Wrath Unleashed
Encyclopedia : W : WR : WRA : Wrath Unleashed
Wrath Unleashed is a strategy game for the Playstation 2 and the Xbox. It is a chess-like game that combines stategy with combat. The basic idea of the game is there is a war between the gods of the four Elements (Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind), a war which shattered their homeworld into an asteroid belt, sustained by their powers. In the game, one god attempts to claim the territory of another god with their army of mythical creatures, which move over a "board" of hexagonal spaces (each space representing a type of terrain, such as Desert, Glacier, Swamp, Island, etc). When two opposing troops occupy the same hexagonal space, gameplay shifts to an arena, where the troops must battle to the death for the right to occupy the space. The point of the game is to position your troops over spaces which contain the enemy's temples.
