One of the least known and most significant conflicts in history – the Numantine War – can now be experienced for the first time in RECOtechnology’s NUMANTIA
After a series of humiliating defeats over a 20-year war, Rome has decided to send in its best general – Scipio Aemilianus – to put an end to Numantia’s rebellion. With rigorous training and unmatched strategy, Scipio and his elite army gear up for the final battle – which became known as the legendary Siege of Numantia. Now, the Numantians must face their most fearsome enemy yet – and it’s up to you (playing as the brave Celtiberian tribe of Numantia or the mighty Republican army of Rome) to experience historical events from a whole new perspective.
Play through 20 years of conflict in a narrative-driven single-player campaign set in the Iberian Peninsula during the Roman Republic era – or challenge a friend in an offline one-on-one battle. Engage in intense tactical combat as you lead an army of 30 units (including long-range slingers and powerful war heroes) to crush your opponent and secure victory.
Numantia features a robust choice-based event system. The decisions you make can benefit or (if you’re not careful) inadvertently hurt your own army. Will you go on the offensive and engage in endless skirmishes … or will you wait for the right time to strike at the heart of the enemy? Take command, plot a winning strategy, and immerse yourself in historical events that shaped the course of European history in Numantia.
QUOTES
Jaime Arcaya (Marketing Director, RECOtechnology):
“Two years ago, we decided to develop a strategy game after discovering that 2017 happens to be the 2150th anniversary of the Siege of Numantia. We thought it was a great story – and a foundation like no other for a game based on the Roman Republic.”
Francisco Encinas (CEO, RECOtechnology):
“Like any real-life conflict, Numantia plays in the ‘No Man’s Land’ between risk and reward. Every decision matters. Players have full control over their armies spanning huge stretches of land – and there’s no room for error. The course of history may be set, but players can now understand the strategic genius of Scipio Aemilianus and the limitless courage of the Numantians.”
