Bonjour,
En tout cas la DA (à première vue) est plutôt sympa , à voir le reste (prix, place, gameplay …)
Cdt
Ce qui semble être des plateaux joueurs en forme d’hexagone découpé où se place des cubes me semble plutôt original.
Pour le reste, en revanche, plutôt classique je dirais, pour le peu que l’on en vois.
J’ai regardé une partie de la vidéo, et voilà ce que j’en ai compris (avec traduction auto).
Donc, excusez-moi s’il y a quelques erreurs ou imprécisions 
Activations possibles
A noter que les différentes zones d’activations sont upgradables (avec des tokens) en cours de partie.
Voilà, grosse maille 
Edit :
Merci pour le résumé, j’avais vraiment beaucoup apprécié cet éditeur, et j’ai été assez déçu vis à vis de Dante pour les frais de ports astronomiques.
Donc je vais être beaucoup plus attentiste sur cette campagne.
probablement inutile
Je me demande ce que ça vaudra comme jeu…surtout ce qu’il proposera avec ces « standees » à la Jojo qui devraient être top à peindre.
Moi qui me tâte à plonger un jour pour Blood Rage.
Premier update pre-campagne…
Experience cinematic gameplay through the dynamic Action Rondel, where positioning and momentum are key, with solo or cooperative play offering deeply replayable missions, diverse objectives, and a strong emphasis on player decisions and team spirit.
“The Gods have abandoned us! Fearing the prophesied Ragnarök, they sought to prevent it, only to bring it about themselves. They traded thunder for steam, the glory of dying in battle for the cold eternity of iron, corrupting their own bodies”

A Glimpse Into the Corrupted World: Where War Never Sleeps
The world of Battleforge: Berserker is a fractured realm. The very threads of destiny have been twisted by the Ironborn Gods and their mechanized army. But there are ancient heroes that refuse to be dishonored by the Gods’ corruption, the Champions of Valhalla. They are the carriers of ancestral rage, protectors of sacred fire, and keepers of forgotten oaths.
And you are one of them.

Your quest: battle relentless Ironborn Gods and their monster hordes to restore the true course of Ragnarök. Engage in dangerous confrontations, and master tactical rondel mechanics across diverse, challenging scenarios.
Witness your Champion evolve by growing his Fury points and gaining Boons, culminating in a thrilling manifestation of your Berserker form, empowered by modular, destructive choices. Face epic boss battles against colossal Ironborn Gods, demanding meticulous tactical dismantling of their very mechanisms.
Designed for quick setup and easy learning, Battleforge: Berserker delivers an exhilarating experience for any group size, promising deep tactical play and untold hours of Norse-inspire adventure.
Battleforge: Berserker is a tactical action game built on:
- The Action Rondel, where positioning and momentum are key.
- Cinematic gameplay, driven by player decisions and team spirit.
- Solo and cooperative play, with deeply replayable missions and diverse objectives.
- And of course… massive boss fights that demand teamwork and real strategy.
Step into a journey of glory and sacrifice, into a resistance forged in blood, steel, and rage. Rise as a Champion, fuel your fury, transform into a fierce Berserker, and confront the Ironborn Gods!
Your Champion, Your Path
In Battleforge: Berserker, you embody a unique, fierce Champion, guiding every tactical choice through an intuitive, dynamic rondel. Whether striking down foes or mending wounds, your every action profoundly shapes the battle’s direction. As you defeat Minions, your Fury grows, unlocking your true potential and manifesting the bestial strength of your Berserker spirit.
Choose from a diverse roster of Champions and Berserkers to perfectly match your playstyle: be it staunchly defending allies, providing crucial healing, or demolishing enemies with your raw fury. Remember, teamwork and thoughtful planning are paramount; each decision impacts not only your individual Champion’s strength but the entire group’s collective fate and ultimate victory.
The Rondel: The Heart of Battleforge Strategy
At the core of Battleforge: Berserker lies one of its most innovative and tactical features: the Rondel, a six-space Mancala-inspired action wheel that sets this game apart from traditional adventure or tactical skirmish systems.
Each Champion manages their own Rondel, guiding their actions in combat. Whether attacking, defending, healing, or performing ancient rituals, every choice revolves, quite literally, around this evolving interface.
On a Champion’s turn, their Action Cubes move clockwise around the wheel. As cubes accumulate in certain spaces, future actions become stronger, creating ever-shifting momentum. The longer you wait to strike, the harder you may hit. Delay a defense, and you may be able to turn it into a devastating counterattack.
This creates a natural rhythm to every Champion’s arc, like a beating war drum. It pushes players to think ahead, to read the battlefield, and to master the flow of combat.
To make things even more dynamic, players can receive Boons: special tokens that amplify specific actions on the Rondel. These may grant critical boosts at just the right moment, turning the tide of battle and adding another layer of tactical depth to each round.
The Rondel is more than a system. It is the pulse of your Champion’s journey, a living loop of power, patience, and precision.
The Ironborn Gods: Ultimate Adversaries
The Ironborn Gods are Battleforge: Berserker’s ultimate foes. Each is meticulously designed to offer distinct tactical challenges and forge unforgettable battles, wielding unique decks and specific actions. They unleash varied, thematic, and dangerous abilities every round, constantly shifting the threat on the battlefield.
To survive, Champions must constantly adapt. Victory demands careful timing of attacks, precise defensive maneuvers, and sharp exploitation of possible vulnerabilities to gradually weaken and ultimately defeat these colossal enemies. It’s a strategic dance of anticipation and execution.
These formidable foes must be broken apart before being destroyed; each targeted part possesses unique features as they are damaged, activating the God’s resilience skills. Every confrontation emphasizes tactical depth, teamwork, and adaptability, culminating in dramatic and profoundly fulfilling climaxes for each scenario.
Face Relentless Hordes
Beyond the colossal Gods, the Minions serve as relentless adversaries, designed to continuously challenge your strategies. These creatures activate at the command of the Ironborn Gods, following streamlined rules, yet they constantly threaten Champions or pursue critical objectives each round.
While individually manageable, their combined assaults and unique traits force a delicate balance of aggression and defense. Minions ensure the battlefield is always dynamic, exerting continuous pressure and demanding tactical decisions without cumbersome upkeep, proving they are far more than mere fodder.
Unending Trials, Shifting Fates
Venture into Battleforge: Berserker and discover a realm of limitless conflict. Each distinct Scenario unveils its own unique mechanics, victory demands, and unforgiving loss triggers, woven with thematic Event Cards that shape every encounter.
But the true mastery lies in the Ironborn Gods. Each God commands a unique deck, combining their might with the Scenario’s rules to unleash unpredictable synergies upon the battlefield. A fresh God transforms any familiar Scenario into an entirely new crucible of danger, ensuring countless hours of evolving challenge and discovery.
Community Side Quests: No Early Birds. No Follow Gifts. Just Real Rewards for Everyone.
In many campaigns, Early Bird or Follow Gifts only benefit a portion of the community, often the fastest to act or those who joined first. While we understand the intent behind those strategies, we believe there’s a better way.
For Battleforge: Berserker, we’re doing things differently.
We’re building a community-driven path to unlock more content, together; before the campaign even begins. This means every reward we unlock will be available to all Champions, no matter when you pledge.
The First Reward: A New Adventure Awaits
Image of a Playtesting session- BF prototype
Our first Community Side Quest is live; and it comes with real gameplay value.
Once we reach 5,000 followers on our draft page, we’ll unlock an entirely new Adventure for Battleforge: BERSERKER.
Why does that matter? Because in BF, every Adventure reshapes the game. Each one introduces new dynamics that can be played with different bosses, new combat approaches, and new objectives, which adds up hours of gameplay and completely transforms how your story unfolds.
How to Join the Quest:
To get your first reward is simple:
- Share the Draft Page with a friend
- Post it in a board game group
- Tag someone you know who loves engaging, tactical games
It only takes a moment, but it makes a huge difference. The more Champions we rally, the more content we unlock; and the more epic this game becomes for everyone.
These are shared milestones that allow ALL CHAMPIONS to unlock new content together. More Adventures, more missions, more worldbuilding. These are not just stretch goals; they are your victories in the Pre-Campaign Phase.
When you engage, share, and bring others into the tribe, we grow together, and everyone reaps the rewards.
This system is our answer to a fairer, more connected campaign experience. One where every voice matters.
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be revealing more; new quests, expanded lore, characters background, modular systems, and the powerful forces that will rise to challenge you and your allies.
Your axe is already in hand. Your legendary journey is to be written. Let’s do it together.
The Battle Is Coming. And We Want You on the Front Lines.
