Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries is a cinematic fairy tale platformer for PC, full of drama and dark twists. Step into the boots of a vengeful Red Riding Hood. This game is a well-balanced cocktail of three successful gameplay ingredients: some good old-fashioned action platforming on a 2.5D playground, fun combo-based hack ‘n slash combat (against some pretty deranged fairy tale enemies) and rewarding environment puzzles (exploring the beautiful sceneries to the max).Set in an attractive fantasy universe and topped off with a surprising take on the Red Riding Hood tale as you know it, Woolfe promises an entertaining, aesthetic experience. This game concept from Grin has spawned many fan art - and they created a special Fan Art Contest blog page on their website

I am so excited that they have decided to digitise one of the best 2 player board games in existence - Their Kickstarter is a great project! Twilight Struggle inherits its fundamental systems from the card-driven classics We the People and Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage. In that tradition, it is a challenging strategy game of medium complexity that presents new and different challenges with every game session. The game map is a world map of the period, whereon players move units and exert influence in attempts to gain allies and control for their superpower. As with GMT's other card-driven games, decision-making is a challenge; how to best use one's cards and units given consistently limited resources? Twilight Struggle's Event cards add detail and flavor to the game. They cover a vast array of historical happenings, from the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1948 and 1967, to Vietnam and the U.S. peace movement, to the Cuban Missile Crisis and other such incidents that brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Subsystems capture the prestige-laden Space Race as well as nuclear tensions, with the possibility of game-ending nuclear war. By moving to digital platforms, players will have more freedom playing the game than the physical board game allows. The digital version will include a game tutorial to help players understand the game fairly quickly, AI opponents to allow you to sharpen your skills, pass-and-play multiplayer, and both asynchronous and real-time online play so you always have a way to fit playing time in!
Call me nostalgic, old fashioned or retro.. I don't care. I have a weak spot for pixelated fanatsy games, Castlevania, Zelda, Metroid.. early Final Fantasy. I just lap it up. So when I saw the Heart Forth, Alica project on Kickstarter I knew this was my chance to play part in developing one of those (in my mind) epic games. "Heart Forth, Alicia".. ..is a '90s-inspired Metroidvania RPG about a young wizard on her journey to stop a Spirit from consuming her homeland.
At Heart Forth, Alicia's core is an ode to the classics. Remember the electrifying gameplay of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the expansive worlds of the Zelda games, and the rich, engaging story of Xenogears? This game is crafted in the spirit of those great adventures of the '90s. The story unfolds amidst the repercussions of centuries worth of struggle, strife, and bloodshed between cultures, races and worldviews. But above all else, it's an epic Metroidvania RPG that combines timeless 16- and 32-bit gameplay, modern mechanics, and a set of unique, intertwining stories to take you on a fantastic journey A digital card and board game of heroes and high-adventure set in the fairy-tale animal kingdom of Armello!As computer and video games go; this game 'Armello' is awesome! - You get to play animal human hybrids in a medieval setting. I saw this project on kickstarter and just had to back it, because I want to play it, so bad! The King, once Armello's wise and benevolent ruler, has fallen ill to a dark and mysterious force known only as the Rot. Slowly eating his body and soul, the Rot twists him deeper and deeper into madness. In response, Armello's Great Clans have called forth their Heroes to claim the throne of Armello; and this is where you start your adventure, Hero As a 'Hero' from one of the Great Clans of Armello, you'll quest, scheme, explore, vanquish monsters, perform the Mad King's royal edicts and face off against other players with one ultimate end goal in mind — storming the palace and becoming king or queen of Armello! There's no boring down time in Armello. After you hit the 'End Turn' button you'll be busy equipping items, recruiting followers and purchasing talents in your hero's unique talent tree. Maybe you're playing cards to the board as Perils for other heroes to stumble into or perhaps you're playing cards to strike up temporary allegiances... they're always temporary.
I like games like Pirate Fluxx and Beanz and other card combination games that make the predictable, well.. unpredictable. I want a game like that to have a theme and backstory. I want to have fun and have a laugh with my mates playing a silly, but involving game - Heroes Wanted is a tactical card / board game combining fun with strategy. It is also unique that it has a single player option! Heroes Wanted by Action Phase is a tactical board game for 1-5 superhero hopefuls, attempting to fulfill their dreams of becoming a member of Zeta City’s exclusive crime fighting super team: The Champions of Zeta City. Each time you play, you will create a unique superhero comprised of two hero cards. You will then choose a scenario and face a different villain (or villains), but the objective remains the same: gaining as much fame as possible by KO’ing minions, completing headlines, and thwarting the villain. At the end of each game, the superhero with the most fame is the winner.
There is a YouTube video available showing the game being played. With over 1,000 possible superhero combinations, four different scenarios, and over 100 potential villains, no two games will ever be the same! Whether you are playing solo, in campaign mode, or duking it out against other eager crime fighters, Heroes Wanted offers a near limitless amount of replayability and customization. |
