The Drowned Earth was a very succesfull Kickstarter campaign and the models and rules are available via the homepage or a store that offers it. The rules (without the fluff) are accessible as a free PDF on the page.
What it is about?
The world as it was is long gone. Whatever caused the cataclysm, now the sea level rose high, jungle vegetation is everywhere and the genetic modified creatures are a usual sight.
This does include human-like Gorillas, Elephants, Lizards and other creatures, but also Dinosaurs!
The rules are quick and simple and support a very cinematic style of gameplay. The miniatures can climb, swim, jump, etc. and use the opportunities of terrain to the full extent!
At the moment, there are five different factions, each of them has a starter pack with five miniatures. The dinosaurs can be used as an extra thread on the battlefield or as addition to the own team. But sorry, not as a single faction (yet).
The teams are:
Wayfarers (Mercenaries and guns for hire)
Firm (Scum of the underworld)
Militia (Heavy armed soldiers)
Artefacters (Treasure hunters)
Bondsmen (Bounty hunters)
In each group, there are different roles like Heavy, Medic, Tech, who each has a certain purpose during the game. Techs can repair weapons and use old artifacts from before the cataclysm, Medics can heal the wounded on the battlefield, and the Heavy deals heavy damage.
The video above gives an overview about the factions and also the rules.
As for now, I'm very interested in this game, but have not played it yet. But eventually...
