Mantic Talk More On The Walking Dead: All Out War
January 13, 2016 by brennon
Mantic Games have given us a few more morsels of information on The Walking Dead: All Out War. Their latest blog posts HERE and HERE go into more detail as to the way in which the Zombies work and how the game will play out.
Firstly they went into detail as to how the game will play out across a game mat. Two groups of survivors, made up of characters from the graphic novels/comics, will be fighting over resources and trying to avoid being eaten by the wandering zombies.
Zombies will be controlled by an AI deck which governs their movement. Wandering within the 'kill zone' of a zombie will also provoke it into attacking you so you will need to stay away from the walkers if you want to survive. Bear in mind that sound also draws them close.
Interestingly they also talked about how certain event cards will give control of the zombies to one player. This gives you a choice. Move the zombies nearer to your opponent or away from your own group?
Will you be keeping a close eye on this game?

This looks like it could be great fun, especially the AI deck for the walkers. Playing the characters from the comic is fine, but I really want to create my own group of survivors with which to explore the game world. I find that creating your own characters (in any game really) helps to immerse you in that world, or perhaps that’s just me. Anyway, I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.
I dont think there is going to be anything stopping you. If the uptake is as big as suspected I am sure fans will be putting together build your own survivor guide
If there is any time to get your head made into a model by Prodos this would be that time
I think you’re probably right; If Mantic don’t include rules for survivor creation they’ll certainly be ‘house ruled’ I think. I’m not sure about the head shrinking service from Prodos, It’s a little disturbing… :p
Check Hasslefree Miniatures for great zombie survivor models.
They do indeed do some very good stuff.
Ill be on this at KS.
Game Z-Nation…………….Hell Yes
I think this will be a brilliant game.
wow real nice
