Thanks to David for the opportunity to join the LnL family. Our game designers are pumped!
Heroes of the Colosseum is the upcoming game that will let players not only fight in the arena, as one of nine different gladiator types, but race chariots head to head.
On the gladiator side, you build your gladiator using three shared Attributes - Savvy, Strength, and Speed. These determine how well you can fight, how fast you are when trying to gain a position to attack, and how much damage you can take. We also use Signatures - traits that help to personalize your character - as well as a variety of fighting styles.
When you're finished, you'll have a unique gladiator that can be used over and over.
We have a way to increase your Attributes as you gain victories. What's the ultimate goal? To reach the Colosseum and freedom!
Heroes of the Colosseum has a light bookkeeping campaign system and a way to generate Non-Player Gladiators that makes the game ideal for solo or same side play. Can you play head to head against your friends? You bet you can and either way makes for exciting games, where no two games will ever be the same.
Now let's talk chariot racing. What makes our racing unique is how we move around the oval. Where most games have each chariot moving around the track, resulting in them becoming strung out and effectively out of the race, we use the Pack mechanic.
We track each chariot in the Pack in relationship to each other. This mean that players are always in the race. It's common for a chariot to be bashed into the wall by an opponent and forced backwards while the following chariots maneuver past it. With the pack mechanic, your'e never out of the race...well at least until someone wrecks you.
Like the gladiator side of the game, we've use similar mechanics to make your drivers and teams unique. perfect for one off games or a campaign.
David and I have talkes about bringing more THW games over to LnL and we're looking forward to it. Want to help? Go on over to the THW website and take a look around. Tell us what interests you and this will help us to produce the games you want. Thanks for the help and remember ...just play the game!
