The daaarkness

Chimera Entertainment has pulled back the veil on their fantasy strategy game, Songs of Silence. While Chimera is mostly known for its mobile games, such as Sacred Legends and Angry Birds Evolution, Songs of Silence will be a whole-fat PC game, and it?s looking rather interesting.
Songs of Silence will feature narrative-driven, single-player campaigns on randomly generated maps. It features a fantasy world ?torn between light and dark? and contains multiple sub-factions locked in an eternal war. There?s a mix of kingdom and hero management and real-time battles that sort of remind me of North and South. You don?t seem to take direct control of your forces in the midst of battle but instead play ?powerful combat cards from your heroes.? There are more than a hundred different units, hundreds of cards, and six-person online multi-player.

While I can understand skepticism when it comes to seeing a primarily mobile developer entering the PC strategy scene, Songs of Silence looks like a real passion project. Chimera Entertainment cites Ogre Battle, Kohan, and Warlords as inspiration for this endeavor. Personally, I enjoy the kingdom management of strategy games. Even with something like the Total War series, my favorite part is the conquest rather than the individual battles.
If you need more to sweeten the deal, Hitoshi Sakimoto is signed on as the composer. He was responsible for the Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkyria Chronicles soundtracks among so many others. If nothing else, it demonstrates an earnest effort to live up to the classics.
No release date has been announced, but it is currently available to wishlist on Steam.
