While you guys are taking out Omnitron, I’m going to go check out the Funny Bunny
Sentinels of the Multiverse is one of the best board game ports of the year, and one of the best overall games of the year as well. It does just about everything right and with the number of expansions already available for the cardboard version, its future is incredibly bright. That future begins next week when the first update for Sentinels goes live.
Aside from all the full expansions that add new characters and villains there are also a legion of what Greater Than Games calls “promo cards”. These are single cards that you get by attending conventions or through other special offers. Promo cards replace existing heroes and villains giving them a new power as well as filling in more backstory of the universe created for the game. The upcoming 1.1 patch has 6 of these promo cards–called Variants in the app–that you can get for free, but you have to find and unlock them. It’s not as easy as it sounds. I’ve been playing all morning with the new update [it's a rough life -ed.] and have yet to stumble onto one.
In addition to the promos, the graphics have received a noticeable upgrade. Characters are bigger with different poses and angles. Also, they’ve added a cool new intro screen before each game begins. Top that off with bug fixes and the ability to flip double-sided cards, and Sentinels is poised to become even better than it already is.
Sentinels for iPad and Android will cost you a cool $10. New screenshots after the break.
Note the bigger characters. It really makes the game pop.
Here you see the new graphics of…aw, who am I kidding. I only posted this so you could see how badly I kicked the Baron’s ass.
I thought that Tachyon was giving me a clue to unlock a promo card. I was wrong.
Every time a promo card is unlocked, an angel gets its wings
