Metal King’s RelicBlade Kickstarter Has Begun
February 10, 2016 by brennon
Metal King have now hit Kickstarter with their RelicBlade campaign. This is a fun looking adventure battle game where one side takes on the role of overlord of the minions within this Fantasy world while the other player sends heroes on their quest to find magical items and more...
The game looks superb with some amazingly well crafted miniatures all in 30mm scale with a good balance between the 'heroic' and the 'true'. The recommended pledge level is the Bold Adventurer which gives you enough to begin playing with a friend.
One of the things that really drew me to this project was the art style. The cards all look fantastic and have a really nice old school feel to them done in black and white. All of the cards were crafted meticulously to make sure they fitted within the world of RelicBlade AND looked awesome when they were done.
While the models have been tweaked from original sketches and done in ZBrush they actually have quite the handcrafted look to them which I think most people will appreciate. By now you're probably wondering about gameplay and you can see a video above giving you the basics of play.
The future also holds some new heroes for your adventures. See what you think of the Thief and the Dark Wanderer...
There are plans for all manner of additional heroes and monsters to clash with so I look forward to them hitting these stretch goals. No good adventure is complete without a Dragon at some point down the line so maybe we'll see them look at giant fire breathers at some point in the future?
What do you think of this campaign?

It looks very interesting. I like the pig men! Already halfway funded too. I might end up pledging to this if I have any money left after Arc Worlde later this month. So many good Kickstarters lately.
I do love the art style to this but with Twisted launching next week my KS allowance is tapped out.
I got the Vanguard set before the KS launched and am very happy with the quality of the minis and the printed products. I’ve not actually played a game yet but it does look fun.
Fingers crossed they go through some stretch goals.
I like the figures.
This looks cool. I especially like the art on the cards, reminds me of HeroQuest.
Agreed. That was the first hook into this game for me 🙂
Pledged yesterday, hopefully it’ll get into the stretch goals!
I pledged yesterday as well, It seems to capture the essence of what I felt when I first started playing games like D&D and HeroQuest many moons ago. I really can’t wait to see where this goes, very exciting!
Huzzah! It’s funded! Hopefully we’ll get it to the last stretch goal as well! I really like the design of the Dark Wanderer!
