It looks like this one will resonate with consumers.īusy as his time is in running the Kickstarter, we sat down with League of Geeks (the developer) Founder and Director, Trent Kusters, to get his thoughts on the game and some more insights beyond the exhaustive information that’s on the Kickstarter page itself.Īnd of course, if you want to back the Kickstarter yourself, here’s the link.ĭigitally Downloaded (DD): What inspired you to produce a digital board game, and are you concerned that that genre is relatively “niche”? The Kickstarter launched around a week ago, and it’s already at $106,000 (at time of writing) – half way to its initial goal of $200,000. Sounds intriguing, right? Well, you wouldn’t be the only one. 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.” But in Armello? According to the game description on its Kickstarter page: “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. This means that it takes advantage of the unique capabilities of the digital medium.įor instance, in a typical board game you’re asked to sit back and wait nicely for your next turn as other players take their turns. Though there’s a prototype that the developers build when testing out the mechanics of the game, Armello is designed from the start to be a digital board game.
It’s also a board game, rather than a standard adventure game.
As you can see from the screenshots and the like, it’s a gorgeous looking fantasy game where animals take up arms to go on adventures and the like. Developed (largely) in Australia, the game is the brainchild of a small team, but it is a game of real ambition. Armello is a new Kickstarter worth noting.
