Publisher Bad Crow Games has announced an Armored Core board game heading to KickStarter very soon. The board game will be name Amored Core RTS, where players pilot miniature mech models simultaneously through a 3D cityscape. They dodge around corners, boost to the rooftops, and activate weapons at the same time to capture the speed and action of the video games.
The developers incorporated a variety of mechanics but the largest innovation is an LED pointer built into each miniatures’ base to provide instantaneous line of sight.. Physical buildings provide cover from the lights.
About the Game
This officially licensed board game version of Armored Core™ is for 2 to 4 players (expandable to 6), and has been specifically designed to be fast to set up, fast to teach and fast to play.
Between the 20 minute missions, players spend the rewards they earn for accomplishing objectives to upgrade their mechs and equipment. Like the video games players are able to customize their mech according to their play-style and team role. Over the course of the campaign teams will strive to accomplish objectives for their faction in order to become the ultimate ‘Ravens’.
Let’s put down Pokemon Go for just a moment, and take a look at the latest Pokemon from Sun/Moon. First, we have Mimikyuu, a Ghost/Fairy Pokemon that hides behind a disguise… because it wants to be loved. Second, we have Kiteruguma, a strong Bear who loves hugs but is unaware of his own strength.
I think Mimikyuu is kind of cute. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
Blizzard is releasing a new hero, Ana, and she looks amazing. She is a support character who shoots her allies to heal them, and can shoot her enemies to poison them making them unable to heal for a short period of time. Her side arm can put enemies to sleep and her Ultimate can make any hero into a super solider and looks to be almost unstoppable. She also has a grenade that acts similar to her normal weapon but with a small area of effect.
