Akella has launched the official Metalheart: Replicants Rampage website, showcasing their upcoming cyberpunk tactical RPG. The site offers details about the game, story & engine, some new screenshots (also available in our gallery), some concept art, and more. Metalheart will be published by Akella in Russia in Spring 2004 (the publisher outside Russia will be announced later).
Metalheart: Replicants Rampage is a tactical role-playing game set in the devastated lanscapes of a strange planet lost among the stars. Lead your team to success using smart tactics, explore a huge isometric world, experience unique cybernetic body implants and tactical turn-based combat. The player controls a team of up to 6 members. A team can be formed during the journey from the following races: replicants, cyborgs, mutants and nomads. Each of the groups has special abilities, e.g. cyborgs are good in combat, mutants are healing experts, nomads are masters of camouflage. Allying with different groups changes the flow of the game: being hostile to nomads opens the way to getting friendly cyborgs or mutants to provide new quests. A lot also depends on the composition of the team; for instance, a pure cyborg team requires a different strategy than mutants or nomads. The usage of futuristic items and body implants influences the abilities of each character in an extraordinary way: roentgen eye extenders allow the character to look through obstacles,health converters initiate self healing of a character, teleport implants make a character jump from one place to another during combat. The variety is huge. Every character experiences a personal RPG-development during the game. On level up the player may increase some of the character values such as dexterity, strength, intelligence etc. The unique development of a character makes him specifically special in his skills. The individual development of each of your characters makes them predestined for usage of certain objects/implants or abilities. Up to 16 different aspects of your characters may be increased during the game, each of them has primarily influence on character battle skills or other vital aspects of their lives. The individual outfit of each character with add-ons (implants, gadgets) makes him unique and provides a lot of fun. Players will enjoy two types of the quests: there is one main story line along with self-generated quests, allowing characters to lead a 'normal' life in the gameworld, which is explored more and more throughout the story development.
