There is no chat feature while playing online, and while you are waiting for other players to complete their turns, the silence is borderline deafening. I found that the largest gripe I had was with the game’s multiplayer, which is fundamental to its overall success. It is important to note that if you are a fan of the Game of Thrones series, you will certainly catch several references while playing Armello. The “Kingsguard” surrounding the castle are fully capable of being bribed and the intro cinematic of the king sitting on the throne, shrouded in darkness reminded me of our favorite Lannister, Joffrey (please excuse the blatant sarcasm).Īlthough Armello certainly holds its own flavor of unique and regal charm, it is not perfect. Contrary to popular belief, these passive abilities do have an effect on gameplay, although it may be somewhat mild. While some characters may hold an offensive advantage at night, others may posses a daytime battle advantage. As the dev team mentioned at E3, “the king is the virtual sith lord of the board.” While navigating across the board, players will be met with opportunities for bribery and other situations which will force them to choose whether or not to wave their morality to continue toward the throne.Īrmello offers a multitude of playable characters whom possess different passive abilities for players to take advantage of on their quest for victory. Players are tasked with seizing the throne of a once wise and noble lion king, who is now corrupt with ultimate power. The central themes of Armello are conquer and corruption (or “rot”). With physical tabletop games constantly offering extended gameplay packs to extend a game’s enjoyment, it is a comfort to know that the Armello experience is fully developed from the start, priced at $19.99 and $13.99 for PlayStation Plus members.
There are no missing parts which require players to spend any additional money to enjoy the game in its entirety. Armello however, does nothing of that sort.įrom the get-go, Armello is complete. It is a true rarity that consoles are graced with virtual tabletop games and if we are, we tend to see games such as Magic the Gathering or other money grubbers flooding the market. These titles tend to indirectly coerce players into purchasing upgrade packs or multiple download packs to soak in the game’s full potential.
