Indie Preview – Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire
Jul 8th
Hello, gorgeous!
Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire is a turn-based strategy PC adaptation of the popular miniature tabletop game Exodus Wars.

Unlike the games based on W40K though, Fractured Empire is not a mainstream real-time strategy game.
Straight from their indiegogo.com campaign page, developers Membraine Studios declare their intention that “Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire will be the computer game tabletop wargamers have always wanted but have never seen made because wargaming is seen as too niche a market.” Right on!
Contrary to the more mainstream direction Relic took with More >

The dichotomy centers around the design of the game in regards to it’s online functionality. Diablo 3 is both a single-player game and a quasi-MMO. Building on their first attempt with Starcraft 2, Blizzard have attempted to More >
