🔫 Review: Star Traders: Frontiers "One of the deepest, most complex experiences I’ve had since AD&D 2nd edition" 🛸 @TreseBrothers @DarkBlueMonkey #GameDev #IndieGame

Star Traders: Frontiers 

Review By DarkBlueMonkey

Like many, I’ve recently found myself turning away from the high-price Triple-A games towards the indie scene for my fix of truly novel gaming. As a long-time fan of the space trading and 4X genre, I’m always on the lookout for really innovative takes on a traditional formula. 

If I’m to get into a game, it needs to have a certain amount of depth in which to immerse my imagination, and it has to be said that few studios do depth like the two-man team of Cory and Andrew Trese.

☆Game Of The Day "Heroes Of Steel"☆ @TreseBrothers #GamersUnite #RetroGaming

Let us rewind and tell you all the story behind the cool Video Game 

"Heroes Of Steel The RPG"

Background:

"Three years, two brothers, one KickStarter and a dream...."

The first fantasy world from Trese Brothers has arrived: a crowd-funded team building turn-based strategy RPG. 

In Heroes of Steel, you command a party of four heroes with a diverse set of backgrounds, skills, and abilities. 

You will make key choices as you strive to survive the plots of dark powers. 

Your adventure will follow the heroes through a sprawling story as you build each member of the team to your exact specifications.                          

History:

The World of Steel has been the vision of Andrew and Cory for the past three years. 

Originally conceived immediately after the release of the brilliant Star Traders RPG, the zygote of what would become Heroes of Steel has spent years in development. 

The catalyst that began then to turn the vision into a finished product was The KickStarter Campaign. 

A successful Kickstarter and three existing games enabled the duo behind Trese Brothers to commit full time to the project! 

The Brothers could now make their dream come true........a full time job making their own games together!!          

            

Heroes Of Steel Features:

• 4 Unique Characters
• A Complex & Branching Storyline
• Explore The Vast Underground World Of Steel
• Thousands of Weapons, Armour and Gear to discover
• 5 Rich Difficulty Levels

"Now It has finally come to pass that our great friends The Trese Brothers have released the game we previewed back in September, Heroes of Steel The RPG, it has been launched on the Android Markets and the iOS app stores."

Whenever The Wonderful Trese Brothers create a game they always create it with love and respect for their genre.

Immediately with Heroes Of Steel you can feel that this is definitely a labour of love for them as it oozes character and charm. 

We've found that with a lot of Android games, Character & Charm are really hard to come by, but Heroes Of Steel delivers this perfectly.

It's a game where you really can buy into the characters and their story line we just can't put the game down.

We love it because it takes us right back to our days of playing HeroQuest !

That for us is always a good thing as HeroQuest was second to none back in the day....

The game really does have a unique and strong storyline, and provides powerful tactics driven game-play that any classic RPG fan will enjoy.

The Trese Brothers love their marvellous video game creations and as three year indie developers, are super enthusiastic to launch a fifth game in the mobile markets and continue on their mission of making the best RPG titles for mobile!

We'd say that they are 99% of the way to achieving their goal with this wonderful title.

We'll continue battling our way through guards and dungeons until the next installment of the Trese Brothers Saga grips us!

We give Heroes Of Steel 4.5 ICE CUBES OUT OF 5

Meanwhile here's a short Bio on the Trese Brothers in their own words:

"Cory and Andrew are two brothers who have spent their lives together making games.  

We were always the first player in each other's games from a very early age, and started home-brewing systems before we knew what the term meant.  

We've spent countless hours creating of pen and paper games, stories and campaigns to share with our friends around the table.  

In mid-2010, Cory picked up an Android and started tinkering with a game idea he had in his favourite genre, space trading games.  

And so Star Traders was born.  

It was not long before we realized how powerful of a platform mobile gaming was to share our ideas, stories, and worlds with a larger audience.

Over the last three years, we have built four games and run one successful KickStarter to build our fifth [Heroes Of Steel]

We have updated these games hundreds of times with new content, story, characters, upgraded artwork, maps and sub-plots.  

We are extremely dedicated to our customers, listening to them, and making our games better with them.  

We love our games, and we play them every day.  

We believe we run a pretty unique business model and we love what we do with a major passion.  

We are very excited to have recently announced that we have transitioned to full time game development, both of us leaving full time software engineering positions.  So, its working!  

We hope you will join us by trying out one or more of our games and seeing them grow every week!"
