GAMA Trade Show 2014: Greenbrier Games Reveals ‘Heavy Steam’ Kickstarter on the Horizon

Mar 22, 2014

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?
