<h2>About the Game</h2>

<p>On June 6, 1944, the Western Allies started the biggest sea invasion in history. D-Day marks the start of a relentless campaign to liberate Northwest Europe from German occupation. Over the next few months, ancient fields, farms, and villages became the setting for a legendary battle.</p>

<p>The Troop is a game that depicts British and Canadian forces fighting the German Heer and SS in Normandy. Players control infantry, motorized, and armored units in intense turn-based battles against challenging and unpredictable AIs.</p>

<p>The game embraces the rich traditions of classic tabletop war gaming in an interactive digital format. Players have finer control over units' actions. Tanks can avoid showing weak areas on unpredictable routes. Concealed artillery can keep their locations hidden. And infantry won't run away when they are close to victory. Players can take their time and any missteps are solely their responsibility.</p>

<p><q>Development of The Troop has been a real labour of love for our small and passionate team, and we are excited to finally share the full game with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/new/strategy/" title="New Strategy PC Games">strategy</a> enthusiasts. Following our extensive early access period, we are delighted to reveal that the full release of The Troop will include a host of optional rule settings including overwatch and bocage shooting as well as the highly-requested Campaign mode featuring four campaigns.</q> - Tom Page, Studio Director, PLA Studios</p>

<h2>Game Features:</h2>

<ul>
<li>Story Mode: Get immersed in the campaign narrative, assuming the roles of various units from both the Commonwealth and German forces as history unfolds in Normandy.</li>

<li>Skirmish Mode: Customize scenarios, choose factions, build forces, and set enemy parameters. Every battle promises unpredictability and endless replayability.</li>

<li>Campaign Mode: The full release introduces three new campaigns: 21st Panzer Division, SS Panzer Division, and 31st Tank Brigade.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Troop will <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1363740/The_Troop/" title="The Troop Steam Page">release on PC via Steam</a> on October 10, 2023 for $39.99, £30.99, or €33.99.</p>

<p>PLA Studios has been designing, producing and developing games, systems and interfaces for a wide range of applications since 2011.
Giant Flame was assembled specifically to develop The Troop, which will be its first own IP project.  The team is driven by a deep passion for wargaming in both digital and physical formats and a lifelong love of military history.</p>

</div>

<p>The game takes place on a drifting spaceship in space. Players have to find and destroy the Gnosia, a dangerous enemy that masquerades as humans. To fight this threat, the crew will identify the most suspicious people and put them to "cold sleep" to eliminate the Gnosia.</p>

<p>Players can play as either a human or a Gnosia. The goal is to win the game by fulfilling the win or lose condition for the role. In the role of a human, the objective is to identify and vote to put all Gnosia into cold sleep. Conversely, as a Gnosia, the goal is to eliminate crew members every night until Gnosia outnumber humans.</p>

<p>GNOSIA unfolds through a series of "loops" that lasts around 15 minutes. At the start of each loop, players will be assigned roles, such as "Crew" or "Gnosia". Character interactions are shaped by factors such as their role, personalities, and trust levels. This results in unique quirks and principles that fuel captivating debates during each loop.</p>

<p>The game combines elements from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/rpg/" title="PS4 RPGs">role-playing</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/best/simulation/" title="Best Simulation Games on PC, consoles, and mobile">simulation</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/best/visual-novel/" title="Best Visual Novel Games on PC, consoles, and mobile">visual novel</a> genres. It carves a niche as a distinctive "roguelite visual novel." As players progress through the game, they will discover bits and pieces of information about the Gnosia and the mystery of the spaceship.</p>

<p>Players can also improve their character's parameters like charisma and logic. As the player's level increases, they can allocate points to these parameters. They become key players in discussions, exerting direct influence and swaying opinions.</p>

<p>GNOSIA ensures a unique journey for each player. Fellow crew members may become both allies and adversaries in a quest to unveil the narrative's secrets. The story is closely tied to the player's choices. It reveals drama and chemistry between characters. Betrayals and alliances are especially powerful for emotional highs and lows.</p>

<p>No two playthroughs of GNOSIA will be the same, thanks to the game's colorful characters and infinite possibilities.</p>

<p>Join the Battle of Survival in Space on PlayStation and Xbox this December 14, 2023. For more information about the game, check the official website: <a href="https://playism.com/en/">PLAYISM</a></p>
