Final Liberation ?

[tyr]

This game reminds me heavily of the old classic Final Liberation, in which we would take command of the Imperial forces to take back a planet from the hands of the orks.
It had an absurd amount of units, as it was based on the epic40k system.

It is still my favorite Warhammer game to date. I know Armageddon is not a sequel, but please make it worthy of its ancestor.

Final Liberation is definitely the inspiration for this series of games. If you like that you'll love Armageddon! :)

Nice, I still have my original CD for this game. It was, er ahem,... "epic"! ;)

[von_krysiak]

hehehhe "EPIC" - I see what you did there ;-)

They basically figured out we are sick of WH40K games that are obviously rips off of other games.... so they just ripped off an older game?

Oh for shame, for shame!! Final Liberation was a digital version of warhammer 40k epic, Armageddon is more or less similary inspired by WH40k "epic", naturally there are going to be comparisons,.... imperial guard, space marines, space orks and titans,... turn based strategy on an Epic scale,.... but its a bit rich to turn around and claim they "ripped off" an older game.

The source material, scale and game mechanics were always going to be the same, thats unavoidable if you want a digital strategy game based on WH40K epic....

Come on, be reasonable.

But in modern Armageddon we dont have a cut scenes with real actors (((

Honestly, if they're going back to recreating the tabletop or at least a turn-based experience, I'm good with that. The Dawn of War games are nice and all, but I far prefer turn-based gameplay.

[Noodlesocks]

I would say it looks closer to rites of war than final liberation.

[Slitherine_Iain]

It is somewhere between Rites of War and Final Liberation. It is not exactly like either. The scale is closer to Rites of War but the gameplay is closer to Final Liberation in some aspects and Rites of War in others. Its a tough choice to say which is closer.

[Bolter]

honestly thought this was liberation at first sight - cant wait to try out this one. You guys have a skirmish mode?

[JDPUK]

I'm curious about skirmish mode as well, though I do think you can edit and create your own scenarios. Though skirmish is always my favorite mode as well - against the AI.

My body is ready...
I have my old dusted WH40k Final Liberation, that I've played lately, and the best I was able to run it on win 7. Hopefully you made good campaign for Orkz.
It's going to be glorious Waaaaaagh! *dakka dakka dakka*

I looooove Final Liberation, was playing it a couple weeks ago in prep for this. Can't wait! Looks awesome! No FMV ork puppets though :\

[Maler]

I never really played Final Liberation. Any chance of getting it running on windows 8.1?

[Takao]

Nope, no way no how. Unless you virtually put windows xp.
