bloodsnow3Few games really appreciate that multiplayer gaming is more than just talking to your guild mates through a headset. Multiplayer gaming is about sharing laughs and strangling your friends, and every time that kind of multiplayer is included in a game, a blue shell gets its wings. Open worlds are also about more than size, building a character is about more than picking a class, and morality isn’t as simple as choosing good or evil. Children of War: Blood and Snow, and upcoming isometric RPG, observes all of these long-held gaming philosophies and more.

Blood and Snow was built from the ground up to support couch co-op, single player, and online functionality, so if you want to play with someone, you go right ahead and do that. While you play Blood and Snow, alone or with friends, you’ll be building a character in a classless skill system that allows you to build the character that you really want to play – or the character that keeps your team in balance. Morality is also kept from being boiled down to “good or evil” in a system that presents you with moral dilemmas of bad or worse, while your decisions help form the world around you in a massive game world that rivals the size of many current “massive” open-world RPGs.

If you’d like to support Children of War: Blood and Snow and experience the fun multiplayer, flexible skill system, and emotionally taxing decision making, you can support the game by donating to one of many reward tiers on Kickstarter. Blood and Snow is planned for a DRM-free release on PC, Mac, and Linux, but Steam is also being considered, so get involved and help shape the game while you still can!
