Jasco Games and Level 99 Games are joining forces to bring the classic video game hero Mega Man and his robotic enemies to the retro-style card game Pixel Tactics in 2017 with the Pixel Tactics Mega Man Blue Edition and Pixel Tactics Proto Man Red Edition.
Created by Brad Talton Jr. (BattleCON, Millennium Blades), Level 99’s 2012 release Pixel Tactics converts the Strategy Role Playing computer game into a fast-playing card game driven by special character abilities.
Now Jasco Games is bringing the characters from the video game Mega Man to the game. Each of the two versions of the game, Mega Man Blue Edition and Proto Man Red Edition includes 28 different characters from the Mega Man series. Each boxed set can be used on its own or combined with other Pixel Tactics games as an expansion. The 56-card sets include everything needed for two players to play. MSRP has not been announced.Jasco funded the game’s production with a successful Kickstarter campaign which collected $121,364 in pledged support from 1,974 backers (an average of $61.48 per backer). Backer fulfillment is planned for July 2017, with a general release into the trade in time for Gen Con.
