In the near future, after the fall of Iraq, failing the Middle Eastern States are desperately trying to hold onto power amidst a growing jihadist rebellion. They turn to their most potent weapon: Private Military Companies, mercenaries that answer only to money. Based on the best-selling Amazon graphic novel, Black Powder Red Earth is an isometric tactical action game set in the urban sprawl of a Middle Eastern city, where everyone is armed and a potential killer. You command a group of highly-trained mercs aiming to take down the insurgents, but you are on their home turf now, and one false move can lead to a bloodbath you won’t walk away from.
Made after consultations with actual combat veterans, Black Powder Red Earth dispenses with researching tech trees, RPG elements, and base-building mini-games. Instead, you are thrust into the middle of the action and must apply good tactics in order to achieve victory. As a gritty look at urban warfare, Black Powder Red Earth exemplifies Ernest Hemingway’s observation that, in war, “you will die like a dog for no good reason.”
