Gnosis Conflict Lands On Kickstarter
Gnosis Conflict, a 2-4 player board game set in a dystopian near-future where the governments and corporations vie for control over downed pieces of extra-terrestrial probes, salvaged for their technology and kept secret from the public, has launched its Kickstarter campaign. The resulting technological arms race has spawned ruthless collection teams sent out into the field to claim their prize and dispose of any who get in their way. Players take control of one of four factions’ collections team and battle other teams for control of salvage on the board.
Gnosis Conflict is set to have a number of features upon its release, including:
- Low Barrier to Entry – Strategy games are known for a high barrier to entry in terms of both skill and cost. Gnosis Conflict is aimed at novices to the genre with a simplified rules set, quick combat resolution and respawn mechanics for units allowing players to recover from mistakes. The game is self-contained, so there’s no need to sink hundreds of dollars into expensive miniatures either.
- Depth of Gameplay – Veterans of the strategy game genre will find that each faction has a different play style with a special ability unique to them. Players field a diverse array of units, no generic drones sent into battle but dozens of units to choose from with distinct flavor and abilities. The playing field is constructed by the players not knowing where their base will be bringing a level of strategy to the game before it even begins as players must consider what advantages they risk giving away.
- No 2 Games Play the Same – Gnosis Conflict features 2 different game types to allow for a range of challenge emphasizing raw combat tactics or area control. Each faction comes with several units and players choosing which few of them to field for a given game. A customizable deck of upgrades allows players to further tailor their strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, the board is constructed by the players from a large assortment of terrain.
So far, the game has been reviewed by several sites and has been praised for its quality. You can find Gnosis Conflict on Kickstarter here.
