Nova Aetas: Dark Renaissance Arrives on Kickstarter
November 29, 2014 by deltagamegirl22
A very cool, new tactical wargame has hit Kickstarter in the alternative Renaissance universe- Nova Aetas: Dark Renaissance Tactical Game! This new game by Ludas Magnus Studio looks really great and offers a fantastic range of game play.
The setting of Nova Aetas is an important part of the game and the artists have determined to get a great blend of fantasy and real-world Renaissance elements. With this concept in mind, each model has been designed with the goal of giving a subtly darker fantasy appearance that is still recognizable as Renaissance Italy.
This game is designed as a modular campaign with 30 plus linked scenarios and can be played solo or as a cooperative game. It has a really innovative driving mechanism with the Horlogium (Game clock). This provides an action management system based on the passage of time, providing you with dynamic and exciting game sessions.
The enemy is AI based, so no game master is required and the game drives itself with each turn.
And just look at these mini's! They look quite stunning and offer a very interesting feel with each choice!
Care to journey into Nova Aetas in this beautiful Kickstarter?

Those are really nice.
Solo and co-op play
Cool minis
Cool theme and setting
Campaign mode and character improvement
No horrific extra postage costs
very tempting
The one thing missing that I would love to see is how the game actually plays.
Have yet to see a video preview which would really be handy
If the game is any good, I would back this instead of craving Shadows of Brimstone
Their last update said they’re about to pull the plug on this … about two hours after I backed it. I can’t help but feel responsible.

Why did you go and do that for *facepalm* 😛
I think it is a positive move tbh if not annoying to those such as yourself that backed it
It should allow them to regroup and be stonger next time around
Also in answer to myself re video previews:
“We have the beta rules (english version) almost ready and we are working on the game-play video (we have two demo but them didn’t satisfy us). We apologize to do not publish this material on our KS home page, you can found them on our website ”
I will follow this project with interest
Yeah. I hope they do have another stab at it. It’s a very interesting-looking game.
Hi there people! I reopen this discussion to infrom you that the 4th march 2015 we reboot the KS campaign for Nova Aetas…So continue to follow us on uor FB page.
Thanks for you support!
