What it is
Confrontation is a tactical role-playing game from Cyanide, set in the world of Aarklash. Its solo campaign follows a Griffin Elite Squad through missions in territory held by Scorpion creatures, Wolfen packs, and Bran-Ô-Kor Orcs. You recruit warriors with distinct characteristics, then earn experience after battles, level them up, and improve their weapons, armor, and spells. Unit and spell management matters, as does learning enemy behavior and exploiting weaknesses. Secondary missions accompany the campaign. The game also has multiplayer, where players command one of four factions in online combat. Confrontation was developed by Cyanide and published by Focus Home Interactive. It is listed for Microsoft Windows, and its Steam release is for Windows. The game adapts a board game and combines action, RPG, and strategy elements.
