The Kickstarter project for Aeon's End Digital has reached 100% and is heading into achieving stretch goals! Thanks to all our backers, especially One Deck Dungeon players.
Aeon's End is a cooperative deck-building game where you struggle to defend the city of Gravehold from The Nameless and their hordes using unique abilities, powerful spells, and, most importantly of all, your wits. We are excited to be working with designer Kevin Riley from Action Phase Games, as well as Indie Boards and Cards to bring Aeon’s End to Steam. Visit the campaign to try the playable demo (recently extended) and see for yourself!
Into the Breach: One Deck Dungeon Crossover Info
On the Kickstarter you can find more information about Xae crossing over from One Deck Dungeon into Aeon's End. But now we also have details about Mist joining the mages of One Deck Dungeon!
In her own words:
Gravehold, my home, cannot fall. I won’t let it. Somewhere, the source of the Nameless, humanity's greatest threat, must exist. Some world, some place that they call home. I can feel our time running out. For now, we survive, but can do little more. We cannot last like this forever. I will find a new weapon, allies... an edge must exist out there. So, each day, I channel a breach to a new far away place. Once, I nearly froze as soon as I stepped through. Another time, my clothes were aflame as I leapt from rock to rock in an endless lava flow. Always, I search for some sign of where they come from or others like us who can help.
Today, this new world seems familiar. Despair hangs heavy in the hunched postures of its people. This is a place accustomed to tragedy. Perhaps I can exchange secrets with the warriors of this place. An unfriendly passerby points me toward a massive marble tower with a single utterance, “The Guild.” When I turn back to ask another question, he’s already lost in the throng of people. I suppose “The Guild” must protect these people from the omnipresent gloom. Seems like they could use some help. I will prove my worth and then they will aid me. They must, for Gravehold depends on it.
In terms of gameplay, designer Chris Cieslik has come up with some initial ideas (subject to change with playtesting):
1P:
Heroic Feat - Focus: Roll any or all of your dice stored here. Store a Heroic die here when you use a spell. You may store up to two dice at a time.
Innate Skill - Prep: [Magic X]: Store a Strength 2 or Agility 2 here for every 3 mana spent (max 9) and replace this skill with Unleash.
Unleash: [Free]: Add 2 to each die stored here. You may gain them now, or leave them here.
2P:
Heroic Feat - Focus: Roll any or all of your dice stored here. Store a Heroic die here when you use a spell. You may only store one die at a time.
Innate Skill - Planar Insight: [Free] Any of the party's spells that have been used may now be used again.
Of course, these will be playtested extensively before Mist comes to the game, and all of the above is subject to change before release.
Remember, Mist will come to ALL copies of One Deck Dungeon for FREE - but only if we reach the $39k stretch goal! So if you haven’t already, why not head over to Aeon’s End and back it. Even a dollar helps!
