Find out why Ara: History Untold stands out as a grand strategy game

Over at Xbox Wire, editor Mike Nelson shares insights on the ways Ara: History Untold differentiates itself from other grand strategy games. “Elements like crafting, simultaneous turns and a diverse group of well-known and lesser-known historical figures are just some of the ways it stands apart,” he writes. “In a typical turn-based grand strategy game, players take turns sequentially – you can see what your opponent is planning and you’re given a chance to counter that move and vice versa.

Mountain hikes are also part of her routine – though her backpack comes with a feeding tube. She’s also six months out of medical school, doing a vascular surgery rotation as a junior doctor (the equivalent of a medical residency program in the U.S.).
