Warpath - Because Battlefield Vagina wasn't diverse enough.

Does the name "Lilith Games" mean anything to you? They're the mobile company behind such riveting titles like "AFK Arena".

Well, apparently they made a "Alternate Universe World War 2" game promising "Key Historical Battles" and "Real People, Real Warfare" while the puff piece they received from Pocket Gamer says the following:

"Lilith Games' strategy game Warpath is now available for iOS and Android following a couple of months of beta testing on the latter platform. It takes place in an alternate version of WW2 that sees players taking command of historically accurate air and land units across a plethora of battlefields."

"Players will take their armies from a small militia group to a powerful all-conquering force by successfully engaging with the game's strategy systems. They'll be able to utilise various, realistic WW2 units that range from infantry and armour to artillery and aircraft alongside teaming up with other players to increase their chances of victory and earning plenty of rewards."

As you can guess, it's pozzed as fuck. Of the generals available in the game on the official wiki, fully half of them are women. One of them's even black for double diversity points. The women even made up the majority of the generals for two of the three groups until the 1.03 patch evened them out for "Camp Liberty".

While the names of the campaign maps appear to be actual historical events (Battle of Moscow, Battle of El Alamein, etc.), they don't appear to use any of the real factions. The enemy is simply called "Raven" as a stand-in for the Wehrmacht.

In fact, one of the playable officers is clearly meant to be Erwin Rommel and has sided with the allies against his own country.

Pop culture is rapidly approaching the point depicted in that Perry Bible Fellowship comic (link below) where WWII is a complete fantasy.

Not that is isn't already, for obvious reasons.

Maybe they'll license D&D's Combat Wheelchair.
