Chaos Reborn, the card battling meets wargaming title from XCOM designer Julian Gollop, is getting a new update that adds a number of fresh spells and tactics.
The Air Elemental is a neutral flying creature that can use its attack to push enemies away, knocking them into pits. The Meteor Shower rains down, you guessed it, a shower of molten rock from the sky. Players will see that the spell has been cast but not where it will take effect until it actually fires on the following turn, leading to an element of bluffing. The Crystal Wall is a lawful growth spell that extends four spaces away from the casting wizard, giving both defensive and offensive options.
Here’s the full breakdown from Snapshot Games:
Air Elemental: A flying, neutral creature which has a unique push attack. When you attack with the Air Elemental it can push any surrounding enemy away. If it falls off the edge of the terrain it will plummet to its doom.
Meteor Shower: Rains down a series of meteors at any location. The meteors do not arrive on the turn cast, but in your following turn. Other players know you have cast the spell, but not where it will land. This spell adds an exciting element of bluff and prediction.
Crystal Wall: A lawful growth spell that can be used offensively and defensively in various ways. A crystal growth is summoned extending four hexes directly away from the casting wizard. Creatures and wizards can be trapped in the wall, but they also get a defensive benefit from it.
Chaos Reborn came out of Early Access last October. In celebration of the new update, it’s currently got a 50% discount on Steam, bringing the price of admission down to $9.99.
