Armello Releases on PS4, PC

Today Armello, the Kickstarter-funded fantasy digital board game from League of Geeks, is available for PlayStation 4, Windows, Mac and Linux. Check out the trailer below.

The final release build improves upon the 93% positively-rated Early Access version by increasing the number of playable characters from four to eight, adding a winter-themed tile set, overhauling the graphics while maintaining the game’s beautiful art style and revamping multiplayer matchmaking.

Armello takes players to a vibrant magical world tinged with darkness where they must challenge the insane lion king for the throne before the kingdom falls into ruin.  After choosing a character from one of four animal clans, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, gamers quest and fight for the crown as they brave dangerous perils, the king’s guards, evil banes and each other.

Armello allows for cooperation between players but these shaky and unreliable alliances are capable of falling apart at a second’s notice, making other power-hungry characters potentially just as dangerous as the zealous royal guards or the evil banes spawned by Rot.

Game Features

  • Pick-up-and-play simplicity while maintaining the depth of turn-based strategy
  • Experience a new procedurally-generated board every match
  • Choose from eight playable characters, each with their own unique play styles

“When we first had the crazy idea to blend the deep strategy and experience of tabletop gaming with the stunning visuals and rich, immersive experience that digital affords, we could never have imagined how far that idea would take us,” said Trent Kusters, founder and director, League of Geeks. “After years of dedicated hard work and with the help of an outstanding in-game community, Armello has reached a level of polish and sophistication that makes us very proud to formally release it as the very first game from League of Geeks.”

Armello can be purchased on Steam and PlayStation 4 for $19.99 USD. Playstation Plus members can pick up Armello with 30% off for the first two weeks after launch. The game is available in 13 different languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese.
