It’s good, not great Ironclad, the folks behind critical darlingSins of a Solar Empire, have been hard at work on what they claim will be a reinvention of the MOBA as we know it. Last year I got a chance to take a look at a few early builds ofSins of a Dark Age, their upcoming free-to-play RPG/strategy fusion. I was really impressed with what the team had managed to get done even then, but this is the first time they’ve released video to the public....

Not-so-beginner-friendly, however, is the method of switching from Modern to Classic controls and back again, and it’s surprising how many people find themselves lost while trying to do so....

To put it bluntly, it was short, lazy, and sounded “cheap.” They’ve taken this feedback to heart, and are releasing asecond volumethat corrects all of these issues, much to my delight. Firstly, it features Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage,Actraiser) arranging “Rydia” fromFinal Fantasy IV(I could just stop there), a bunch of returning Square Enix composers including Junya Nakano doingDewprismand Kenichiro Fukui doing “Crono and Marle” fromChrono Trigger(a beautiful piano ballad rendition, I might add), and even a track from an upcoming, unannouncedManaproject....
