Your cells are acting viral. Repercussions are inevitable, interactions unavoidable, but controlling the outcome is a matter of mindful strategy in Birnam Wood Games' Pathogen, an upcoming turn-based boardgame-style title.
Pathogen is a game of strategic combat on a cellular level, where a single move can change everything... Inspired by the way a virus spreads through the human body (...)
In this competitive turn based strategy game (...) players compete either locally or online to gain control of the board. Actions have a cascading effect, causing a single move to change the outcome of the game and keep the play intense right up until the very end. A simple rule set allows for anyone to pick up and play, while the infinite depth of possible strategies will keep them coming back.
The infectious features:
• Endless Replayability: compete against computer AI or other players across thirty maps which play differently depending on the tactics used, and create your own maps with the Map Editor
• Easy to Play, Hard to Master Gameplay: intuitive visual mechanics make Pathogen simple for anyone to pick up play, while higher difficulty settings and deeper player vs player strategic options offer challenges for experienced strategy gamers
• Competitive Cross-platform Multiplayer: the best elements of traditional board games like Chess and Go combined with the intelligent matchmaking and ladder rankings of Starcraft, with cross-platform play between mobile and PC players
Expect the contagion to surface and spread by October.
