Developer Kite Games and publisher THQ Nordic have announced their brand-new action RTS The Valiant. The new action RTS brings together RPG elements and it is designed to bring a fresh experience to players wanting something new in the genre. The game is focused on more tactical combat with smaller forces while devising a strategy on how to defeat them.
Each mission in the game is unique and decisions made both on and off the battle will count towards your success in the game. There is no base-building in the game so you will need to choose your forces carefully for each mission along with deciding the skills and equipment given to each hero. Each hero in the game has three unique skill trees giving you a vast selection of how you want to progress with your build.
This allows you to have the perfect fit for your playstyle which compliments the game’s fast-paced, melee-centric combat which challenges even the most veteran RTS players. The game offers two different multiplayer modes: competitive and cooperative. The game’s campaign is designed as a single-player experience where three friends can enjoy the Last Man Standing mode together and hold their ground against waves of enemies, including mini-bosses and bosses.
Success in the game is rewarded in the form of experience which helps you to level up heroes, unlock new skills, and attain better stats for future challenges. The PvP mode in the game offers 1vs1 or 2vs2 scenarios that consist of swift and thrilling clashes as players capture control points and build up their forces. These modes have cosmetic meta-progression and special rewards for ranked play. Apart from the announcement trailer, THQ Nordic has also released the official gameplay trailer
Key features of the game include:
- Squad-based RTS with a range of units, from tanky swordsmen to quick cavalry
- Select hero-squads and auxiliary squads across 15 exciting, hand-crafted Single Player missions, each with custom cinematics, narrated journals, difficulty levels, and more

- Large array of weapons and armors to loot and equip throughout the campaign, each with its own stats and special skill options
- Combine hero skills and weapons/equipment for a huge selection of hero builds
