Finished Games is preparing to wage the War of the Worlds on Kickstarter.
Described as a ‘narrative driven survival RPG’, The War of the Worlds 1897 is based on the seminal novel by H.G. Wells. It places humanity’s fight for survival at the centre of the gameplay, placing particular emphasis on the technological divide between the humans and their Martian antagonists.
The game promises ‘a unique gameplay experience [in which] players must navigate a world filled with the Martian peril.’ The game will focus on ‘strategic survival tactics, resource management, and immersive storytelling’, whilst also capturing the peril, challenges and adventures inherent in the war with the Martians.
Visit the pre-launch page on Kickstarter and click ‘Notify me on launch’ to be amongst the first to back this new project.
