Been bugging me for a while, but I vaguely remember the Steam game trailer, just not the name of the game.

Here's what I do remember - but may be wrong in parts!

  • It's fairly new - maybe a year or two
  • Might even be in EA, but I don't think so
  • It's medieval themed (I think)
  • Hex board with turn based combat.
  • Biggest clue: The soldiers / knights / pikemen etc had disproportionately very large heads - in fact - it might be just the heads with weapons?
  • Nice 2D graphics - not pixel art, but crisp, colourful animated artwork.
  • The battles I remember seeing had a fair amount of units in play (perhaps 10-20)

Any ideas?

I think eldar4k is right, but For The King would be the next closest thing since its cel shaded 3D

Indeed, eldar4k is right, but that For The King looks good too - and bonus, it's already in my library. Will give it a shot whilst I await the next sale. Thanks :)

Since the thread worked like a charm I was hoping I could hijack it, 'cause I'm also looking for a game! This is what I remember:

  • I played it when I was pretty young so I'd say later half of the 90s/earky 2000s
  • It was a pc game
  • I think it was a point and click adventure
  • you were a member of this tribe who wore only a a red loincloth (at least that's how I remember it)
  • The plot was about someone stealing away the night and you had to find it back
  • there was a scene where you had the night with in you in a sack, but a cheetah ripped the sack and the night escaped

thanks!

Could it be one of the Jungle Book games? O_o
That's what comes first into mind. I'll need to take a closer look.

Edit. Huh, that's a plateformer and not a point & clicky. Also, it's probably older than the game you're looking for, it came out in 1994. Plus... I don't think there's anything about the Night being stolen. Sorry. False hope.

The story line sounds very unique - someone is bound to recognise it eventually - good luck!
