Beat Back the Tide of Colonialism This Summer with ‘Spirit Island’

Feb 4, 2017

Following a successful Kickstarter run, Greater Than Games is preparing to release Spirit Island. In the game, one to four players represent elemental nature spirits who will cooperate together to save their tiny island from encroaching settlers. The first waves of invaders must be stopped before they get a foothold on the new world! Are you up to the task?

Spirit Island is set for a Q3 release and will carry an MSRP of $49.95.

From GTG:

In the most distant reaches of the world, magic still exists, embodied by spirits of the land, of the sky, and of every natural thing. As the great powers of Europe stretch their colonial empires further and further, they will inevitably lay claim to a place where spirits still hold power – and when they do, the land itself will fight back alongside the islanders who live there.

Spirit Island is a cooperative, settler-destruction strategy game for 1 to 4 players designed by R. Eric Reuss and set in an alternate-history world around A.D. 1700. Players are different spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Work with your fellow spirits and the native islanders to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this strategic area-control game.
