Here's a really neat preview (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=22555) of a smaller title being published by Strategy First, and actually it's already gone gold, expected to ship at the end of January.
COPS 2170 is a turn-based strategy/RPG that, according to WorthPlaying, " will surely have fans of games like Fallout or Jagged Alliance pleased with its similar gameplay." If that's not enough to get you excited, go back to your consoles. Here's some quotes from the preview:
Have you got an itch for a deep strategy game with lots to do? Developer MiST Land, with the help of Strategy First, hope to remedy that tingle with their latest attempt at a strategy title. COPS 2170: The Power of Law is a new title that will surely have fans of games like Fallout or Jagged Alliance pleased with its similar gameplay. There's a hefty dose of exploration to be had, and an interesting focus on teams and combat and even piloting vehicles.
As you progress through the game you’ll note the game’s open structure; Kati’s not just limited to one rigid path. Instead you’ll find yourself taking on a variety of missions, whether it’s taking out a big crime boss, suppressing a riot, apprehending a criminal and protecting a witness, or lending a defensive hand to the rest of the police academy. The path you accept as you progress through the game will ask you to make decisions that will affect future events, and sometimes the most insignificant, nonchalant action could blossom into drastic changes in the primary plot line. This compliments the "thinking-man's" gameplay quite nicely, offering a good reason for players to travel through the game more than once, experimenting with different missions.
Those who like strategy games have a lot to look forward to in COPS 2170. There’s a huge adventure here, with branching plot paths and a variety of characters to meet along the way while building up a nifty team that will thusly go into battle with you, and what battles they can be! The fighting is definitely the high point of this title and should put a smile on the face of any person with enough patience to enjoy turn-based gameplay. With decent graphics and sound backing things up, those who enjoy a solid tactical game should not let COPS 2170 slip under their radar.
I want!!! Cyber-punk setting, Fallout-style exploration, Jagged Alliance-style combat... they're going to have to do something major to screw this up. Looking forward to seeing if it works out.
