Jeff’s note: So far the Steam reviews are overwhelmingly negative for the releaseso I would recommend keeping an eye on this to see if the bugs get ironed out before making a purchase.
About the game:
GLORY ONLY BELONGS TO THE FEARLESS
Created by acclaimed designer Eric Lang (Rising Sun, Arcadia Quest, Chaos in the Old World), Blood Rage is the digital adaptation of the hit strategy board game where the only strategy is to cower from combat.
In Blood Rage, you lead a proud Viking clan in their final fight for glory and the right of passage to Valhalla before the world finally comes to its fiery conclusion.
In these twilight hours, at the beginning of each of the three age, the Norse gods bestow gifts to each Viking clan.
Tyr, Odin, Loki, Frigga, Thor, Heimdall – Drafting gifts from a god will determine the strategy you want to implement. You will have to choose your cards wisely or deprive your opponents of precious gifts.
Seek glory through victory in battle, occupy regions surrounding Yggdrasil, reinforce your clans’ resources by pillaging, take command of mythical Norse creatures, or sacrifice your troops on purpose to send them to Valhalla. They are many strategies to earn your place beside Odin.
Plan your age accordingly but be ready to adapt to your opponents’ choices. Remember, life is fleeting but glory is eternal!
Earning your place to Valhalla in single-player mode is glorious. Everlasting triumph, however, can only be achieved by reaching the top of the leaderboard in ranked mode.
