CuteFloor | Zamolxe ⭐ Unreleased Gameplay @CuteFloor | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Zamolxe is an unreleased real-time strategy game developed by Impale Entertainment (or Impale Ent in short), a short-lived division of the Romanian book publisher Nemira Media.
They started to work on this game in December 1999. A few months later, they presented an early tech demo on the E3 trade show. Unfortunately, the company didn't have the resources to fund another 6 to 12 months of development and they couldn't find a publisher to invest in the game. So, it eventually got cancelled in mid-2000. Most of Impale's other projects suffered the same fate.
Zamolxe is set in the ancient world and mainly inspired by the history of Romania. It was planned to play on multiple territories simultaneously with a unitary army and shared resources, especially in multiplayer mode. So, if a fortress is under siege, you could come with reinforcements from other regions. You also would have been able to use siege tools like ladders, boiling oil and siege towers. The E3 demo was already packed with unique features like the 180 degree view and the formation system, as well as original music by the Romanian band Phoenix, to show a sample of what Zamolxe would be like. Impale Ent intended to release the game by the end of the year 2000.
In this video, you can see the very last build. Lead programmer Ionut Matasaru originally provided it to the now defunct pcGTW website, dedicated to PC games that weren't. This build is about 30% completed. It is playable as a single-player demo and includes two nations, Romans and Dacians. However, there are no campaign missions and no computer AI either, apart from basic unit behavior.
