Developer Mosaic Mask Studio has unveiled a new gameplay trailer for their game, Shields of Loyalty, that captures the vibes of the golden age of Turn-based strategy games. The game offers a lovingly crafted 2D dark fantasy world with hex-fields, a host of enemies, events, POIs, a huge variety of tactical choices, a massive world to explore, and a challenging difficulty level all refined by modern gameplay mechanics and quality of life improvements.
Armchair generals will feel directly at home with the old “one more round” nostalgia and high replay-value Shields of Loyalty offers.
Mosaic Mask Studio has recently updated Shields of Loyalty to version 0.8.1 on Steam, bringing it closer to its planned end of 2022 full release. Update 0.8.1 refines the earlier 0.8-patch that brought massive new content such as a brand new island, with 9 levels set in a landscape completely covered by snow and ice and added a host of new enemies, new events, POIs, and much more to the gameplay experience.
“Since we at Mosaic Mask Studio are a very small outfit with only 6 people working on Shields of Loyalty, I am very proud of the team for achieving this milestone, bringing us ever closer to release. It is a labor of love since we all love the turn-based classic and want to bring back the nostalgia to lovers of the genre, refined by modern gameplay mechanics and quality of life improvements”, comments Mosaic Mask Studio-founder and lead game designer Seçkin Ölmez.
