14 DAY TRIAL // I laughed my lungs out reading this title: "Meet Steiger and make some new friends with an axe, a crossbow and a host of powerful spells." Make friends with an axe huh...? Why not try and make friends with a cannon across the castle's wall while you're at it...? Anyway, the press release today presents Steiger - one of the three main heroes of Stranger, an upcoming blend of RPG/RTS from both publisher and developer Fireglow Games. Seiger is to be selected by advanced players that like challenging gameplay.
"In his home world, Steiger was an educated spy. His last quest was to investigate the bizarre happenings in the City of Wizards. Therefore he knew how to survive in hostile surroundings and adapted very quickly to the world of Stranger, called Kront. Steiger is perhaps the most flexible of our heroes. His ability to powerfully wield an axe in melee helps him to get rid of monsters getting too close. But his skills in using a crossbow are unsurpassed and help him decimate enemies before they come close, including flying ones."
Aside his fighting ability, Steiger also has excellent vision and hearing, giving him the ability to "feel" hidden magic artifacts and machines that could help him on his journey, while others may pass unaware of his presence and activities.
However, Steiger's full power is only to be seen when he is leading a squad of units as his mastery in using the green spectrum of magic crystals allows him to heal wounded soldiers and even to resurrect some of the dead ones.
