Megacon Games Offers A Peek At Myth: Dark Frontier
June 6, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
As the calendar flipped into June, the news about things to look for at Gen Con is starting to bubble to surface.
Our friends at Megacon Games are one of the first to drop teasers about what they're bringing this year, and it looks like Myth: Dark Frontier will be in the mix!
“Dark Frontier is a cooperative adventure board game set in a desperate land of shadows. Players take on the role of iconic heroes from the world of Myth, aiding the besieged city of Farrenroc in its never-ending quest to stay the consuming Darkness.
Together the heroes must venture beyond the safety of “the Rock” in order to take back the land that has become corrupted by shadow.
By fighting back minions, rallying the support of the people, and eventually turning back an apocalyptic siege, the heroes must stand firm against the Darkness…or else the Four Kingdoms are doomed.”
“We wanted players to explore, fight monsters, collect valuable resources for their city, and build important structures in the surrounding afflicted lands to hold back the tide of invaders. Another important element that we knew we wanted in the game from the beginning is the sense of a looming Boss, commanding his minions from the shadows and biding his time until his plan violently unfolds.”
This looks like it will be a wonderful blend of adventuring and resource management, elements that they have proven to develop beautifully in their previous games.
I especially like the element of the city of Farrenroc in the center of the board. This city will be in pieces that will be removed as the city falls. If the city is ultimately lost, the adventurers lose the game.
Will you be stopping by Megacon Games at Gen Con for a look at Dark Frontier (don't worry, we'll get a look for you in the Live Blog)?

Really curious about this. They promised it would contain loads of contents for backers of their Myth kickstarters, and as someone who backed them both, I’m always looking for an excuse to get more play out of my mini’s.
Sorry – until these guys get their act together and catch up with their three incomplete KickStarter campaigns which are well overdue and delivering to a less than promised product quality – they ain;t getting any more of my money!
My same thoughts exactly! They really need to fix the issues that they have with their current Kickstarters before jumping into another one
I’m really hoping this will be a minimal Kickstarter. It was originally billed as a whole new way to use all my existing Myth minis which I would be interested in. I really hope it doesn’t turn into a huge new set of Myth stuff as I already have a ton and not really looking to expand it much more.
Is this going to be another Kickstarter that becomes a top retail seller in North America before they can be arsed to ship it to European backers?
No thanks, the quality of Mercs Recon was terrible and the communication really bad. Never ever again !
