Break! GCT Studios - Rise of the Kage Kickstarter

The Rise of the Kage Kickstarter is now live:

In a game of Rise of the Kage, 2-4 players can choose to play as the ninja of the shadow wind clan. Deadly warriors, tasked with a variety of missions all ultimately focussed upon taking down the Takashi clan, the Jwar Isles' ruling family. Or you can choose those that have sworn their lives to protect their Daimyo; the brave guards of the Prefecture of Ryu.
The ninja squad play cooperatively discovering weapons from shuriken to poisoned rice, dispatching guards as they seek to complete their goals.
The guard boss employs all the resources at hand to bring their deadly foe to a halt. If they can hold them off until sunrise or raise the alarm then all will be safe for another night.
Ninja or guards, players face difficult decisions. Do the ninja recklessly force their way through their opponents whilst undoubtedly raising the alarm level, go too slowly and stealthily though and they face losing the advantage that night brings, dawn ultimately bringing an un-reckonable force down upon them. Do the guards throw themselves in the way of their more deadly rivals or strategically attempt to slow them down? Rise of the Kage offers a great blend of sneaky skills and gobsmacking kills.

  1. Interesting looking game but price points are too high. Seems like the new KS buy in price is $100 to $150 for games that end up being made available for $35 a few months after launch. And before I get shouted down here ... just look at Sedition Wars ... you can find it all over the internet for like 20-30 bucks. I went in on that KS big and yes I got lots of cool stuff ... but had I known it was going to be fire sale dumped by every online retailer 6 months after launch (and keep in mind that it was like 8 months past its projected release date anyway) I'd have taken a pass on it. I hope these guys succeed and defy my expectations, I'll happily give them my money if so ... otherwise I'm out on this one and most KS projects anymore ... as they just never seem to deliver as promised ...
