New gameplay footage for Stormgate has been revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live, showing off the game's second playable faction in action. A real-time strategy game inspired by classic Blizzard RTS titles, Stormgate blends sci-fi with fantasy as it pits the technologically advanced armies of the Human Vanguard against the demonic hordes of the Infernal Host.What the Infernal Host lacks in high-tech weapons it makes up for with magical might, zone control that buffs units, and a kamikaze approach to battle that floods the battlefield with cannon-fodder troops. The armies of the Infernal Host can take advantage of Shroud, a field of magical energy produced by key Infernal structures, allowing for powerful Rituals to be cast and providing significant advantages to any Infernal units within its range of influence.Three of the units that can be sent into battle include the worker Imp, the Fiend, and the Brute. Imps are primarily tasked with gathering resources, but they can also set themselves ablaze to trigger a powerful Imp-losion. Brutes are two-headed ogres that can absorb a significant amount of damage, and when the time is right, sacrifice themselves by unleashing a pair of fast-striking Fiends.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
