Napoleon Total War


Press Release

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (August 19th, 2009) – SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America, Inc. today announced Napoleon: Total War, the first in an all-new story driven branch of The Creative Assembly’s multi award winning Total War RTS franchise. Napoleon: Total War will keep the franchise’s genre-leading 3D battles on land and sea. The turn-based campaign is split into three different story-driven campaigns, telling the story of the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte through his most famous battles.

In Napoleon: Total War, aspiring generals have the chance to play as the legendary French general Napoleon Bonaparte or as one of his opposing factions. Battling through his three biggest military campaigns, the game will take you through Italy and Egypt, narrating the early years of the fearsome commander, while the third campaign will tell the story of his fateful drive towards Moscow and, ultimately, his showdown with the Duke of Wellington at one of the most famous battles of all – The Battle of Waterloo.

“In Napoleon: Total War you get to actually be Napoleon - to face the problems he faced, to win the battles he won, and to build the Empire he built. Or better,” commented Mike Simpson, Creative Director at The Creative Assembly and father of the Total War franchise. “However, the game allows you to step in the shoes of his opposing generals as well, allowing the player to rewrite history as they see fit.”

Napoleon: Total War expands on the successful Total War series by taking all the features from previous games such as the full 3D land and naval battles, the detailed campaign map, and an in depth diplomacy system and taking them a step further.

Napoleon: Total War hits shelves in February 2010.

Vandal Hearts Character Screenshots


Full List Of Characters And Description.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled character details from the upcoming tactical
role-playing game, Vandal Hearts: Flame of Judgment for Xbox LIVE® Arcade and the
PlayStation®Network. Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is the first next-generation installment
of the classic strategic RPG series featuring a swift RPG pace, improved user mechanics, and a
rich, character-driven storyline.

The game takes place on the continent of Sostegaria, where a war is waging between two
opposing kingdoms. Driven to defend his homeland, young orphan Tobias Martin recruits his
gang of friends to join him in the fight for peace. While avenging loved ones however, the crew
faces a threat that is deadlier and closer than they could ever imagine. Using character
customization options, players will experience the cast evolving and adapting to various styles of
gameplay as the battles carry on. Vandal Hearts has always been known for its strong and
memorable characters, and Flames of Judgment is no exception.

Tobias Martin
: Tobias is a war orphan, and a ward of the Church of Restoration. After losing his
parents, Tobias grew up on the streets, stealing and brawling to survive. When the Church offered
him an education, he jumped at the chance, leaving the street life behind. He isn’t sure of much in
life, but he thinks he knows right from wrong – a belief that will soon be put to the ultimate test.

Luce Valenci: Luce is a knight of the kingdom of Balastrade. Like many youth of her generation,
she grew up without her parents – in her case, trapped in a crooked orphanage. When she grew
old enough, she led her friends in an escape, and then followed her father’s footsteps in the army.
Now suffering a low point in her once-stellar military career, Luce tolerates no nonsense and
keeps few friends.

Altyria Jono
: Altyria is a farm girl from the other side of Balastrade’s border. Despite being
blessed with a loving family, Altyria grew up apart from her peers, finding solace in reading and
self-education. But when conflict brews, and Altyria’s loved ones are scattered, she finds herself
truly alone for the first time, and must learn new ways to survive.

Connor Ganson: Conor is a career criminal at age sixteen, an unrepentant street thief and con
artist. He grew up alongside Tobias Martin, and the two were inseparable friends for years. When
Tobias joined the church, Connor declined to follow him, and the two have rarely seen each other
since.

Calvin Atria
s: Calvin is Tobias Martin’s younger friend. Timid and awkward, he rarely leaves the
sanctuary of the church, at least not alone. With danger closing in, Calvin must choose whether to
stay sheltered within the church walls or risk his life to help defend them.

Gren Silas: Gren is Luce’s right-hand man. Known as “Ten-Men Gren” for his enormous strength,
Gren is virtually silent, answers to no one but Luce, and obeys her every command without
question. No one has ever seen his face – or, if they have, they haven’t lived to tell about it.

Daldren Gray
: Daldren is Balastrade’s greatest war hero, and one of the few surviving veterans
of the twenty-year war against the rival kingdom of Urdu. Respected across the land for his
legendary valor, Daldren still serves in the field to this day, stamping out threats to his land and its
people.

Kelbrun Hale: Kelbrun is the chief of an infamous bandit gang known as the “Fist of Enkidu.” A
dishonored war veteran, Kelbrun was stripped of his rank and banished after brutally sacking a
defenseless town. His raids and robberies have grown bolder in recent months, and his bandits
are better equipped and deadlier than ever. How he came to be so successful so quickly is not
yet known.

Shance Aya: Shance is the leader of the Hellhounds, a relentless cabal of infallible bounty
hunters. She is known, among those few who know her, for her murderous bloodlust and
delightful sense of humor.
