A Solo Adventure Wargame of Galactic Trailblazing!
With all the chaos of the last year, it’s more important than ever for people to set aside their differences and come together, and tabletop creator Modiphius Entertainment is leading the charge with a focus on a unique genre of tabletop wargames – narrative-driven Adventure Wargaming.
Featuring titles such as Fallout Wasteland Warfare, Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, and Rangers of Shadow Deep, the Adventure Wargaming genre offers players a narrative-driven experience that promises more satisfaction and immersion than merely winning by scoring points. Each game features an unfolding story told on the battlefield that is often more exciting than winning the game itself!
Today, Modiphius is expanding the series with the retail launch of Five Parsecs from Home, a game specifically geared towards solo play. In it, players assemble a ragtag crew of galactic trailblazers and head out to explore the stars, pick up jobs, and every now and then — engage in some action-packed, sci-fi combat! Expand and upgrade your team as you find new patrons and new enemies as you dig deeper into a thrilling tale of robots, aliens, and cosmic escapades!
Whether playing with friends cooperatively or serving as an engaging single-player experience, Adventure Wargaming titles — like Fallout Wasteland Warfare — offer engrossing stories and a uniquely designed Artificial Intelligence system, which provides a collaborative sense of “us against them” rather than “us against each other ” gameplay
“Adventure Wargaming is a dramatic shift in how tabletop wargames are played, ” said Chris Birch, Publisher & Founder of Modiphius Entertainment. “I’d grown up in a world of adversarial tabletop games where it was always about winning by eliminating the enemy (aka – other players). This style always meant that someone losing and possibly being put off playing again. The Adventure format allows you to experience a grand narrative adventure either in solo play or with friends. It’s all about seeing what’s next and having the story unfold, versus just killing another horde of enemies.”
Five Parsecs From Home is a solo adventure wargame where you assemble a ragtag crew of galactic trailblazers and head out to explore the stars, pick up jobs, and every now and then — engage in some action-packed, sci-fi combat!
Battles are procedurally generated with huge combinations of enemies, weapons, battlefield circumstances and objectives whether fighting rivals or carrying out jobs.
With each encounter you earn experience and loot, progressing your crew and story as you send your crew to look for contacts, trade, explore the colony, recruit replacements or train up their skills.
The game is playable with any miniatures you have on hand and requires only a small number to get started, making it ideal for both experienced and new science fiction gamers.
