Feature: Exclusive unit descriptions for Guardians of Graxia

Developer Petroglyph has been working on an downloadable strategy game called Guardians of Graxia. The game, which will also be accompanied by a board game, is set in an all new fantasy world with lots of new units. Big Download got a chance to get some descriptions of the game's units directly from Petroglyph along with screenshots showing the units in action. You can see one of the units, The Portal, above this post. The Portal is a simple deportation object that allows travel between continents in the game.

Guardians of Graxia is planned for release later this summer in both its PC game and board game versions later this summer. An physical collectible card game, Heroes of Graxia, is also in the works.

Mammoth Riders
Brothers in arms to the K'lan of the Easterlands, the Mammoth riders use their position atop their mammoth steeds to gain leverage in any battle for which they are engaged. These large beasts often strike fear into the enemy, particularly when the rampage through the ranks of their comrades. Well trained, the riders are kept hidden from direct combat by remaining in the howdahs positioned atop their massive beasts.
The Defiled
The Defiled are a sect of skeleton mages whose deal with the dark forces included self-mutilation while living. Surrendering all dignity while living, these spirits attained immense power through their own self-destruction. Magical shock troops for the Undead, these skeletal mages show no fear and no mercy.
The Great Angulooke
The Great Angulooke is a wise and terrifying dragon that dwells in the vast mountain ranges of Scoldamarr, the gateway continent between the demesnes of the Guardian Oshnuk and the small, but growing, kingdom of the Guardian Draknal. Since before the time of the ancients, he has hoarded one of the largest caches of Mana crystals in all Graxia; making him a target for those seeking to increase their own power.
Grimbark Thornbreed
Grimbark Thornbreed is a Timberling Elder whose strength and energies nurture the woodlands that he calls home. Fearsome in battle, he can crush infantry and cavalry alike with little effort. Known for steadfast loyalty and unfailing honesty, Grimbark's aid is much sought after.
Volos Flamebringer
Volos Flamebringer is a hero to the Sunspire Kingdom and one of the highest ranking, most powerful wizards in all of Graxia. Boyhood friend of the Guardian Draknal, he is renowned for his absolute mastery of fire magic and reviled for his volatile nature. Although Draknal's current empire is small, Volos' greatest ambition is to see his friend rule all of Graxia as he is confident that Draknal's rule will bring peace, justice and prosperity to the entire world.
