The hit strategy game Songs of Syx confronts you in a humorous way with the moral costs of your campaigns in the new story trailer “The Sacrifice of Bob.” The video follows a single farmer from his peaceful life to his inevitable death in a war that you, the player, have instigated.
But Songs of Syx has more to offer than just a new trailer: yesterday saw the release of the major update V70 “Riders of Doom.” The patch expands the huge battles, in which up to 30,000 units are simulated, to include long-awaited features such as cavalry and a completely revamped battle engine.
For those who have missed out on this complex building game so far: it combines the depth of Dwarf Fortress with the mass appeal of Total War and, with 95 percent positive Steam reviews, is considered an absolute crowd favorite. In the end, only the question from the trailer remains: how many loyal Bobs are you willing to sacrifice to rule the world?
