entry #7 : Anima Wars
Anima Wars is a game played on two levels. On one level it is a Turn-based Strategy game reminiscent to the board game Risk. It allows the player to take control of a horde of warriors in a battle to capture the enemy's stronghold. On another level it is a hack-and-slash game that allows the player to use champions to slay the enemy's grunts and/or go head-to-head with another champion. Anima Wars' Network Game uses a unique "ghosting system" that allows up to 4 players to cooperate, strategize, and fight another 4 players. This game is rendered in an Isometric 3d environment.
