Chronicle X, Archon Studio’s new board game on Kickstarter is absolutely destroying it in terms of funding. The pledge total for the campaign is over $350,000, which means they have demolished like 39 stretch goals. Chronicle X's kickstarter is where stretch goals go to die, and they die harder than Hans Gruber.
Archon Studio has got so much extra money, so much more money than they initially needed, that they now have new item, mission and base cards that just got unlocked like a wallet with a weak chastity belt, not to mention (and you know I'm gonna mention it anyways) they've unlocked that solo/cooperative mode you've allllllll been clamoring for. But don't worry! If you're thinking, "Oh man! I could have given them some of my money too, even though they got way more than they really initially needed!", you don't need to fret. You can unlock more of their stretch goals. You know you gotta get that Chronicle X. You want that Chron X action. You're sitting there starving, wallet full of money and Chronicle X is like the only food on the planet. Don't be greedy. Just give em that money. And. Chow. Down.
Now, you may be saying "I have no idea what Chronicle X even is, dude."
Well, "dude", Chronicle X is a 2-7 player tactical board game featuring 34 ultra-detailed Unicast miniatures. What, you thought they were gonna come at you weak with Duocast? Suck an egg, bro. Unicast, nuff said.
The game plays out with one player taking on the role of the dreaded Overmind, high leader of an army of alien invaders, while the remaining players field members of Chronicle X, a diverse group of skilled individuals determined to save the Earth. The Chronicle X players use raw materials they earn from missions to upgrade their base, unlocking new passives and abilities as well as allowing them to craft superior weapons and equipment. Meanwhile, the strength of the Overmind player’s forces grows across the world as the campaign progresses, allowing them to field more powerful and deadly alien soldiers and creatures.
The story of Chronicle X begins after humanity has lost control of the Earth. The Grays, an alien species of spies and assassins, crippled the world’s governments, militaries and infrastructure before striking a decisive blow in the form of a full-scale invasion across the planet. All that remains to challenge the Grays is a small group of soldiers, scientists and terrorists known as Chronicle X. Can Chronicle X push back this alien onslaught and save humanity, or will the Grays’ tighten their grasp and Earth be lost forever?
Get that dough out. It's time to crit some stretch goals. Don't do it for you. Do it for the em-effin Xoldiers.
