Description

Battle the likes of sozzled bearbearians and nuke-addled snotwolves to protect our glowing green world from the sweaty hands of the Uberlich! My tale involves the same core deck building mechanics as Meteorfall: Journeys and the same cast of overly optimistic heroes, but expands the ‘swipe’ mechanic into a dynamic grid based system. This means more depth and longevity – our heroes will have to choose perks to complement their deck-building strategy and carefully manage the board if they wish to triumph. Krumit’s Tale also expands the magic-infused lore and world-building and adds animated combat, voice acting, a plethora of new items and abilities and will also launch on PCs/Steam as well as mobile devices.

History

Development

The development of Krumit's Tale started in the months after the release of Meteorfall: Journey. The team was interested in building out the fantastic world of Meteorfall, and set out to create a new game in the same universe. Krumit's Tale was originally supposed to be a smaller stepping stone to another game concept the team had come up with, but it quickly blossomed into a more ambitious project, with far more content and production values than Meteorfall: Journeys.

Studio Synopsis

Slothwerks was created by Eric Farraro, whose debut game, Meteorfall: Journeys, released in 2017 with the help of Evgeny Viitman (art) and Craig Barnes (audio) and would go on to become a Google Play Editor’s Choice, holds a 95 score and the title of ‘#1 Best iOS Game of 2018’ on Metacritic, and a 4.5 star rating (across 328 reviews) on the iTunes store. Slothwerks, including the new addition to the team – narrative designer/writer Danny Wadeson – is now working on an indirect sequel titled Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale which aims to build on the accessible core mechanics while adding increased depth, longevity/replayability and world-building.
