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. The difference for Ara is that it will process all those actions at once – this is what the team is referring to when talking about Simultaneous Turns; it’s simultaneously resolving every player’s turn at the same time.” The game launches Sept. 24 on Steam and Windows PC, and will be available day one with PC Game Pass.
