The Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund a new rogue-lite board game inspired by Dead Cells hit its target within 13 minutes, raising almost £400,000 more than its £29,764 target.
The board game – which can be played solo or with up to four players – was first unveiled back in March, and has been backed by over 5500 people.
“We can tell that the designers had played Dead Cells and that they weren’t interested in simply doing a carbon copy,” The Motion Twin team and Arthur Décamp, Dead Cells Game Director says of the project. “They had thought deeply about how to best adapt Dead Cells into board game format. The overarching principles of the game have been preserved (the energy, the visceral nature of combats, and the build options) without altering the experience expected for a modern board game.
