I (Robin Ek, TGG) was just about to close down my computer for the day (it´s Saturday morning after all). However, since I spotted a mail from the Madrid based indie games studio RECOtechnology. I simply had to check what they had to say. Well, it appears as if RECOtechnology is working on a really promising turn-based Strategy/RPG called “Numantia ” (for PS4, Xbox One and PC):

“Good morning This is Jaime Arcaya, Marketing Director at RECOtechnology. We would like to introduce NUMANTIA, a Turn-Based Strategy/RPG based in the in the ancient conflict between Rome and the city of Numantia, in a war that lasted for more than two decades. The game allows the player to become a Numantian chieftain and manage the resources of the legendary city; or be the head of the Republic and lead one of the biggest armies in history. It will be released in Q4 for PS4, XBOX ONE and PC format.” – RECOtechnology

This picture made me think about “Total War: ATTILA” and the TV-show “Vikings”. So “hopefully” we will get to see some really awesome Viking action in “Numantia”.

Furthermore, RECOtechnology also showed me the very first trailer for “Numantia” (you will find the press release and the trailer further down the page). So I checked it out, and I have to say that the game looks pretty awesome so far. Nevertheless, we will know for sure if “Numantia” is set to rock or suck once the game launches for PS4, Xbox One and PC by the end of this year.

And with that said, what do you think about “Numantia” so far? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section down below!

Press release:
The game is developed by the Spanish studio RecoTechnology, with the support of PS4™- Spain via the PlayStation®Talents Aliance initiative, and will be released this autumn.

Numantia takes place in one of the most famous sieges in the history of the Republic of Rome. The player will be able to choose between both sides, either leading the Celtiberian troops against the invaders, or help consolidating the power of Rome in the Iberian Peninsula.

“With only 8,000 fighting men before the war began, how many and what terrible reverses did they bring upon the Romans! How many treaties did they make on equal terms with the Romans, which the latter would not consent to make with any other people!”

RecoTechnology is proud to announce its new game, currently in development: Numantia. Numantia is a Turn-Based Strategy/RPG game that takes place in the ancient conflict between Rome and the city of Numantia, in a war that lasted for more than two decades.

The game allows the player to become a Numantian chieftain and manage the resources of the legendary city; or be the head of the Republic and lead one of the biggest armies in history. Take command of more than 30 different units based on real corps and detachments: Play with spearmen, slingers, mounted skirmishers or the fearsome Devoti in the Numantian campaign. Lead squads of equites, velites, triari or the legendary praetorians in the Roman side. Each faction has also special units, heroes and unique objects letting the player re-live the lifestyle of these ancient warriors. Consider your choices and decide the future of its main characters, through our events system.

These events play a fundamental role in the lives of the heroes of Numantia. These heroes, included in both the Numantian and Roman campaigns, are present not only during the battles but also throughout the storyline. Defend Numantia or conquer Hispania in battles inspired in true historical events. History is yours to write. Numantia will be released in Q4-2017.
