FreeCompany are back on Kickstarter with an expansion to their Fantasy wargame, Eldfall Chronicles. Northern Wind offers up brand new adventures for this game which can be played in a variety of different ways. For many, this is seen as the Fantasy version of Infinity!

Eldfall Chronicles: Northern Wind offers up just as versatile a gaming experience as the original game. You can engage with it in cooperative or solo play or in a selection of player-versus-player games. Northern Wind also sits as a standalone expansion for Eldfall Chronicles meaning that you can use it to expand your collection or simply dive in here and use this as your entry point into the world.

The main focus of Northern Wind is a dungeon-crawl-style affair where you can dive into a narrative campaign that builds on the lore of the Eldfall Chronicles world...

"The cooperative narrative campaign is driven by lore, immersive storytelling, and a unique tactical depth. Each player assumes the role of a hero who survived a brutal ambush in the treacherous northern mountains, burdened with the fate of the Empire. Guided by the Quest Map, the heroes embark on a race against time, aiming to reach the summit of Mt. Byodo before the Blood Moon rises and breaks the seal holding back the demonic Oni... and something worse."

As with any good dungeon crawl, your heroes will level up during the course of the campaign and be able to arm themselves with new weapons and items they have collected. You'll also be able to synergize with different heroes in new ways and determine exactly which path you want to go down as the campaign continues. FreeCompany has mentioned that Northern Wind has three main storylines or branches for you to explore meaning that you can come back to the game and find out what happens if you go a different way each time.

As well as that, this also provides you with a whole host of different miniatures which can be used for the core Eldfall Chronicles experience where you build your warband and get stuck into some deadly battles on the tabletop. If you're interested in learning more about the core gameplay, you can check out the Let's Play we did for the first campaign...

When it comes to pledging for Eldfall Chronicles, there are a variety of different options for you to choose from. You can dive in with a Core Pledge...

...or you can pick up the impressive All-In Pledge which comes with absolutely everything you could ever want when diving into the game. I like the idea that you've got the dungeon crawling experience as a fun introduction to Eldfall Chronicles as well as a full skirmish game for you to dive into beyond that.

As well as the pledges that get you loads of miniatures, you also get the option to dive into some different expansions for the game as well. You can go with the Blighted Riftspawn or find yourself dealing with a deadly Goblin threat.

Eldfall Chronicles is an immense world that FreeCompany have created and as well as all of the gorgeous miniatures and the different styles of play, there is also a LOT of lore for you to dive into. It is well worth you investing some time in working your way through the lore over on their website HERE.

It's also worth diving into our Game Hub about Eldfall Chronicles as it has a number of different articles about the game as well as Gerry's First Impressions of playing it before he dove into the Let's Play video above.
