategy, simulation and role-playing games – today announced the release of Hinterland, a fantasy PC title with fast paced RPG combat and strategic town-building.
In Hinterland you lead a diverse cast of characters to establish a small haven in the wild backcountry of a fantasy kingdom, then carefully select certain individuals to leave their comfortable homes and join your party on expeditions of exploration and conquest in the surrounding lands. There you’ll encounter hostile enemies, and fight to secure much needed resources to expand your settlement - iron to make weapons, a mystic tome to entice a great mage to join you, or perhaps just magic oats! Success means fame, fortune and prosperity – failure means starvation and disgrace. Games can be as short as forty five minutes or as long as five or six hours, depending on your choice of difficulty, game length, map reveal, resource availability, presence of raiders, and other customizable options, as well as which of the fifteen character classes you choose to play, from Knight or Elf Ranger, to Architect or Entrepreneur.
“Hinterland is about sitting down for an hour or two, and having loads of fun playing a different kind of Strategy RPG game, and then doing it again in a totally different way… and again… and again - without not having to shell out a ton of money for that luxury,” said Chris Beatrice, president of Tilted Mill. “It’s a deliberate effort to get away from the mega blockbuster lens flair, screen shot extravaganza and instead focus on gameplay.”
“Sometimes we don’t have time or feel like sitting down for a four hour gaming session to conquer the world or cultivate our pond scum until it takes over the universe- we just want to sit down and have some fun!” said Jeff Fiske, co-designer of Hinterland. “The game has been referred to as ‘a casual game for core gamers’, and I wouldn’t argue with that characterization, though it really is a game for all kinds of gamers.”
Hinterland is available today on Steam (http://www.steampoweredgames.com/) for $19.99. For more information, please visit http://www.tiltedmill.com/hinterland/,
