- Feralis: Obscure Land – Core Game (Kickstarter Edition)
- All unlocked stretch goals!
Feralis is a dark and brutal plane of existence, populated by numerous tribal races and civilizations in continuous tension between them, under the influence of mysterious and feared archaic deities the Aesyr. The card game Feralis calls the player to impersonate one of these cryptic and extraordinary gods. The Aesyr can make arrangements or dominate creatures that inhabit Feralis and force them into battle against other gods. Power, glory, boredom, it is not clear why these eternal gods continue to confront and murder each other, but no one has the memory of a time when the world of Feralis was not accompanied by the incessant rhythm of the colossal armies they summoned.
Feralis is a deck construction card game for battles 1vs1, 2vs2 and solo. The ultimate goal is to kill your opponents, to do so you have to recall your creaturs, mutate them, and use them to slay the creatures that stand in the opponent’s area or go directly to the head of their leader.
In Feralis, the players have a deck of creatures, a Aesyr that impersonates, and a series of Godlike Skills assigned to the god. The creature cards have 2 sides, a “Call” side and an “Awakening” one. To put them on the battlefield you have to wait for their waiting cost in turns. Once your creatures on the “Call” side are defeated they will come back in the “Awakening” form. You can also play them directly in the “Awakening” form but you will miss the opportunity to see their “Call” form.
Your main resource is time, you have to put the creature at the right moment to create a powerful combo between your creature. You can reduce the time cost with a limited resource the Catalyst. You have a short amount that you can use also during your opponent’s turn to unlock your creature in the Incubator area. You can support your creatures with your Godlike skills, powerful events that need time to be ready but they can turn the tide of battle. This Skills will recharge once used. Use all these resources wisely and have no mercy, your opponents will not.

Competitive card game similar to magic the gathering with the core mechanic being "charge" creatures and spells you want to play and wait turns until you can actually play them/put them on the battlefield Parts that I like: - Variability You can choose from 6 different factions (4 with the core, cards can be mixed between factions), 5 different Aesyr (the representation of the player on the battlefield) and tons of different spells. Also, each creature has two different "forms" to be played. You can have the same deck and try different Aesyr and different spell and vice versa, so the core box itself is gives you a lot of choices on how to play the deck - Gameplay Each spell has a time counter that decreases by one every turn and then can be played but it can be manipulated with catalysts, spell or Aesyr power, making the game way more dynamic than it looks (lots magic the gathering instant pile style plays during the games I payed so far) - Art style, world background Very dark-ish fantasy world and all the creatures and the factions have different/preferred mechanics/tactics -easy and fast setup, fast games, relatively small box -Fun for newcomers of card games too Parts I don't like - card layout/colors The colors are not that saturated so it's hard to understand at glance what kind of creature is on the field. After some games of course it's easier to remember. - similar artworks for the cards This is very neat picking, but some of the creatures in the same deck looks too similar in my opinion. Overall a very fun and solid (and as far as I experienced, balanced) card game that I will play for a long time Bravi!! 8
