The Escape From Arkham Asylum Kickstarter is starting soon, check out this preview full of new minis and gameplay mechanics!
The Kickstarter is going to be all about the bad guys and see if you can’t make it to the streets to cause chaos once again. If you can’t tell from the name, the game will follow the villains on their way out of the Asylum, and at the end, you might even get to fight the big old bat.
The Kickstarter is shaping up to be awesome so we can’t wait till it goes live. In part 1, we covered the basics of the game and what to expect in the project. This time, we’ll be focusing more on the minis revealed and more specific gameplay. Let’s jump into it!
Escape From Arkham Asylum Kickstarter Preview: Part 2
The game will be for up to five players and be semi-cooperative. With them all being the baddest villains in Gotham, you can only expect it to be semi-cooperative. Plus, with the way the escape plans work, each game will be fully customizable, and not two games will be alike.
Each plan will have different conditions, special effects, and hidden gameplay mechanics. If you love what Knight Models is up to, check out what else they have made lately!
We’ll let Knight models take it from here about what to expect on the gameplay.
Escape Plan
The next thing is to choose an Escape Plan from those included in Batman: Escape From Arkham Asylum. Escape plans carry the information necessary to configure the game and what will happen while playing. The escape plan indicates the number of rooms that will be used, and the number of additional corridors that must be placed in order to properly develop the objectives of each player such as crafting, combating, etc. To prepare the rooms, the room of the Cells of the Super-Villains will be placed first.
This room is the only one that is turned face up from the beginning. From that moment on they will be placed in contact with up to 3 of the edges of this room, a Corridor and a room chosen at random and face down. This will be the way to place the board game until you have placed all the necessary rooms indicated by the plan.
At that time, additional Corridors may be connected at the players’ discretion. Finally, the Control Board will be placed with the Alert and Time meter set at 1.
New Miniatures:
Poison Ivy. She will be a main character of the game like The Joker, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Two-Face, Bane, and Scarecrow. Other characters already revealed are Aaron Cash, Hugo Strange or some of the guys from The Suicide Squad: Peacemaker, King Shark, and Polka-Dot Man.
Batman: Escape From Arkham Asylum is intended to be “the biggest Batman game ever done” on Kickstarter, containing “hundreds” of miniatures and tokens, cards or markers. A fully immersive board game that will be launched on Kickstarter this Fall.
Every miniature in this set looks amazing, plus they say there could be an insane number of villains, so if you love DC, then you need to be on this project.
That does it for this one, keep your eyes peeled as the project is starting soon!
