'War of Rights' Kickstarter Campaign Successful, Stretch Goals Unveiled

War of Rights is a multiplayer game set around the tumultuous period of the American Civil War, during the Maryland Campaign of September 1862.

Campfire Games is devoted to presenting the gruesome and glorious elements of the period, while maintaining the highest level of historical accuracy and realism as possible thanks to the wonders of CryEngine.

Players will be able to take on the multiple battlefields of the campaign, from the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, where the Siege of Harper's Ferry took place, to the ridgelines of South Mountain, to the meandering waters of Antietam Creek at the Battle of Antietam. Additionally, players will also be able to choose from a list of regiments that fought in each battle, as well as what rank to fight as, whether they want to slog it out as a lowly private, or orchestrate the carnage and mayhem as a Major General.

War of Rights has funded on Kickstarter, and now Campfire Games set its sights on Stretch Goals.

"Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone for your love, support and coverage of our game - your excitement's reinvigorated the team during the campaign and I'm thrilled to see that you're excited about our game as much as us.  We experienced a great surge in pledges during Veterans Day, and now War of Rights has reached its main funding goal! We're now working towards reaching some Stretch Goals (which we'll reveal later) to make the game even bigger and better,” said Mads Støjko, project lead at Campfire Games, "There's still 48 hours to go on the campaign and anything can happen in that time, so we're not opening the root beer just yet!"

Each map contains a period reconstruction of the buildings, farms, forests, roads and rocks that existed so that players can fight through the streets of Harper's Ferry, in the wooded heights of Fox's Gap at South Mountain, or in the wheat fields and Bloody Lanes of Antietam with great accuracy. Players can feel the whiz of each deadly shot and shell fly by their bodies, or hitting their comrades, or themselves, as they scream in a bloody hail from their wounds.

Campfire Games brings the fighting of the Civil War right to the player's computer screen!
