So, what is Golem Crusades all about? From the website...
Golem Crusades is an arcade fantasy strategic shooter.
Under siege from the forces of evil with only a plasma bolt and a pocket of spells for defence, you must build and command a legion of crusading golems, to reclaim the battered land of Belorn.
Featuring:-
* Fast paced instant 360 shooting action.
* Strategic but accessible troop management.
* Frantic, close quarter battles.
* Full scene, all realtime, lighting engine.
* Interactive music system, reacts to ingame events.
Done!
Just bought it from Direct2Drive. I went to get it from the main page but the shop server was down.
Don't ask me why, but a champion Druid strutting around nonchalantly blasting things and making golems really appeals. :)
