About Republic: The Revolution
As I said earlier, I'm going to highlight a few games that I think are different or otherwise worthy of some more attention. We've had Syberia two days ago, and today I'm going to pick a few more. First one worthy of some attention, because it's just different, is Republic: The Revolution.
Set in Novistrana, a fictitious nation trying to survive in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union, Republic: The Revolution will challenge you to rise to power and lead the nation out of strife.
Okay... this is certainly new, but it goes on...
Elixir demonstrated a sequence where the player, in an effort to gain more prestige within the city, decided to make a martyr for his cause. The first order of business was to coerce a journalist into subservience--a bunch of armed thugs, trained up from a fight club, made the man join the cause. Next, a particularly spirited individual was selected to be the martyr--a young, zealous student. He was then ordered to stand in protest of Novistrana's military regime. We saw him standing in the way of a military tank on patrol. The tank kept pushing him forward, but then the man was ordered to stand his ground. He was crushed under the tank's treads--and the journalist would be available to report on the issue.
This is just one of the things that stand out. Before you jump to conclusions, you should read the entire article at gamespot. Or you can visit the official site.
