Valiant Hearts announced (Ubisoft, PC/360/PS3/XB1/PS4)

[Deleted_171835]

Ubisoft Montpellier's Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a 2D puzzle adventure game that set during World War I, but it's not a war game, according to audio director Yoan Fanise. "It's a game about war," he told Polygon. "About humans during war."

The game uses a comic book art style, all hand-drawn by art director Paul Tumelaire, to tell the story of five characters of different nationalities during WWI who are all somehow connected. There's the French prisoner of war who peels potatoes in a German camp. There's the American volunteer. There's the Belgian nurse. There's the English pilot. And there's the German soldier, who is in love with the Frenchman's daughter.

I'm calling it now - that dog's not making it to the end of the game, and its death will be there solely to tug on the heartstrings of players.

Spoiler

I'm going to cry anyway.

Looks like a game you'd see on Armor Games or some other similar website.

2D sidescroller set on the World War I?
Meh....

Out of all the games they've revealed today, this looks the best. Nice to see a game that actually tries to tackle war itself instead of just shooty shooty bang bang.

2D sidescroller set on the World War I?
Meh....

You're right, that material is so repetitive. Every other game is a WWI-sidescroller.

Looks TOTALLY awesome. I'll be sure to play this.

Why is this not on Wii U?

Looks like Castle Crashers just with more human like characters.
