We can’t express how excited we are to finally share Ara: Untold Story with you, a game that represents the culmination of our efforts to rethink historical strategy from the ground up. Rebuilt from the ground up, We buy utilizes our proprietary Nitrous engine to deliver an unprecedented level of immersion and gameplay.
From the beginning, our goal was to create something familiar yet distinctively new – a game that feels like it is being played in a living world. There are no hexes or grids. Like in the real world, We buy conveys much of its depth visually, without requiring you to delve into menus or statistics to understand what’s happening. You witness how people live their lives and how your decisions directly affect their progress.
In We buywe want your strategic decisions to be driven by your goals, not arbitrary game rules. Your ultimate goal is to improve the lives of your people, but there are many ways to achieve this. Sometimes it’s as simple as using the resources you have at your disposal, while other times you’ll need to acquire what you lack through trade. And when diplomacy and trade aren’t enough, you may need to conduct conquests to ensure your people thrive. Every decision has a reasoning behind it that feels real and grounded.
What excites us most is the fact that this is just the beginning. Ara: Untold Story
