In video game 'Destiny's Sword,' mental health is as important as combat strategy

Promotional artwork for the upcoming video game, 'Destiny's Sword,' in which your characters' mental health are as important as their strengths and weaponry. Most combat video games stress tactics and firepower, but in the upcoming sci-fi strategy game "Destiny's Sword" you will also want to take into account your bedside manner. The online role-playing computer game from Ontario, Canada, studio 2Dogs Games puts players in the role of a squadron commander in a futuristic faction war. Scores of players can compete online – think "World of Warcraft" mashed up with the movie "Starship Troopers." But there's another unique twist: As you direct your troops, their experiences in combat will affect each character differently – that, in turn, influences their effectiveness in subsequent battles.
