Tarr Chronicles Hits North America

cdv Software and our friends at Akella have announced that Tarr Chronicles is now sitting on North American retail shelves. Tarr Chronicles is an action-based space combat game set against the backdrop of a massive war between humanity and its alien enemies. Offering players the opportunity to customize their ships with a variety of technologies and weapons, and pairing players with allied A.I.

“Torn by years of strife and bloodshed, the universe lies dying, with humanity struggling to survive. Suddenly, hope shines again, as the Battlecruiser Talestra uncovers an ancient, forgotten city within which rests salvation for an entire solar system. Hostile alien forces have other plans for the artifacts found within the city, and begin their assault on the Talestra. Lost in space and deep behind enemy lines, the player must don an elite fighter pilot’s uniform and defend the galaxy’s last hope in Tarr Chronicles, a gripping arcade-style space combat simulation in development by Quasar Studio and Akella. At your disposal are dozens of detailed high-tech fighters bristling with cannons and rocket launchers, yours to fly against an unstoppable alien menace – the De’Khete. Intelligent squad mates with unique personalities will assist you in frenzied white-knuckle space battles between vast fleets of fighters and massive capital ships.
