Lands Of Ruin Is Now Live On Kickstarter LAST 24HRS

Lands Of Ruin is now live on Kickstarter

It will be running for the next 18 days

I have been following this one closely as I am liking the idea of the tablet taking care of the mundane tasks during gameplay, I have downloaded the "beta" version of the command app and it seems fairly easy to use and navigate around it. I have not yet tried a full 2 player game yet, but will hopefully sometime this week.

The renders of the miniatures look outstanding especially the Baleans, I could imagine they would be good for a number of games systems outside of Lands Of Ruin, as would the Reclaimers

Just like you could use the Lands Of Ruin miniatures with other systems, you can use any mini you own already and make your own heroes and cohorts

There are a variety of pledges on offer, ranging from just £17EB/£19 Digital Pack – £80EB/£95 XL Miniatures Pack – £450 Lifetime Benefactor, with a few pledges inbetween.

"Lands of Ruin is a post-apocalypse tabletop wargame. However, it is not just another run-of-the-mill clone of every other game on the market. This next generation tabletop game utilises the recent advances in mobile technology to bring a more realistic, faster paced, and deeper gaming experience to the already mature tabletop wargaming genre."*


"The battlefield is not empty. Players' tribes confront remnants of the final war in the form of automated drones, decaying battle mechs still executing their wartime orders, and hordes of infected dead, all controlled by the companion app's A.I."*

"Previously in wargaming, hidden characters and secret actions were not so hidden or secret. Minis had to be placed on the tabletop, and secret actions declared in order to keep things fair. LoR allows players to have hidden characters in play without their opponents knowing they are there, as well as perform actions that the opponent doesn't know about. Imagine a hidden sniper waiting to ambush the opponent. This is all tracked and kept fair through the Command Console tablet app."*

"Characters gain experience and skills as well as obtain new equipment during battles."*

"In Lands of Ruin, the wastelands are populated by tribes. These unique and diverse cultures represent the different factions or alignments players join when they play the game. Each tribe has its own beliefs and goals, as well as fighting style and technologies."*

"Lands of Ruin is fully playable with just two heroes and their cohorts. However, adding more heroes to your tribe adds variety to the gameplay."*

Huh. The 'ap' is not compatible with my Samsung GT-N8013 tablet.

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

They have added a second digital pack to pledges of Miniature pack XL which can be gifted to someone, basically making it a ultimate 2 player starter set

Single hero packs are now available as an add-on for £18.GBP

The packs contain 1x hero and 3x cohorts

It's not even four years old. I've not met an 'ap' yet it won't run. Until now.

Still, thanks for following up on this. Hope they can code for compatibility. It will only help them down the line.

No worries, il chase them up about it nearer the end of the campaign, give them a bit of time to figure it out!

In the latest blog posts they go into detail on the apps UI and the artwork of Lands Of Ruin from concept to what we see today.

There is also a final production picture of Malcibur and his cohorts

"We have been working on the Lands of Ruin Command Console app for the last 3 years. The current User Interface is a result of multiple iterations often starting from the scratch."

They have now been funded with 8 days left to reach the first stretch goal of a new tribe called the "Outlanders".

They have also updated the app on Google Play to support Android 4.0+, so it will work on the older devices.
