The Knights of Unity have announced that the company has acquired the publishing rights to Scythe: Digital Edition. The company will now see the game’s further development, introducing new features, and providing customer support to the highest level.
Thanking the former publisher, Asmodee Digital, Knights has reassured the community that the game is in good hands, as players do not have to worry about their accounts, as all progress and achievements will be saved. Knights is already planning for future updates with appropriate fixes to make the player experience even more enjoyable, while a roadmap will be revealed soon.
If you are unaware of the game, Scythe takes you to an alternate reality in 1920s Europa, a world ravaged by the First World War. You have to take the role of leader by assuming command of one of the five factions and set out to conquer the coveted “Factory”. Lead your mechs to war and your people to victory.
Scythe: Digital Edition Key Features:
- Asymmetry: every player starts the game with different resources (energy, coins, keen combat sense, popularity…), a different starting location and a secret objective. The starting positions are specifically set to contribute to the uniqueness of every faction and the asymmetrical nature of the game.
- Strategy: Scythe offers players almost complete control over their fate. The only elements of chance apart from each player’s individual secrete objective card are the Encounter cards, which players draw to interact with the citizens of newly explored lands. Combat is also handled by way of choice; no luck or chance is involved.
- Engine Building: Players can improve their construction abilities to become more efficient, build structures that improve their position on the map, enlist new recruits into their faction, activate mechs to dissuade opponents from invading and expand their borders to reap greater types and quantities of resources. This aspect creates a feeling of energy and progression over the course of the entire game. The order in which players get to develop their economy and technologies adds to the unique feel of every game, even when playing as the same faction several times.
