The post I really want to write might come a little later than usual, so I thought I’d chime in with this interim update on the Hex Gambit reboot.
I’m fixing things up for a PC Preview Build, coming soon for our old Kickstarter backers!
This isn’t technically the game you backed, that came and went and died an awful death, but you all deserve a copy of whatever I’m making now. I do not have the distribution details figured out yet, but I plan to let all the old backers in on this, regardless of the platform you chose for the original game. Here’s what’s coming:
PC Preview Build Features
- Local (couch) multiplayer, 1-4 players, 0-4 controllers
- Free for All & 2v2
- Player handicaps let noobs play against veterans.
- Unique maps for 2, 3, and 4 player games.
- All 7 original minions are playable by humans, some with new moves!
- The AI uses soldiers only, but is responsive and fun to spar against.
- At least five captains will be ready to choose from, each with a unique minion loadout.
- Share controllers however you like: Everybody shares, or P1 and P3 can share controller 1 while P2 has his own. Crazy stuff like that.
- 7 team colors to pick from: Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple, or Black & White
