Hotly Anticipated TCG Eerie Worlds Gets a Mid-September Launch Window and a Philippines Soft-Launch
/
Having cut its teeth on Cards, the Universe and Everything, developer Avid Games is taking a microscope to just one facet of world culture: the horrific.
Eerie Worlds is a trading card game (TCG) with an unhealthy preoccupation with the occult, taking on spirits, specters, monsters, myths, and folktales from a vast array of world cultures, from North American to Japanese.
And it’s getting a soft-launch in the Philippines.
Like Cards, the Universe and Everything, Eerie Worlds is a meticulously researched game, packed with info on everything from Abhartach, the diminutive vampire of Irish legend, to Jikininki, the man-eating ghost of countless Japanese nightmares (and now yours).
So how do you find yourself rubbing shoulders with this army of ethereal monstrosities?
The barriers that separate the various planes of reality have started to break down, creating rifts through which supernatural beings are able to pass into our own realm.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it—and you have to, or the world will end—is to win control of these rifts and use them to create your own horrific army of wraiths and beasts, in the form of a deck of cards.
These cards go together to form an ancient grimoire, which is the name for your collection and also your guide to the properties of your eldritch units, allowing you to make the best possible use of them in battle.
In practical terms, that means engaging in fast, exciting duels using compact decks consisting of a vast number of potential cards.
Right now, Eerie Worlds boasts eight different card sets, organized into four color-coded Alliances (Grimbald, Zerrofel, Rivin, and Synnig) and four Hordes (such as Yokai and Slavic).
Each of these sets contains six Common cards, four Rare cards, three Epic cards (with four upgrades), two Fabled cards (with five upgrades), and finally a World card.
Four more sets will be released in the next few months.
Eerie Worlds now available in the Philippines
Avid Games is tweaking and finessing Eerie Worlds using the feedback from lucky players in the Philippines, but you should be able to play it for yourself when the game launches globally in mid-September. Those interested can visit the game’s page on Google Play right now.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.
