The upcoming dark fantasy game Gord has just released fresh, detailed gameplay. This 16-minute gameplay video is hosted by Covenant Game Director himself, Stan Just. Unfortunately, even with so much detail being revealed, their publisher Team17 hasn’t revealed a release date or window just yet, but seeing what’s in store is definitely exciting!
In the video, players are introduced to the game’s unique gameplay blend of city building, community management, and player-driven adventure mechanics while examining the wealth of choices players will have during each playthrough of the game’s campaign, along with the fully configurable ‘Custom Scenarios’ mode. They also showcase some of the structures players can build, and how settlements can be customized with a range of different buildings, such as a combat training facility to access more well-equipped units, and a temple to increase their magical abilities. They also discuss the game’s focus on personal stories, explaining how each citizen’s unique personality, attributes, and actions can directly influence player decisions and the long-term social dynamics of their community.
Probably the best part of the gameplay video is the fact that we get to see some real-time combat as they work on clearing a creature-ridden swamp using an arsenal of brutal melee weapons and powerful incantations with gruesome results!
Gord will be released on PC via Steam whenever they do give us a release date, but this was definitely an awesome update that I am very happy to see revealed! Are you looking forward to leading the Tribe of the Dawn as they strive to establish new settlements and explore eerie forbidden lands?
