City of the Shroud.

City of the Shroud tactics game experiment starts on August 9

Abyssal Arts announced today that the first chapter of City of the Shroud, a tactics game that tries to buck the genre’s usual tropes — will launch for PC on August 9.

City of the Shroud combines real-time tactics gameplay with fighting game inputs. While most tactical games take influence from classic fantasy tropes, City of Shroud has Middle Eastern influences. The story mode is a single player experience, but the game will have an online player-vs.-player mode.
