Acheron's Fall from Ramper Design
« on: August 11, 2023, 07:48:50 pm »
First teased in the spring, it looks like more information on the naval game Acheron’s Fall will be inbound after next week.  The game is based on the universe of Infinity produced by Corvus Belli, and each player will only command 1-3 ships.

Infinity is one of the most granular miniature games on the market, and judging from the HUD displays and vectored movement shown on the first alpha preview from On TableTop that high level of complexity will be reflected in Acheron’s Fall as well, just based on resource allocation instead of action management...

First public playtests are scheduled for the upcoming Interplanetario event in Spain with more details to follow afterwards.
If my wife asks, I only spent half as much as I wanted to...

Here's a bit more info:

ACHERON'S FALL
Acheron's Fall is a space battle game where players captain large warships in frenetic and dynamic battles. Their figures will be made of high-quality plastic resin.

Each player will carry from 1 to 3 ships and it will be playable for 1 vs 1 and multiplayer game modes.

Ramon, from Ramper Design, assures that Acheron's Fall <has mechanics that you won't find in any other ship game in the market. It has a very innovative movement system that represents the inertias of the ships on the table using D12 dice. The game includes, among its rules, the resource management of the ships where you will have to distribute energy and crew to perform actions or improve them>.

Acheron Falls is based on a chapter in the Infinity backstory surrounding the Aqueron Lock in the Paradiso system. Players will be able to take command of a fleet to protect the Human Sphere from the alien forces of the Combined Army, or from the rapacity of the other great powers.

If you are interested in testing the game, you will be able to do so at the event dedicated to the Infinity universe: Interplanetario, August 18-20, 2023 in Vigo, Galicia; or at Freak Wars, September 9-10 in Madrid.


I had completely missed this announcement back in April! I'll admit, I'm not overly invested in the Infinity setting, but this looks like it could be an interesting game. There seems to be a bit more info over on the official Infinity forums:
