Greenbrier Games has announced a deal with Zephyr Workshop to produce A.E.G.I.S. – Combining Robot Strategy Game

Inspired by robot manga and anime, A.E.G.I.S. is a strategy game of battles between teams of robots.  The robots can fight individually, or they can combine together Voltron-style into gigantic fighting robots.  Players can put together their own custom teams using combinations of five different robot classes.  Robots that combine together become more powerful and open up new tactical options, but they must share a pool of energy, forcing players to carefully manage their resources to get the maximum benefit.

Zephyr Workshop has produced a small run of the game and has been presenting it at conventions for a while as well as offering offered a print-and-play version.  Now Greenbrier will put it into full production and handle distribution, following a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project, which it plans to launch soon.

A.E.G.I.S. is designed for 2 to 4 players, ages 12 and up, and plays in about half an hour.  MSRP is $49.95.

Greenbrier recently announced the acquisition of another independently developed game, Grimslingers (see “New Sci-fi/Fantasy Western Game From Greenbrier”).
