The game features high quality miniatures and has players take the role of one of five heroes who are working together to defeat the Darkness. Each hero has a different skill set represented by a deck of cards. Players create their own stories through traps, trials, and tests, crafting unique myths with their tales. The game is for 2 – 5 players, ages 12 and up, and plays in 120 minutes. MSRP on the base game is $90.00.
The box contains 5 hero boards, 1 Darkness board, 10 double-sided realm tiles, 41 plastic miniatures, 15 dice, 300+ cards, 300+ tokens, and a rulebook. The game is expandable through additional miniatures packs (MSRP $20.00-$25.00), and there are plans to release quest and item card decks, and an alternate game mode.
The company is currently running another Kickstarter to fund MERCS: Recon, a stand-alone game set in its MERCS universe. The game has netted $380,000 from over 2,250 backers as of this writing, and the project will be funded on April 18th.
