Underestimated Games Shows Off Fantastic New Box Art For Purgatory

As you see; when a game really starts to come into its own, you often get to see it blossom in upgrades...
This week Underestimated Games is showing off the stunning new art for its cohort boxes for Purgatory.
Aside from the unique theme of the game (the War for Heaven), I was immediately drawn into the world of Purgatory with its eye-catching artwork. The vibrant colours and very specific style just draws you right in and you want to learn about the characters.
Our friends at Underestimated Games have now gotten far enough along into their game that those individual cohort boxes are getting some love which means shiny new box art!
On top of just looking fantastic, the new boxes for Purgatory feature a lower price point to help gamers get into the game with everything they need to get playing without a high model count. One of the other points that really sold me on this game is the fact that you can choose to play with any model, even if they are not technically part of your cohort.
You gain bonuses if you run models that are cohesive, but if you just have to have that certain model on your side, you can make it happen!
Who will you side with during the War for Heaven in Purgatory?
I’ve got a bunch of stuff from them already and they are fantastic models. I have to admit though, I’m finding it difficult to know how to really get in to their game and setting. I read the short story (not actually a very easy read), and while it gives the feel for the world, kind of, it doesn’t really explain who you might be playing or what you’re trying to do.
I hope they succeed in making it more accessible – the miniatures deserve more recognition and use!
That’s excellent feedback, thanks. The difficulty is where to start, we had to give it a flavour, but something we have always been mindful to issue was just who is each angel, especially the ones with models and why are they linked to the humans that follow them. We are currently in the very final stages of our first Tome. This book talks about Erishkigal and gives you some background as to who she is and why she is the way she is. It also talks about other characters, building up their personalities so that in other books, people can… Read more »
Cool – looking forward to seeing more!
