DVG Pre-Orders for Global Domination, Kill Shot

Dan Verssen Games (DVG) is taking pre-orders for two new titles:  Global Domination and Kill Shot.

Global Domination is a “near-future global warfare game” set in the year 2021.  In this hypothetical future, environmental upheavals, resource depletion, escalating warfare, and world politics have taken the world past the point of no return.  Technological advancement has stopped and the world’s armed forces use whatever weapons they can find from bygone eras to wage their battles.  Each player represents one of six factions struggling for survival.  The game features deck-building strategies and board-game-like decision making.

Kill Shot is a counter-terrorism party game.  You can hunt a terrorist in 1 or 2 minutes and complete an entire game in less than 20 minutes.  It is a speed card game designed for excitement.  It will be going to the printer in the next few weeks regardless of pre-orders.

U-Boat Leader is on schedule to go to the printer in 3 weeks.

Printer proofs of Field Commander Napoleon have been received and production has started.

Modern Naval Battles and Expansion are also in production.

Paradox Releases “Dark Horizon” and “Mount & Blade”

Paradox Interactive, makers of Supreme Ruler 2020, list two new titles
on their web site: “Dark Horizon” and “Mount & Blade”.
 

Dark
Horizon is a science-fiction themed game in which “disaster
has taken its harsh grip and the universe is slowly dying. Systems
cease to exist and there seems to be no way of stopping the threat. But
a rumor is slowly spreading through the galaxy of a weapon against this
menace – ‘the Light Core’.  The space action game Dark Horizon
takes place in a breathtaking atmospheric universe with an epic
storyline about the fight for survival.”  The game allows for
detailed spaceship customization, including the ability to disassemble
unused parts of a ship.  There are 22 missions and “extensive
customization opportunities.”  It’s currently listed at $29.99
US or 29.99 Euros.

Mount
& Blade is an RPG set in a historic context.
 Paradox describes the game by saying “Calradia is a land at
war, a land offering great riches and even greater dangers to the
adventurers and mercenaries that flock to shed their blood on its soil.
With unerring courage and a strong sword, an unknown stranger can make
a name as a warrior and wield the power to depose kings and crown new
ones at a whim.”  This is a “free-form sandbox” style game
where players may go anywhere and do anything in a world with hundreds
of unique locations.  It features horseback combat, an
expansive array of weapons, an advanced sword-fighting system, and an
AI that’s said to be challenging both in combat and in the strategic
realm.  It’s currently listed at $29.99 US or 29.99 Euros.
