Carolina Ronchi of the indie game development team Holy Radish recently reached out to me (as folks sometimes do to share about a project they're working on). She wanted to tell me about how they had an upcoming game called, "Midgardr," that I might be interested in. With a demo launching on June 3rd, this game is, "a solo, turn-based city builder and card game played directly on a [virtual] board, where the player rules as a medieval administrator. From reading up on the game and looking at clips, it intrigues me as someone who has enjoyed city-building games, card games, and the like. I always love when creation takes different genres and finds clever ways to mash them up--just look at my recent review of, "Drop Duchy," and its blend of Tetris and wargaming for one example.
"Midgardr," has a storyline, political intrigue, and moral choices, along with the expected stuff like resource management and fiddling with your city's setup to make it function as productively as you can. Set for release during this year, I hope it is as good as it looks and successful enough to be ported to various consoles (my computer is far too old/lacking in fancy equipment for any games). The reaction of folks to the launch of the demo on June 3rd will be exciting to see!
