What could happen if one of history's fiercest battles did not end? The upcoming RTS title Grit and Valor - 1949 may shed some light.
Video game publisher Megabit has teamed up with Liverpool-based Milky Tea studio for the release of Grit and Valor - 1949. The dieselpunk, rogue-lite game is set to make its debut on PC, Switch, and new-gen consoles in 2025.
Set in an alternate universe, where the Axis Powers in World War II hadn't given up, it introduces players to a war unlike any other. The Axis countries had taken control of Europe, thanks to monstrous mechanized warriors.
For players interested in finding out what the game's premise would look like, they don't have to look further. Megabit has dropped two video assets for Grit and Valor - 1949 on June 10th. Showcased during the Guerilla Collective Showcase, the gameplay trailer provided a quick look into the struggle to defeat the 'Evil Axis' powers. Specifically, the towering Mechs that dominated Europe's landscape, replacing tanks and planes.
In Grit and Valor - 1949, players will lead a squad of mechs, the last hope for the resistance. Their mission is to deliver an EMP device and cripple the Axis war machine. The game contains four distinct regions.
According to its creators, each features unique gameplay mechanics, challenges, and procedurally-generated battlefields.
"(It) offers a unique combination of the real-time tactics and rogue-lite genres, mixing fast-paced action in bitesize levels with a deeper strategy and upgrade system to use between runs," they said.
In the meantime, Megabit also confirmed that a demo version for Grit and Valor - 1949 is coming soon. The game can be played on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
