Frontline Gaming is releasing Blood Throne: The Tower of Sacrifice, a cooperative fantasy RPG board game that pits players against monsters.
Frontline Gaming is running the Kickstarter, so you know they are going to deliver big on this one! The project will be launching on January 18th, and if you love RPGs, this is going to be one you’ll want to sign up for. FLG said this is basically D&D crossed with XCOM but as a board game.
In a nutshell, you have a team of fantasy heroes that level up and gain skills, gear, etc. to battle demons and monsters! The game will be for 1-7 players, and like any good RPG, your characters progress throughout the game, but in this, the narrative runs based on your decisions.
Blood Throne: The Tower of Sacrifice New Cooperative RPG KS Starts Soon!
The miniatures in this project also look amazing, as they were all designed with help from Creature Caster, who really knows how to make both monsters and heroes!
Here is a little more from Frontline Games about how the game will play:
The world, Cheol is riven by monsters thirsting for the blood and souls of the innocent. Belphegore, the Lord of Sacrifice, is attempting to seize the Blood Throne and become a god in a world where the gods are dead. Your heroes come from every nation still standing to join the Last Accord in their desperate attempt to stop him.
Manage a party of heroes with unique strengths in this cooperative fantasy board game for 1-7 players.
Level up, gain new skills and loot while the persistent, narrative campaign unfolds with your choices.
All the minis look amazing, the concept sounds great, and it should be a great way to get some more tabletop action in!
The project is launching on the 18th of January, so be sure to check out their project page and sign up so you know when it goes live. That way you can score all the early bird specials!
The Heroes
There are already a ton of characters to pick from, and even more are on the way! Pretty much, no matter what style of character you like to play in an RPG, they will have it for the new board game!
