Harakiri: Blades of Honor

Players take on the roles of individual heroes in a cooperative, multi-campaign adventure set in a dark, post-war Japan ruled by a tyrannical shogun. Each player selects a character with a unique background, skill tree and personal board, then travel an evolving map, visit towns and shrines, trade, and pursue branching story and personal missions that react to successes and failures. Combat and progression use dice and skill systems: players choose attack styles, manage stamina and kamic energy, trigger powerful but costly abilities, and face folklore creatures whose encounters can escalate based on prior choices. Campaign decisions and character development shape future scenarios and narrative outcomes.

Demo play today in DAU Barcelona with Synergic Games. I can only say the game is absolutely great! It's better than everything I was able to expect. The art is awesome. The mechanics are really cool and it's quite easy to get them. But it looks like when you'll have the complete game it will be easy and complex at one. And I don't think there'll be anyone who thinks that is a plain game. Everything is thought and carefully implemented in the game dynamics. Minis are amazing. And the "honorwash" (you can read "sundrop" ;p )is fantastic. I'm convinced now on my decision to take it as I won't be able to paint the minis. And with that addon my game will look amazing in my table. And it'll feel complete as it deserves such a great game to be played. So the summary is that is a great game which I think will be high rated when people will get it home. For the high quality of components, the much amount of time put in to it to have it's mechanics polished and of course the story I'm expecting from an author like David Velasco.

Le he bajado al 8, la cantidad enorme de erratas y ciertos momentos narrativos, empañan la experiencia un poco, creemos que le falta testeo y una buena revisión, pero es un gran juego y por ello entré en la expansión. Diversión 4/5 · Interacción 4/5 · Atractivo 5/5 · Originalidad 4/5 · Rejugabilidad 3/5 · Accesibilidad 3/5
