Board games: big fans.
Weve chronicled somegreat games for novicesbefore, andthe best tabletop thrill-festsyou can buy on Amazon.
And now a very exciting new game has come to our attention.
Its calledDark Souls, and its due out on Friday the 21st of April.
It promises to be a strategically challenging, deeply immersive combat exploration game for 1-4 players.
And heres everything else you gotta know…
You probably recognise the nameDark Souls.
And a brutally difficult game.
The games are in the RPG format, and set in a medieval-esque world.
Exploring, fighting, and mastering difficult techniques are the main selling points, along with some stunning graphics.
Over 30,000 people chipped in to make this tabletop treat a reality.
And, clearly, the fans were impressed with what Steamforged was offering.
Its easy to see why.
TheKickstarter pagefor the project was outrageously detailed, and talked an impassioned talk about what this game could be.
And since that sounds awesome, the cash soon began rolling in.
The Kickstarter campaign was impressive.
And to make matters more challenging, you only have limited slots with which to carry items.
Steamforged have put together a cunning system to bring the world to life, too.
Its a game, then, that its impossible to predict.
The boss fights look great, as well.
Its also a game that rewards clever players and punishes button mashing, according to thewebsite.
A trueDark Soulsexperience is never an easy one, after all.
Crivens, thats a lot of stuff.
Its no wonder this game has such replay value and in-built variations, is it?
The core set isnt everything thats going to be available, either.
Polygonreports that one of these packs will take its inspiration from The Last Giant fromDark Souls II.
But thatll only make your eventual victory more rewarding… right?
