Open Lab Games (Roller Drama, Football Drama) and their publisher Firesquid have just announced their collaboration at TactiCon for Becoming Saint: a tactical game of faith, penitence, and conquest, inspired by Italian history.
Becoming Saint is a small-scale, real-time tactics game placing you in the shoes of a young woman in the 14th century, determined to preach, inspire, and unite others under her cause. Will you advocate for pacifism, or lead your cult as a Machiavellian noble? Choose your tenets, select your units, and harness the religious fervor of your followers to convert and conquer as many city-states as possible, paving your way to Sainthood. There are many obstacles to success, but with perseverance you may Become a Saint during your lifetime!
“We’re so happy to reveal Becoming Saint, and that after all our research of the historical setting, studying medieval society and customs, we believe we’ve managed to shape it into a genuinely entertaining game”, said Pietro Polsinelli, Director of Open Lab Games. “With Becoming Saint, we’re aiming to tell an intriguing and accessible generative story, with challenging tactical battles, all rooted in a fascinating period of Italy’s history. We can’t wait to see what set of beliefs will allow you to become a Saint next year!”
