MicroProse :
September 2nd, 2024 – MicroProse, the legendary game developer and publisher known for its groundbreaking simulation titles, is proud to announce its latest publishing venture: Dagger Directive. Developed by Arcane Alpacas LLC, this nostalgic throwback tactical first-person shooter (FPS) promises to deliver a gripping, player-driven experience that combines modern mechanics with a nostalgic visual style.
In Dagger Directive, players will take on the role of a member of Task Force Dagger, an elite international special forces unit tasked with saving the world from a variety of threats. The game offers three distinct campaigns, each set in diverse global environments—from battling eco-terrorists in the icy waters of the Bering Sea to halting international crime in the South Pacific, and combating extreme nationalism in the heart of Eastern Europe.
Dagger Directive delivers the strategic depth and rewarding sense of player choice that MicroProse has always championed. Dagger Directive allows players to approach missions in their own way, whether they prefer stealth or all-out action. With its nostalgic visual style combined with realistic simulation of ballistics and environmental factors, it’s a title that will resonate with both tactical enthusiasts and FPS fans alike.
Key Features of Dagger Directive Include:
● Mission Freedom: Players can choose their equipment, decide the time of day for their mission, and move at their own pace. Whether you want to go loud or stay quiet, the choice is yours.
● Global Campaigns: Fight across three different campaigns, each with its own unique setting and challenges.
● Extensive Armory: Customize your loadout with a wide variety of weapons, attachments, and equipment, tailored to your preferred style of combat.
● Realistic Simulation: Every shot, every grenade, and every action is governed by realistic physics, including mass, distance, velocity, and gravity. Plan your moves with precision, as every decision matters.
● Dynamic Environments: Use the environment to your advantage, from hiding in shadows to navigating through tall grass. The time of day and weather conditions can drastically alter the gameplay experience.
Dagger Directive continues MicroProse’s tradition of publishing titles that offer deep, engaging gameplay with a focus on realism and strategy. The game is set to become a key addition to MicroProse’s portfolio, appealing to a new generation of gamers while honoring the legacy of the classics that have made the company a household name in the gaming world.
