We just launched a Kickstarter for the solo co-op Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics wargame set in the Roman empire vs the forces of the Cthulhu mythos.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/cohors-cthulhu-tactics-adventure-wargame/
Summon heroes from across the Roman Empire to fight alone or with allies against the eldritch forces of the outer gods. Carve your way through the mist-shrouded Germanic forests, encountering strange ruins, and monstrous enemies at every turn. Can your heroes keep your soldiers together against the unfathomable hordes or will their sanity shatter as quickly as their ranks? Your enemy, the malevolent Outer God Mendaxius will match the wits of your mightiest heroes and the size of your legions, ensuring you always face a vile, and relentless foe.
Are you motivated by love, glory, honor or power? Will you stay and face insurmountable odds or retreat to fight another day? Every decision is in your hands, and each one will have repercussions… for good or ill. Follow a branching story of your heroes, from a ragtag band of desperate survivors to the charismatic leaders of a powerful Roman legion and its allies!
Cohors Cthulhu: Tactics is a brand new horror-themed miniatures game set in the Cohors Cthulhu universe during the height of Imperial Rome. You begin your heroic journey as one of a handful of survivors of an ambush, desperately trying to escape the Mythos-ridden mists of a Germanic forest.
Over the course of the Prologue and three procedurally generating narrative Acts, you will tell the branching story of your heroes, from a ragtag band of desperate survivors to the charismatic leaders of a powerful legion and its allies! Unlock side quests to discover new storylines, allies, creatures, character options, Atlantean Armories and Hyperborean powers!
The three-act structure breaks up the rules and the size of the game so you don’t have to buy or learn everything at once, and lets you build your miniatures collection and scenics bit by bit based on your preferences and choices.
Do you want to focus on a few heroes with a skirmish-scale game? Stick with Act 1. Ready to lead some small units and watch them grow? Dive into Act 2 and try the Warband scale. When you’re ready for the ultimate challenge, prepare yourself for the Rank & Flank tactics of Act 3 as you’ll face eldritch horrors and the full power of the Outer Gods. Only the might of the Roman legion and your Germanic allies, powerful heroes, clever tactics, and the will of the gods will seize the day!
