The Mandate video game
28Perihelion Interactive has released the first gameplay trailer for its Tsarist space opera RPG The Mandate, which received its world debut at an exclusive presentation on the Game Stage at the MCM London Comic Con on Sunday 27 October.
The gameplay trailer begins with neutral starship Zukov issuing a distress signal after it is assaulted by pirates. This signal is intercepted by a player who is commanding battle squadron Azimov which is loyal to the Empress of The Mandate. The player engages the pirates giving them the chance to surrender and withdraw, but battle ensues. One rule, no quarter.
The packed presentation at MCM London Comic Con at ExCel London by Perihelion's James Condliffe (Character Artist) and Michael Douse (Community Manager) revealed the inspirations behind the ambitious sci-fi RPG, as well as highlighting combat elements, crew dynamics and how to design your ship and captain.
