Fans of the site may recall the handful of times we've dipped into a couple of Ironward's Solstice Chronicles titles; notably The Red Solstice and Solstice Chronicles: Missing in Action. The former is an action/RTS title that allows up to eight players to team up and fight off a horde of monsters, while the latter is more action-oriented top-down shooter with two player couch co-op. It also recently received a big update that fixes a number of issues and makes some pretty big changes.

Solstice Chronicles: Missing in Action, Ironward's follow-up to their cooperative tactical, squad-based strategy game The Red Solstice, now has an official launch date for PC. On July 26, grab a buddy and get ready to battle some mutants.

Video game concepts can occasionally be tough to unpack, requiring many lengthy videos explaining the intricacies of how the game works, what its goals are, and how best to approach it.  That's... not quite the case with Solstice Chronicles: MIA, a forthcoming twin-stick shooter.

Solstice Chronicles: MIA was announced back in August and since that time has found its way onto crowd funding platform FIG. The game is currently just a few dollars short of its goal, so hopefully by the time you've read this its been fully funded. 

Regular fans of our Monday night co-op streams may remember seeing us check out Red Solstice a couple times. It's a pretty interesting squad-based tactical shooter that requires a great degree of cooperation. The development team behind it, Ironward, is setting their sights on bringing some of that same tactical thinking to a twin-stick shooter with Solstice Chronicles: Missing in Action.
