Gaming News - April 2005
Weston, CT (April 26, 2005) - Got Game and co-publisher Merscom
today announced that Laser Squad Nemesis has begun shipping to retail stores
across North America.
From Got Game:
Developed by Nick and Julian Gollop, the team behind the "X-Com" games, one
of the most enduring and popular PC game franchises, "Laser Squad Nemesis" is a
tactical warfare game which combines a unique and innovative turn-based combat
system with the action of real-time strategy games. A game of pure strategy that
leaves tired old RTS formulas behind, "Laser Squad Nemesis" gives gamers plenty
of control to develop ingenious tactics and clever strategies. To celebrate the
North American release, a major "Laser Squad Nemesis" tournament is in the
works, with details including dates, guidelines, and prizes announced in the
coming weeks. "Laser Squad Nemesis" retails for $19.99 (USD) and is rated T for
Teen by the ESRB for Blood and Violence.
In "Laser Squad Nemesis", players establish their respective forces and
strategies and then battle, against either a devious computer opponent or, via
email, against other players from around the world, until one army is defeated
or surrenders. Players can utilize the "test orders" function to fine-tune
strategies, as well as rewind, pause or review games using the "Laser Squad
Nemesis" video-style controls. With destructible terrain, players can change the
landscape with grenades, rockets, and other weapons and the map creator allows
players to create their own battlefields.
"Fans of turn-based strategy games know once you play, you’re hooked because the
set-up is easy and the gameplay addictive," said said Got Game Entertainment
President Howard Horowitz. "Not surprisingly, one word is consistently used by
critics and gamers alike to describe ’Laser Squad Nemesis’ and that word is
‘fun’."
This North American retail version of "Laser Squad Nemesis" includes 20+
missions in 4 single campaigns, a free 3 months subscription to additional
online campaigns and updates, as well as a detailed manual.
