Blight of the Immortals!

This game came out a long time ago (5 whole years!) but recently underwent a major revision, adding a ton of stuff and changing the gameplay. A bunch of us played the earlier version and had a good time, and I've been playing the new version for a couple of weeks and it's a real solid little game. Easily one of the best phone-playable strategy games I've played.


What is?
  • Real-time strategy (but very slow paced)
  • Browser based (but optimized for phones and tablets)
  • Co-op (but with small incentives for performance)
  • Quasi-CCG (cards can be purchased but game currency/cards are awarded at a pretty good clip and you don't technically need any cards to play)
  • Fantasy Zombies (Fantasy Zombies!)

How do?
  1. Sign up for an account.
  2. Pick a map.
  3. Pick a race/starting position, the type (Human, Goblin, Orc, Dwarf, Elf, Troll) and availability of which will depend on the map.
  4. Build a deck of cards for that game, which can include cards for other races (which you should include based upon what other races it looks like you'll have access to, based on your starting position).
  5. Game fires when it's filled.
  6. Wipe out all the zombies or be wiped out.

Things.
  • Settlements produce gold and allow recruitment of the that race's base unit.
  • Cards are special units with special abilities (requiring mana), but still use population of the associated race to play, and must be played at a settlement of that race.

  • Monster lairs produce monsters, but not gold, and especially tough zombie monsters if taken.

  • Mana pools produce mana, and will generate a zombie boss if taken.

Often you win, and everybody get coins with which to buy new cards. Sometimes you lose (I think we're going to lose the game that screen shot is from), and you get the experience of being slowly overrun by an inexorable horde of the undead. Two kinds of fun!

    Is anybody else playing this? I've had enough fun that I sprung for a 3-month premium account, so I can host a PA game if there's interest.

    huh saw this thread and was like "I remember that name" and assumed someone bumped the old thread. I'll have to give the remake a look. It wasn't a bad little game before
