If you caught my interview with AJ Paratore and Theresa Garcia, of Greenbrier Games, you heard both discussing an upcoming Kickstarter for what sounds like an interesting title: Heavy Steam. The title will focus on Victorian steampunk mechs battling it out across your table top. A key mechanic seems to be pre-plotting your actions so you have enough steam power flowing to various systems (movement, combat, etc) so you can effectively manage your clanking monstrosity of destruction. There aren’t a whole lot of details available about the Scott Kimball design at the moment but once I learn more I’ll surely pass it on!
From Greenbrier Games:
Heavy Steam is an exciting strategic Mech combat game set in an original steampunk universe. Travel to Victorian times as you pilot powerful Steam Titans into battle utilizing a variety of weapons and tactics, going either head-to-head or joining forces with a teammate for vicious team vs team mayhem!
Game systems use a unique blend of mechanisms that combine Eurogame sensibility with tactical simulation.
Play through a variety of focused scenarios or just battle it out until only the champion remains! With several game modes from which to choose, you always face another challenging battle ahead – will you take up the call?
