FacebookTwitterGoogle+Share

Boomzap’s multiplayer strategy game adds a new playable faction, the Dwarves, through a DLC on Steam and an update on the App Store

October 17, 2016, Singapore – After a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, Boomzap Entertainment’s cross-platform strategy game Legends of Callasia launches its first expansion, The Stoneborne, which centers on a new playable faction, the Dwarves.

Inspired by classic turn-based strategy games like Civilization, Heroes of Might & Magic, and Risk, Legends of Callasia is a world conquest game with an original simultaneous gameplay mechanic where players can plan and resolve their turns all at the same time. Easy to pick up and learn, the game has a classic tabletop feel, allowing players to build and control heroes and armies, build castles and cities, and control territories and kingdoms.

The Stoneborne expansion follows the Dwarves back into the Great Dark, and will feature maps that are set underground, which follow new seasons. It includes a new set of campaigns, a total of 11 new playable heroes, improved Dwarf units, more cards, 20 additional maps, and more exciting content. It also introduces a new enemy faction, the Cavespawn.

Download Legends of Callasia: The Stoneborne from the App Store or on Steam for PC and Mac at $7.99 USD. The base game is required to purchase the expansion. Pay once in any of these stores and you can get the game on all platforms. A demo version with unlimited multiplayer playtime can be downloaded for free. An Android version is also in development. More details available at legends.boomzap.com.

Decorated Maps, Cavespawn Heroes, and UberDwarf WIPs

Hey Callasians!

Last day to submit WIPs for the Callasia Art Challenge is today, September 23! Speaking of art, we’re making progress on The Stoneborne DLC and we’d like you to show you the WIPs.

As of this week, all maps for the 10 campaigns are fully decorated! The levels themselves still need some balancing (as can be seen in our playtest on Twitch), but we’ve added decals depending on the terrain types.

We’d also like to introduce one of the new Cavespawn heroes.

As for the Stoneborne faction, we are also working on a new hero based on the likeness of our UberDwarf backer.

Check out the WIP from the initial sketch and the photo reference in the video.

So that’s it so far. To get more frequent updates, you can drop by our Discord and Twitchchannels. We’re also up to the challenge if you’d like to play ranked games with us for the tournament. Full mechanics and list of prizes here: http://legends.boomzap.com/contests

Cavespawn Units Preview and Progress Report

How’s it going, everyone? Since we launched on the App Store last week, we’ve been getting some new players on iOS, and a lot of ranked matches have been happening due to the tournament!

Thought we’d share with you some progress on the Stoneborne DLC. During the Kickstarter, we only shared black-and-white sketches of the Cavespawn. But now, we are ready to show you the units in their full color!

Cavespawn Units

From left to right:

  • Vermins – a bunch of huge, nasty looking rats
  • Trogs – blind, big-eyed, semi-reptilian creatures who carry javelins
  • Arachians – spider-centaurs with crossbows
  • Megapedes – giant, fanged centipedes
  • Stalkers – huge, pointy-looking things
  • Giant Slugs – the “dragon” unit of the Cavespawns

Meanwhile, we are almost done with the first playable versions of the Stoneborne campaigns. All ten levels still need to be playtested (repeatedly) and adjusted to make sure they are fun and well-balanced. Story and dialogues are also being worked on. We’re also starting to decorate the maps with the new decals, and working with some of the backers for their customized in-game rewards (maps and heroes). Still lots of work to be done, but we’re getting there!

While waiting for the DLC, we hope we’ll see you in the multiplayer lobby for the tournament. We’re also still accepting submissions for the art challenge. Mechanics here:http://legends.boomzap.com/contests

As usual, feel free to chat us up on Discord and Twitch!
