After a short soft launch in certain territories, Wizkids/NECA have officially released (worldwide) their iPad-only digital version of the popular table top, monster-battling game “Quarriors!” by Mike Elliot and Eric M. Lang.
Instead of deck building, in Quarriors!, utilizes a unique game mechanic in which players build up a bag of dice which are utilized in battles against opponents in an attempt to reach 20 Glory points first.
As a Quarrior! – a mighty mystical warrior – only you have the power to capture dangerous Quarry from the untamed wilds! But your rivals plot against you! They will send their own Creatures and Spells to destroy your Quarry before you can deliver them to Empress Quiana and claim your reward! Summon your Creatures and protect them from your foes and you will earn Glory for yourself. The first player to earn enough Glory will be hailed as the Champion of the Empress. Deck building strategy without the shuffling! Quarriors! offers single-player and 2 to 4 player online and offline multiplayer and Pass-n-Play action!
As a complete newbie to the game I’ve found there is a bit of a learning curve as I try to understand the strategy and gameplay, but i am enjoying my time with it thus far. We should have a full review soon from our resident board gaming aficionado JP (who’s had some experience with the tabletop version as well).
Check a sampling of the gameplay in the launch trailer below.
