Take a peek at the world of Bannermen in a new video, open beta announced for next week

Today, 2tainment released a new trailer for its strategy game Bannermen, and also announced a new open beta on Steam starting February 8 through 10. The video features core mechanics of the game, and will also harken back to the nostalgic days of classic RTS titles.

In Bannermen, which 2tainment will release on February 21, players command armies in grand battles — using conventional medieval weapons and unique nature magic that will not only devastate the opposition but change the world around them. Bannermen combines classic RTS elements such as base-building and resource management, with unique environmental magic. These special spells allow players to summon lightning strikes, tornadoes, volcano outbursts, and more deadly nature-based effects which can turn the tide of battles and the battlefield itself.

Along with the new unit overview, the team is excited to announce a free public Beta for Bannermen, which they will launch via Steam on February 8, ending February 10. This beta will give players a sense of the game, its story, and the tactics they will use to shape the world and deliver a victory for their lord.
