Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns ships, hitting store shelves nationwide in days…
Montreal, Quebec. March 15th, 2001 - Strategy First and Time Gate Studios are pleased to announce that Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns has shipped. "Strategy First is very pleased to see Kohan ship as planned," says Steven Milburn, Marketing Manager. "The previews we've had thus far have been very positive and we anticipate tremendous feedback from consumers once it hits store shelves in the next few days."
"We've been anxiously waiting for this moment for quite some time," says Adel Chaveleh. Managing Director of TimeGate Studios, Inc. "Get yourself ready for a serious strategy game!”
Praised as "potentially Game of the Year", this real-time fantasy strategy game is sure to appeal to a large market of gamers because of its unique blending of different game play styles. While adhering to some of the basics of traditional RTS style games, Kohan's distinctive economy model eliminates the need for micro management of resources, leaving the player with more time for strategic combat. Kohan will also appeal to the tactical wargamer with its company based combat system and use of military concepts such as formations, visual range, supply range and even morale. Not only will the more strategic and tactical players enjoy the game, but RPG gamers will also feel at home with the game's gripping storyline and role-playing elements, such as leaders and units gaining experience, leaders being carried over from one quest to another, and of course, the lush and visually stunning fantasy land of Khaldun, where dragons, spells and swords are common place.
Immersed into a fantasy setting, players take on the role of an immortal being known as the Kohan. The Kohan were once the ruling power of the world, but were wiped out in a series of massive cataclysms. They did not die an eternal death though, and have since been reborn and reawakened in a new world, unlike the one they once knew. They must come to grips with their past glory, their present hardship, and their future destiny. The player must try to solve the mystery of his race’s destruction and attempt to return the Kohan to their rightful glory.
Kohan will be distributed exclusively throughout North America by Infogrames at a suggested retail price of $39.99US. For more information about the game, log onto www.kohan.net or www.strategyfirst.com
