“With regard to the sound here all good news. The soundtrack is once again one of the strong fortresses of the game, the dubbing is good and audio effects as majestic as ever during the fighting”.

“Even the sound sector plays a superb job. The soundtrack is quite in line with the epic story during the events recounted, but the real value added are sound effects. The lapping of water against the hull breaks, the artillery shells that stifle the screams of soldiers and musket blasts have the ability to make the player feel truly present on the battlefield! “.

Launch Trailer

All music in this trailer is composed and written by Richard Beddow.

Total War is set in the eighteenth century, a turbulent period alive with global conflict, revolutionary fervour and technological advances.

With themes such as the Industrial Revolution, America’s struggle for independence, the struggle to control Eastern trade routes and the globalisation of war on land and sea, Empire: Total War is one of the richest and most dynamic PC RTS games of all time.

Immerse yourself in Norse mythology as Skarin, a fearsome Viking warrior fated to defend mankind and discover the secrets of his past. Viking: Battle For Asgard is the latest console title from the award-winning and critically acclaimed development studio, The Creative Assembly.

The task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind falls to Skarin a promising but deeply flawed young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favor with the Gods…

Skarin is an uncompromising force, a play-thing of the Gods rebelling against their selfish agenda in a whirlwind clash of flash and steel set against the back-drop of a rich Viking culture and mythology.

Percussive moment of impact combat, savage and brutal, Vikings combat is a range fuelled meat grinder directed by the player; fusing over-the-top dismemberment with disturbing realism by displaying the gore-soaked real nature of close combat in detail.

Transitions in real time from small scale skirmishes to mass battles, become on amongst many and turn the tide in favour of your kinsman.
