In the near future, the mega-corporations of the military-industrial complex have invested trillions developing cybernetically enhanced clone soldiers for off-world exploration. Seeking to build robust teams for future missions — and more importantly, to land lucrative government contracts — they have created special training islands. On these islands, they are able to simulate all of the deadly conditions their soldiers may face on remote planets.
To fund these expensive programs and the military-grade innovations built into their test subjects, the arms manufacturers have teamed up with media moguls to create and promote broadcast competitions live from the island’s training grounds. Thus was born “RELOAD”, the biggest TV show on the planet, with the most charismatic and capable subjects competing in front of millions of avid viewers to win fame for themselves and fortunes for their creators.
In Reload, you get to engage in this battle-royale experience thanks to an innovative action dice system that offers fast-paced play and the freedom to explore the island while fighting for fame.

Ladies & gentlemen, genetically enhanced & cybernetically modified friends & fanatics: TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT.
And now, after what feels like ages of waiting, we bring you this season of Reload! The world will be watching as a new cast of contestants take to the battlefield alongside some familiar fan favorites.
Forget everything you think you knew about Reload. This season we bring you a brand new way to play: Capture the Flag!
In this new game mode, teams of players compete on specially designed maps to win the love of the crowd not only through the usual crowd-pleasing ways but also through capturing the other team’s flag and returning it to their HQ!

Juego divertido que recuerda mucho a videojuegos FPS o Battle Royal, especialmente a Fortnite. La primera partida es un caos por toda la iconografía y la ausencia de texto en las cartas (algunas cartas es imposible saber 100% como se ejecutan). El reglamento en castellano tiene una regla para lanzarse en paracaídas totalmente distinta a la correcta, por lo que es imprescindible revisarla con el reglamento en inglés. Espero que publiquen un PDF con la revisión de las reglas, un extenso FAQ y nuevas y más extendidas referencias para la iconografía.

I backed this Kickstarter and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the game. The artwork is neat, the characters are unique (although I wish there were more of them), and the gameplay is fun. Reload feels like Fortnite in a board game; gathering weapons, tactics, supply drops etc.

This game hits a weak spot for me. Smaller production, niche theme, duo of new designers from a publisher that has been hit and miss for me. But it does what it sets out to do so well, you can really replicate a battle royale in board game form with quick turns, easy rules -except combat-, really joyful production (yes the minis could be better but overall look cool and interesting). One of the few cases in which a KS does not deliver a unfocussed, sprawling, multiple boxes mess but gives you a game -slightly unpolished in terms of rulebook- that feels bigger than the sum of its parts and that packs a huge punch in a small foot print. I'll play this when I don't have the time or the group to play Black Rose Wars, Guards of Atlantis or other Battle Royal/MOBA style of games.
