Tabletop miniatures battles can be a difficult pastime, but Moonbreaker is changing the old rules. His colorful models, which you can color digitally while listening to audiobooks full of lore from this world, aren’t embroiled in an endless war between the races, and they’re not all decorated with skulls. It’s a more fun, sweet, and accessible strategy game than tabletop war games.
Moonbreaker, developed by Unknown Worlds, the studio behind the popular underwater survival game Subnautica, is anything but dark. Game director Charlie Cleveland says the idea is to make it as welcoming as possible.
“We brought kids to Subnautica,” says Cleveland. “Now that we have all these different characters, we want to get everyone involved.”
As we saw in our first preview of Moonbreaker, you start each game with a captain and have more money called ashes to spend on additional soldiers and abilities each round, similar to how Hearthstone gives you more mana per turn. Play. . However, with Moonbreaker, you’ll be able to customize your army by coloring it however you see fit, just like you would a physical tabletop gang.
Cleveland says the team is making the process more convenient by making it accessible and drawing inspiration from easy-to-use creative apps like Procreate for iPad.
“The point of painting isn’t just to customize your units,” Cleveland tells us. “The purpose of painting is to enjoy painting. It’s a completely different way of looking at painting, isn’t it? You’re relaxed, you’re happy, you’re just distracted looking at the colors, you zoom in and out of those little details on your beautiful mini, you have really relaxing music.
You can also listen to one of the audiobooks included with Moonbreaker, which tells the story of your chosen captain, gradually nurturing through a series of different updates. The game is set in a universe created by sci-fi/fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, and Cleveland says it will be constantly expanding with new characters and cultures.
“We have stories for each captain, but you understand that the stories of all the captains are intertwined,” says Cleveland. These stories are tied into a fast-paced narrative that Cleveland says will play out in the audio dramas available in the game.
Moonbreaker is coming to Steam Early Access on September 29, and Unknown Worlds estimates this phase to last between one and two years – seasonal updates and expansions will appear regularly during this time and continue after launch.
