Arena Rex’s Kickstarter Ends and We are More than Entertained
April 22, 2013 by dracs
The arena of kickstarter falls silent, the roar of the crowd is stilled as Arena Rex, the game of fantasy gladiatorial combat, emerges triumphant!
Your eyes do not deceive you my friends, they managed to get about $200,000 over their original goal!
So now that this has drawn to a close, let's take a look at some of the things we can expect to see for Arena Rex.
First up we have some really cool concept pieces which should now become reality thanks to all of you who chipped in to the kickstarter.
With such a wonderful and varied menagerie of miniatures being promised it is no wonder Arena Rex has enjoyed such a success. Where else would you be able to combine the romanticised blood shed of Roman gladiatorial combat with giant scorpion riders and Native American horse women.
All ready a bunch of the miniatures have appeared, providing us with some promising champions of the arena to paint up and send to their deaths or glory.
These are superb character minis. The detail and relative accuracy of the musculature is truly impressive and really makes them look alive. We can be hope that this level of quality continues with the final miniature releases.
If you want to know more about this game, be sure to check out the gameplay video the creators have put out (see above).

jup I also pledge some money to this game. loved the sculpes they displayed. Even if it still wip.
Yep, from day 1, and if you missed the campaign you can still join through PayPal on their website!
Got on board last week when it became evident that the game was becoming something really special. The gameplay looks fantastic. Similar to Bushido, but with the Favour of the Crowd adding more depth. Can’t wait for my swag!
I added a couple of minis to a friend’s pledge. He’s got more than enough for two players.
I don’t know if I will ever get a chance to play this with anyone but I backed the project just to get some of the amazingly detailed miniatures. I just hope I can do then justice!
I did go in on this one too – the minis looked too good to miss
Yup, I pledged too. C’mon who isn’t going to sit there yelling Gladiator quotes during a game?
I really wished I backed this. The end came faster than I thought 🙁
You still can. Until the 2nd of May through Paypal look under kickstarter on their website.
