‘Adventure Island’ to Premiere at Spiel in Essen This Week

Oct 23, 2018

Pegasus Spiele has a line up of five titles making their debuts at Spiel this week and one which has particularly caught my eye is Adventure Island. In the game, the players will work together to survive being shipwrecked on a deserted (or maybe not so deserted) island. What make this an interesting looking title is the legacy style gameplay as the story will stretch over a series of sessions. Adventure Island is for two to five players, ages 10+, plays in 45 to 90 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $39.99. I’m guessing we should see this here in North America before the end of the year.

From Pegasus Spiele:

It could have been so great! A nice, comfortable journey on a luxurious ship…

Unfortunately, your ship got hit by a storm on the way to India and sank. With your last bit of strength and a huge amount of luck, you made it to the banks of a desert island. Through a miracle, you are not hurt, but you are exhausted and disheartened. How will you escape from this unfamiliar desert island? Or maybe the island is not so deserted after all? As a group of shipwrecked passengers, you need to survive, explore the island, and find a way home.

Adventure Island tells a continuous story in multiple parts. Players have to work together to survive. Their decisions influence the development of the story and add new elements to the game. Achievements reached throughout the game unlock permanent bonuses. With so much to explore and no destruction of components, Adventure Island can be played over and over again.
