Perils, banes and bandits hide around every corner and a spreading corruption known as the Rot leaves no creature untouched. However the 2D artwork is gorgeous and the in-game graphics and animations are nice.Armello is a grand swashbuckling adventure combining three styles of play The deep tactics of card games, the rich strategy of tabletop board games, and the adventure of fantastical RPGs.Īs a hero from one of Armello's Great Clans, you'll quest, scheme, hire agents, explore, vanquish monsters, cast spells and face off against other players, with one ultimate goal in mind becoming King or Queen of Armello! The Kingdom of Armello is as dangerous as it is beautiful.

I love board games but there are many other board games, both physical and digital, that are better and cheaper than this one. In general it is just rather shallow, dull and repetitive. Most of your time is spent waiting for the other players to take their turns, more so even than most other board games thanks to all of the neutral units taking their turns. Quests and encounters consist of a random die roll. Meaningful decisions don't really come up, each player will tend to do their own thing, clicking on the next 'quest' and hoping to randomly have the most prestige when the game ends. Winning or losing is almost entirely based on luck. However, killing or curing the king hardly ever happens as you have to be incredibly lucky for either to be feasible, so pretty much every time the game will run out of turns and the player who happens to have the highest prestige wins. Armello has some similarities to Talisman, in that a way to win is in the middle of the board, but you need to improve your character's stats and gather useful equipment before you have any chance at it.

Great artwork but a disappointing board game.
