The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily, a captivating crowd-controlling turn-based strategy game, is set to release in 2024 on PC via Steam. This innovative game is a collaborative effort between One or Eight (LOST EPIC), WSS playground (Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth-), and Alliance Arts.
Unraveling the Story
In The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily, players are immersed in a gripping narrative centered around the protagonist, Scarlet. Accused of murdering the King, Scarlet faces a wrongful death sentence from the Empire. In a twist of fate, she travels back in time to an era devoid of the internet, where she encounters a mysterious girl named Lily, known for her mastery of media and livestreaming.
The Power of Livestreaming
United by a common goal, Scarlet and Lily harness the influence of livestreaming to lead a revolution and seek vengeance against the Empire. Their ingenious strategy involves manipulating imperial forces through the dissemination of deceptive information and the art of swaying public opinion.
Media Manipulation Tactics
As players progress through the game, they must leverage the power of media manipulation to outsmart the enemy. Some tactics include hijacking the Empire’s sole aerial warship to spread fake news from the skies and distracting imperial ground troops to tilt the odds in Scarlet’s favor. Additionally, players can exploit the uncertainties among the enemy generals, disrupt supply chains, and create diversions to weaken imperial battalions before launching a decisive strike.
Building a Formidable Force
A crucial aspect of the game revolves around bolstering Scarlet’s ranks with prisoners of war who have been swayed to join her cause through propaganda. Players must engage in conversations with these comrades, each with a unique background and story, to build trust and boost the morale of their friendly forces. By fostering deep bonds through conversations, players unlock stat-boosting abilities and gradually transform Scarlet’s rebellion from a mere nuisance into an unstoppable force capable of toppling the entire Empire.
CEO’s Insight
Daichi Saito, the CEO of WSS Playground, spoke about the game’s core theme, stating, “The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily is ultimately a story about mass media. If we can so easily sway public opinion in a world before the Internet, where will the power of media technology go? We look forward to seeing how players exercise what could be called excessive press power.”
Diverse Language Options
The game is set to cater to a global audience with language options in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, ensuring that players from various regions can enjoy the captivating storyline and engaging gameplay.
Prepare to immerse yourself in a world of media manipulation and strategic warfare as you join Scarlet and Lily on their quest to challenge the Empire’s rule in The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily. Get ready for an epic gaming experience that explores the power of media and its profound impact on shaping the destiny of nations.
