The War Of The Worlds is coming back to us with a new take on the events with The War Of The Worlds: Siberia
We do always love a good twist on a fun classic, and now we have The War Of The Worlds: Siberia on the way to the PC to shake things up just a bit more for a wonderful classic bit of media. All in a new title on the way from 1CGS that will give us some action, some adventure, some intrigue, and some science fiction. As the new rather alludes to here, this is a different take on the classic War Of The Worlds worlds story that H.G. Wells offered up. Even if some of the gameplay and setting does make it feel as if it is not. An interesting way to go with this one and now we get to see how well this alternate take on it all will flow out there when the game is fully ready.
From the start, The War Of The Worlds: Siberia looks as if it is another action title set in a dart timeline for 1869 Siberia. Almost as if the humans were the true monsters again and we would need to make it out of the horrible situation that the country is in along with the darkness the Russian Empire was placing on the people. Only to have the rug pulled out a bit as, surprise, the Martians are attacking and adding in a whole different problem in the world out there. Given how The War Of The Worlds has been mostly an American point of view, this is a fun little take to go with. Although, I think they should have left the bigger twist for an in-game reveal. It would have been hell for marketing, but would have broken some minds out there when it happened.
