Greetings, everyone!

Steam Next Fest is upon us! With so many titles to choose from this week, it’s easy to get lost. And that’s why Fulqrum Publishing is on hand, with a diverse selection of three demos among which we are certain you can find a new favourite! Will you to take a stand in the eternal conflict between Arcane Magic and Steampunk Revolution in New Arc Line, prove your political brilliance in a grand strategy that will take your legacy to the stars in Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond, or become a master of sword and magic in VED?

New Arc Line

Take a stand in the eternal conflict between Arcane Magic and Steampunk Revolution and tip the uneasy balance between sorcery, elves, dwarves and mysterious monsters on one side and steampunk gadgets, zeppelins, and tesla guns on the other in this single-player, party-based, story-rich RPG.

In the demo, you will be thrown right into the middle of a deadly epidemic of the Iron Plague - select from 2 classes and play as either a Voodoo Shaman or a Diesel Engineer of either the Human or Elven race, and investigate what's going on in the Leprosarium; a hospital specializing in treating patients in the Slums district suffering from the horrific disease. With several ways of completing the quest and moral decisions to make along the way, will you rise to the occasion?

Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond

Prove your political brilliance in a grand strategy like no other: pick any contemporary country, set up your government and navigate the pitfalls of domestic and international politics. A glorious destiny awaits - the domination of not just the Earth, but the whole Solar system!

The demo will allow you to govern either Germany or Mexico, and you will have 5 in-game years to show off your cunning leadership skills in the new, extreme Overdrive mode. At launch, any contemporary nation will be available for your ambitions, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everything in between, and you will be able to enjoy different campaign modes to boot!

VED

VED is a story-driven, hand-drawn RPG with a unique turn-based combat system and roguelite elements. Set in two different worlds, VED tells the story of Cyrus, a young hero who sets out on a quest to become a master of sword and magic, and save everything he knows from destruction.

The demo will let you sneak a peek at a very early part of the game's story - just enough to whet your appetite, but with no significant spoilers!

“Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force: you are about to embark upon the Great Crusade!”

Community members! Today we proudly announce the release of Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Liberation!
This DLC introduces the western front action in 1944, featuring the US faction, as well as German western front content.
A year and a half of working non- stop has resulted in our biggest DLC to date. We would like to thank everyone that supported us while we were developing this love baby, and now it’s time to release it!

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2447590/Call_to_Arms__Gates_of_Hell_Liberation/

We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from the content creators we asked to showcase Liberation; they confirm the Western Front with its Bocages and other unique features make for a different feel to gameplay altogether. This is not the Eastern Front!
It’s not like we’ve actually released the Kraken but after you’ve tried it, you’ll probably agree that this is something quite different. It ought to be; the sheer number of maps, assets and models make for a package that is indeed a whole new front. It’s larger than its base game was, when it was released in 2021!

HD Link
Yes, Liberation is our largest DLC package to date. This clearly shows, everywhere you look. Aside from all the editor assets and maps, we have a pretty long list of vehicles that come with Liberation. This would be obvious perhaps; the US army wasn’t short on variety!

HD Link
The Liberation DLC contains:

• 10 US single player missions, including 4 US skirmishes
  
• 6 German single player missions
  
• 150+ new US and German vehicles, cannon, ships, aircraft and tanks
  
• 50 new small arms
  
• 500+ new humanskins
  
• 20 new MP maps
  
• 25 new DCG (Conquest) maps
  
• 500+ new editor assets for the western European theater.

HD Link
Call to Arms - Gates of Hell is a fairly realistic game. The sheer amount of units, game mechanics and gimmicks of the game can sometimes appear daunting to new players. Experience tells us that if you’re switching in from another RTT/ RTS game, you run into the learning curve unexpectedly, and you might be kicking yourself after a while for not having watched our official tutorials on YouTube, or not having played the in- game tutorial missions. So that definitely comes recommended. Alternatively one can dive into the Game manual or our FanWiki[gatesofhell.fandom.com] to get to know more about Call to Arms - Gates of Hell as well. And for those that prefer asking the community, there’s always our Discord server[discord.com].

Some of the material will become available in the days after launch, and we will update the game for this in the coming week, or as soon as these items become available. These are the briefing videos for the German singleplayer campaign and some parts of localisation.

So without further ado, get “Liberation”, hit the beaches, and dive into the most immersive RTS depiction of the Western Front you have ever tried:

Commanders!

The time has come to lay your hands on Men of War II once again! The public Open Beta has just started and we are incredibly thrilled to show you what the game looks like now! If you have not done so yet, head to the Men of War II Steam page and request your access now.

If you were a part of the previous playtest, you will already have the game in your library, so you can jump into action immediately.

READ THE WHOLE ANNOUNCEMENT HERE

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1128860/Men_of_War_II/

Please, take note that the game is still not finished, so if you experience any kind of bugs or experience-downgrading events, please, don't hesitate to report them to us here on Steam or preferably on our Discord server[discord.gg], where the community is active the most! Potential teammates are waiting there for you as well!

Also don't forget to add Men of War II to your wishlists, so you don't miss any important updates about the game.

Thank you very much for being a part of our community! No more talk now though, let's play Men of War II!


The playtest ends on May 15.

Announced during the Future Games Show: Spring Showcase, the multiplayer tech test is the first time Men of War II is publicly playable and will run until Monday, March 27 (10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT / 5 pm UTC). The test features four multiplayer modes (of seven that will feature in the full game) and five varied maps, in addition to a set of nine single player tutorial missions that will take you from the basics through to advanced gameplay mechanics and systems.

Enlisting in the tech test is simple; you just need to head over to the Men of War II Steam store page where you will have the option to ‘Request Access’ for a Men of War II Playtest - doing so will grant instant access to "Men of War II Playtest" in your Steam Library.

Once installed, you can battle it out in 1v1 up to 5v5 matchups via custom lobbies or PvP matchmaking. A lobby allows full control over the game mode, map selection and team sizes, as well as private, password protected lobbies. Matchmaking however will automatically group players by their real-world location and ranking based on their past games, and set them up in Front Line mode.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/1128860/Men_of_War_II/

You will be able to choose from the 1st Infantry, 1st Tank or 1st Artillery battalion from the Soviet, German and U.S. armies, allowing you to try out over 80 units from the full game’s total roster of over 300. Each battalion features its own gameplay style and unique strategic opportunities resulting in a deeply rewarding experience that is easy to pick up, but difficult to master. Furthermore, the full game will feature individual battalion customisation and additional unit unlocks via in-game progression, expanding the level of control players have on the battlefield.

The tech test includes only a small sample of the content Men of War II will feature on release, but already proves the depth and variety of gameplay and dedication to historical accuracy that will make it the most immersive depiction of World War II battles in franchise history. It will feature 22 multiplayer maps when it launches later this year.

The four multiplayer modes available during the tech test are as follows:

Combat - a classic Men of War mode featuring an all-out brawl between two teams. Victory goes to the team that can destroy the most enemy units, while keeping their own most valuable units alive. (Available on the Borovaya River and The Winter March maps).

Assault Zones - opposing players go head-to-head to earn victory points by capturing and holding strategic points on the map. (Available on the Bazerville and Borovaya River maps).

Front Line - a brand new, strategic mode, that sees teams using infantry to push their Front Line into enemy territory resulting in a tense tug-of-war style match-up in which teamwork is paramount. (Available on all five maps).

Incursion - an asymmetric game mode utilising the Front Line mechanic, in which one team needs to capture a number of highlighted zones held by the opposing team. (Only available on The Coast map).

The following five maps in the tech test:

Bazerville - a map with very little elevation, easy to navigate, open terrain, only sporadically peppered with lone buildings. Ideal for long-range fighting or exploiting weaknesses with fast-moving units.

Borovaya River - a very rugged map, featuring many hills and valleys in its terrain. The map is split in half by a large river, giving players many tactical options to try out and experiment with.

Farmland - a complex map that at first glance seems deceptively simple due to its flat terrain with no elevation to speak of. This rural environment features many farmsteads and even greenhouse buildings, as well as deep ponds with narrow crossings, creating natural chokepoints for heavy vehicles.

The Coast - while there is no naval combat present in Men of War II, in this map the sea plays a role, as it takes a significant part of the map, leaving a narrow strip of flat, level land to fight over.

The Winter March - set in harsh winter conditions, this map combines rolling countryside terrain features with many village buildings showcasing the destructible environment elements of Men of War II and forcing players to utilise smart positioning to get a clear line of fire on their enemies.

Men of War II will be available for PC in 2023.
