Epocylipse: The Afterfall
By Darklaharl
 

Making  a game is no easy task, and even after all the effort there are no promises of success. Take Epocylipse, for example. It is pretty hard to say if this game just started development or if it has been in development for a while. I can say one thing for sure, it looks like it will be an interesting story.

             

The game takes place in the year 2196, possibly. The people themselves are not quite sure because they have had no reason to keep track. Year 60 (or 60 years prior?) is the year the “tellers”  say things fell out of the sky and made the world the way it is; toxic and dangerous. I like this start to the story. I haven’t run into a post apocalypse game taking place after a meteor strike since Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin. 

This game seems to be taking shape into an MMORPG, but it’s too early to say since there is very little information out there. What I can tell you with certainty is that there are 6 playable factions and a pretty interesting world to explore filled with large bugs and a toxic landscape. The 6 factions are The Cartel which deals in being neutral and trade. The Patriots who want to rebuild the old world. The Confed who want everything done their way, Steppe Tribes who want to explore and tradition, The Texas Star which is basically Texas, The Freedom Fighters who sound just like the Patriots except they also believe in family, and The Desert Rats who basically only care about themselves and the world as it is now.

The title and leaked information about the game strikes my interest but only time will tell if this game will be any good. The MMO market is a tough one to get into; many MMO’s do not even make it past the development phase. I am  interested in seeing where this one goes though; you can be sure I will follow it.
