What is Songs of Silence?
Songs of Silence is a lavishly presented cocktail of classic strategic campaign and modern, fast-paced battles, draped in the finery of Belle Epoque Art Nouveau aesthetics. Designed with the time-strapped gamer in mind, each of the maps on our core campaign can be finished in a single evening, with PvE Skirmish and PvP Multiplayer modes allowing for limitless replay value in this beautiful and unique setting.
Classic 4X Strategy
Lead powerful armies conscripted from a roster of over 100 units as you explore beautiful handmade singleplayer campaigns and custom multiplayer maps. Outwit your opponents by laying deadly ambushes in deep forest or march right up to their front gates and lay siege to their cities. Manage hard-won resources to rebuild a ravaged realm and defeat your rival kingdoms as you search for a new homeland.
Innovative battle system
Play intense, fast-paced battles as the armies of the realms clash in vicious combat. Set your formation and prepare to engage the enemy, using tactical orders, reinforcements, and divine interventions to turn the tide of conflict.
Three distinct, powerful factions
Each faction and hero has their own distinct play style, both on the strategic map and in battle. With over 100 units and hundreds of card effects: from celestial summons to burning down entire cities, your options are nearly limitless.
Beautiful, Art Nouveau inspired graphics
Fuelled by the work of Alphonse Mucha and other proponents of the Art Nouveau style, Songs of Silence bucks the 4X strategy trend of muddy maps and dour, anonymous units by bringing beautiful, colorful visuals to the genre – strategy doesn’t have to be ugly!
Cards of Fate
Songs of Silence offers a fresh take on cards. Instead of collecting and building a deck of cards which are dealt in hands, cards in Songs of Silence represent unique actions granted by heroes and locations. These are then played on the campaign map or during our real-time battles to influence outcome via troop orders, status effects or direct damage.
Legendary Music
The game’s atmospheric soundtrack is composed by Hitoshi Sakimoto, the famous artist behind all-time favorites such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 12, and Valkyria Chronicles.
