Osprey Takes To The Stars With Sci-Fi Twist! Undaunted 2200: Callisto
October 2, 2023 by avernos
The Undaunted series of board games from Osprey Games has explored multiple facets of the Second World War since 2019, and now they are moving from historical simulation into Science-Fiction with the newly announced Undaunted 2200: Callisto
Osprey Games // Undaunted 2200: Callisto
Jovian Moon Base - Callisto, 22nd Century AD: Tensions have arisen between the conglomerate of Earth's leading corporations that funded the base and the mining collective tasked with operating it. Protests have erupted, strikes been called, and contracts broken. Private security forces have been hired, industrial mining vehicles repurposed for combat, and long-disused military mechs reawoken. The battle for Callisto is about to begin: It's time to choose your side.
Once again Trevor Benjamin and David Thompson have reunited with artist Roland MacDonald to explore Jupiter IV in a game that can be played across two-player, four-player, and solo game modes. Navigate the barren lunar landscape, manoeuvre to seize dominant high-ground positions, and utilize your formidable mechs to gain control of Callisto and its precious resources.
I'm a big fan of Undaunted and this has come out of left field but I'm excited to see what the plans are and how the game will play out. The core is solid so it will be interesting to see what, if any, mechanics are added to Undaunted to bring it to Jupiter's moon.
"David and I are so excited to finally share this with you all! Callisto brings Undaunted to an entirely new setting, with lots of component and UI improvements such as [REDACTED//REDACTED//REDACTED By Jovian Base Mining Corp], as well as exciting new gameplay elements [REDACTED//REDACTED//REDACTED By Jovian Base Mining Corp]. We have had a blast designing the game and can't wait to hear what you all think!" - Trevor Benjamin, Illustrator

“It has been very exciting to develop a whole new setting for Undaunted. Developing a dynamic new art style and building a compelling sci-fi experience has been intense and rewarding experience. Callisto is a truly epic new incarnation of the series. I hope everyone loves it as much as the team does." - Roland MacDonald, Illustrator
After the Battle of Britain, I imagined that the next Undaunted game may have been a Pacific naval game, but once again they've caught me on the hop with a completely new direction of travel, this time in zero G.
Are you tempted to dive in and try out this Sci-Fi take on Undaunted?

Bit of a surprise one, sure is interesting though. Every expansion of the core game has brought in new ideas so it will be good to see what this one does.
On the bounce you apes!
I’m getting a above an beyond vibe from this game.
