Field of Glory Now Available from Matrix Games
The addicting PC version of the popular tabletop system is
now available for purchase!
Matrix Games and Slitherine Strategies are thrilled to
announce that Field of Glory is now available for purchase at Matrix Games.
Based on Slitherine’s popular tabletop wargaming system by the
same name, Field of Glory now comes to the PC in a faithful adaptation of this
acclaimed miniatures wargame! Without the calculations and measurements required
for a tabletop game of Field of Glory, the PC version accurately represents
ancient combat where you make the important and fun decisions on the
battlefield.
Field of Glory has already just been reviewed by GameSquad,
which awarded it a 9/10 (Superb) rating and said: "Accurate; great unit
graphics; accessible mechanics; fine multi-play; versatile editor."
To mark the release of Field of Glory through Matrix Games,
there are also two new tutorial videos also available to give gamers a feel for
how intuitive and easy-to-use this great game system is. The videos cover
creating your own scenarios with the powerful scenario builder and setting up a
multiplayer game which shows off not only the great interface, but also the
number of scenarios available.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said
“Whether you’re moving miniatures around the kitchen table by hand or letting
your computer do all the hard work for you, Field of Glory is a solid system
that’s a ton of fun. Field of Glory translates very well to PC and the design
prowess of Slitherine really shines here as it take little time to learn to play
but there is a great depth of strategy to master. ”
Command mighty armies and claim victory on the Field of Glory!
March mighty legions across famous ancient battlegrounds from
Zama in North Africa to the battles of Boudicca’s revolt in Britain. Later
releases will expand to new periods and new areas of the ancient and medieval
world. Field of Glory sports an easy to use interface with a focus on having fun
