OrcQuest WarPath: Kickstarter läuft
Ein kooperatives Spiel rund um eine Gruppe Ork-Abenteurer, die eine Quest erfüllen müssen – jetzt als Brettspiel-Kickstarter.
Das Projekt:
« Gather around orcs. The times of being servants to the evil Lords is finished. We are no longer the punchbags of adventurers looking to become heroes. War is coming, and this time, it is humans who bring it to us. It is our turn to go on an adventure, spread mayhem and return as heroes! » – Gorbag the Ancient.
Orcquest Warpath is a co-operative board game from 1-4 players. You command a greenskin band who departs on an adventure through the lands and dungeons of their worst enemies, the humans. As with every time, unexpected events and some good brawls are on the menu for orcs.
Orcquest Warpath is a co-operative dungeon crawler. There is no Dungeon Master – who would want to be one anyway, specially when you get to be an Orc!
You command an orc band who is about to live some fantastic adventures. These adventures will take place in the form of single scenarios or a campaign mode, where you will get to enhance your characters and make them stronger as you go.
Das Universum:
In the lands that spread over the Great Continent, there are five major races: the humans, the barbarians, the elves, the dwarves and the orcs. Throughout the centuries, alliances have been created amongst four of the races. As for orcs, there was never a peaceful time, due to their unpredictable, belligerent attitude.
As time passed, the human kingdom of Istarra started expanding by assimilating other human kingdoms around it, but that never fulfilled the conquering thirst of their lords. Orcs live hidden in the immense forests of the kingdom, only showing up for pillaging villages, lay siege on holdfasts or hunt intruders out of the hoods.
Even though the Era of heroes has been gone for over a century, a new Era has been born: the conquest Era. Wishing to further extend its frontiers, the kingdom of Istarra is now trying to conquer the forests inhabited by the orcs.
Its throughout these troubling times for Orcs that you will live the adventures of OrcQuest WarPath…
The humans who populate Istarra are arrogant, and they think they’re the center of the world. Their multiple victorious conquests have allowed them to extend their kingdom and have given them a sense of invulnerability.
It’s under the banner of the Royal Rooster that the army of Istarra marches towards their enemies. Soldiers obsessed with discipline and resilient knights are at the center of this military force. They have been the perfect target for some slapping and kicking by Orcs, for a long time.
The army of Istarra is one of the first ones to have ever used powder weapons, which has allowed them to have destructive, lightning fast victories against their opponents. Each officer is a merciless being who inspires obedience among their ranks.
Even if there are no emblematic heroes left in Istarra, there is still a bit of the hero heritage left. Although the school of magic of the Great Royal Academy has been closed due to a lack of voluntary candidates, there is still Lothar, the Great Enchanter, descendant of the saviors of the realm, and known as the Hand of the King.
The royal zoo possesses a strange bestiary with creatures coming both from far away kingdoms and neighboring grounds. Huge fawns, titanic pachyderms, as well as bizarre water cows and different species of monkeys are a living proof of the kingdom´s victorious quests. The favorite animal is the Cockatrix, a remote cousin of the royal rooster emblem. She symbolizes the egocentric expression of the kingdom of Istarra. The rooster can transform itself into a destructive conquering monster.

Was für ein grandioses Projekt! Ich hatte es 3h nach Start auf KS entdeckt und musste zuschlagen.Es gibt in den Updates auch schon Figuren als Resinguss zu sehen, sowie eine angemalte. Echt schöne Minis und Bodenpläne, das Spielprinzip macht einen soliden Eindruck, könnte nächstes Jahr mein neuer Lieblingsdungeoncrawler werden.
Wir konnzen es auf der Spiel ’17 probespielen und konnten da die ersten Probegüsse von 3 der Minis sehen. Minis waren gut, das damalige Spielprinzip war spannend, aber ein wenig anti-klimatisch. Ich bin gespannt, ob sie das beibejalten und ein paar unserer Anmerkungen aufgenommen haben.
2 von 3 unserer Gruppe sind natürlich mit mem EB drin. Und da die Abwicklung des OrcQuest Kartenspiels auch OK war, mache ich mir hier auch da wenig Sorgen
Was meinst du mit antiklimatisch in dem Kontext?
Ich selbst bin noch etwas unschlüssig. Bei KI-gesteuerten Gegnern mag ich eigentlich lieber weniger Gegner,dafür aber mächtigere. Wie bei Sword&Sorcery bzw Gears of War.
Ich habe mir aktuelles Gameplay nicht durchgelesen (angesehen schon gar nicht, bin kein fan von Lets Play’s – hatte die entscheidung zu backen nach der Spiel getroffen und vom handling des Kartenspiel-KS abhängig gemacht), daher kann es sein, dass sich das geändert hatte. Aber es hatte einiges an Stealth Elementen, was ich für Orks ungewöhnlich finde.
