I always play with round tactics.
That's why I hadFrom the beginning an eye on the demo ofthrown. And what can I say:The dark fantasy game hits my taste exactly!
No matter whether graphic style, level of difficulty or game design: as a fan of XCOM, Wildermyth, FTL: Faster Than Light and Darkest Dungeon is Blightstone for meThe latest glimmer of hope on the horizon. Or maybe more: the first shadow of an atmospheric solar eclipse.
Blightstone is quickly explained, its simplicity makes it so attractive: on a schematic card you fight for several locations with fights, events and dealers to a final boss.Because death lurks on every corner, you switch to permanent improvements at the (mostly violent) end of a so -called run, after that the game begins again.
Blightstone is a Rogue-Like where you fight most of your time. However, you sometimes also have to make decisions that have a direct impact on party composition and the resources available to you such as firewood and beer. In the video I will show you a few minutes of it:
At the campfire you pepp again and heals the effects of ademonic plague, turned the good citizens into aggressive monsters. Your heroes can also get there and go crazy if you do not provide for you (Hello, Darkest Dungeon!).

The battles of BlightstoneRun round -based. Pushing and throwing objects or even opponents reminds me of the mech chess from. However, the battlefields are not the basis of the battlefields, it moves the characters free train around train. It is your turn of your own heroes and AI-controlled adversaries.
The demo on SteamPlace initial insights into the combat system and lets me swear when my wizard through Friendly FireMy forest runner's dog companion grills. At the same time, I am happy when I let a troll run into a trap or, through the throw of an explosive barrel, do two opponents on a prank.
By gathering experience, unlocking new skills and buying more powerful equipment, the possibilities of my party continue to grow. I hope that this gives the final version of Blightstone even more depth - in their basic features I already have a lot of fun.
The release of Blightstone is planned for 2025.
