'Songs Of Silence' Closed Beta Update Adds New Maps And Modes, Accepting Sign-ups

by Rainier on Dec. 7, 2023 @ 1:08 p.m. PST

Songs Of Silence is a story-rich strategy game, set in two distinct fantasy worlds threatened by the all-devouring Silence.

Featuring both a single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer modes, Songs Of Silence features a unique mix of turn-based kingdom management, exploration, and hero development, contrasted with short and intense real-time battles.

Unleash your armies in exciting real-time battles and support them by casting powerful combat spells from your heroes. With more than 100 different units available, there’s plenty of deep customization when it comes to constructing your very own army. Engagements are decisive and focused, only lasting around a minute!

Songs Of Silence offers a fresh take on strategy games where cards represent the unique actions granted by heroes and locations. Each faction and hero has their own, distinct play style - both on the strategic map and in battle. Choose from hundreds of cards ranging from boosting the growth of your cities to spreading the life-devouring Silence. The options are nearly limitless!

Songs Of Silence also features a soundtrack by legendary composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, best known for scoring Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 12, and Valkyria Chronicles.

Those eager to play Songs of Silence will be happy to hear that sign-ups for the Closed Beta have been re-opened.

Songs of Silence is re-opening sign ups for its closed beta on Steam on December 11th.

The beta will be updated with brand new content, including new maps and units, as well as the addition of multiplayer mode.

The beta will be version agnostic, so saved games will work between updates.
