New 5th Cell game revealed: Lock Nation


The latest Nintendo Power has unveiled the latest game from Drawn to Life developers 5th Cell: Lock Nation, an original real-time strategy game. Like Drawn to Life, the player creates part of the environment -- but in Lock Nation, the player's actions have more direct impact on the game.

The player, as an "archineer" (architect/engineer) named Lock, must build walls, turrets, and magical defenses against an army of mechanized invaders, all in the space of two minutes. When that time is up, combat begins, and Lock must battle the enemies directly (using various touch-screen-based activities to determine the success of each attack) and gather more resources in order to keep the invading army at bay.

The time limit makes Lock Nation a sort of arcade RTS, and one that people who shy away from traditional strategy games may find interesting -- especially since it has online multiplayer
