Brigade E5: New Jagged Union Launches!

Software publisher Strategy First Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd., is pleased to announce that the PC game "Brigade E5: New Jagged Union," developed by Apeiron Co, is now available for purchase at North America retail stores.

"'Brigade E5: New Jagged Union' offers our players a fresh view of a classical turn-based combat system. The Smart Pause Mode (SPM?) blends together advantages of both turn-based and real-time, allowing the player to experience realistic tactical combats in real-time and still have the comfort of turn-based." says Dmitry Ivashkin, lead Programmer for Apeiron Co.

"Brigade E5: New Jagged Union" is set in the fictional, small tropical country of Palinero. Players are required to assemble a band of mercenaries and take control of a rapidly deteriorating situation in order to survive the imminent civil war and avoid having their country left in complete ruins.

As a tactical strategy title, "Brigade E5: New Jagged Union" offers players the opportunity to experience three different viewpoints of the conflict, or work outside the political structure to achieve their own goals towards global domination. Game play for the title is based on an innovative combat system called SPM (Smart Pause Mode) that successfully blends together the elements of both real-time and turn-based games.

"Brigade E5: New Jagged Union" is now available for purchase at EB and Gamestop at the suggested retail price of $39.99. The game is rated M for Mature by ESRB.
