Space Seige not Just Another Gas Powered RPG

Gas Powered Games is known for it’s titles like Dungeon Seige and Supreme Commander where plot and character development are an afterthought in these mechanized games played out on a large scale. GPG is ready to get personal with its new title Space Siege. The upcoming sci-fi action title promises to deliver a solid character and story with the addicting game play its known for. The studio has promised it won’t go overboard with too many words and verbose cut scenes. That’s a relief because although I appreciate a story, this is a dungeon hack in space… and if I wanted more of it I wouldn’t be playing this type of game.

Space Siege is the latest in the Gas Powered Siege series - this time instead of drab underground dungeons, players will take to space with a pet robot to fend off the typical invading space aliens. GPG has to evolve the game a bit, since Dungeon Siege and DS II were both very traditional 3D dungeon crawls while maintaining the addictive gameplay and item collection.

I spent a lot of time in the generic fantasy setting and I suspect I’ll do the same with the generic space setting. Though I’m worried they might make too many changes to the basic formula and thus move away from what I’ve come to think of as a “Siege” game.via Rock, Paper, Shotgun
