The lead designer of “This War of Mine” and “Anomaly 2,” Rafał Włosek, has a new game, and it is in need of support via Kickstarter. The game, called “War Builder League,” is described as a “build & fight multiplayer for mature players.” To put it simply, it is a multiplayer game that centers on electronic warfare and requires players to use tactics and strategy to succeed.

Włosek, who is based in Warsaw, Poland, is working on “War Builder League” with the end-goal of creating something that he himself would like to play. He has definitely earned his stripes in the industry after many years of work, and his most notable outputs are the aforesaid multi-awarded titles from 11 bit studios. In this endeavor, Włosek is joined by Marcin Łazowski, who is known for being the creator of “Space Drill.” The developing team also includes 2D artist Mariusz Wojciechowski and writer Marta Rozbicka.

‘War Builder League’ Explained

For gamers who want to try something that would challenge their decision-making, this new game is a must-try. Aside from being tasked to construct one’s Machine, players also need to prove that what they created can hold out against strategic matches. And since this is a multiplayer, players should also be good in tactical team play.

“War Builder League” boasts of traditional gameplay, but it also has the gaming mechanics of electronic battles. As such, players will find themselves fighting to crush enemies or taking control of them, providing assistance and defense to allies and performing other activities that would be beneficial to the themselves and their teammates.

How to Build A Machine In “War Builder League”

Given the premise of the game, players are nothing without their machines. Hence, it is imperative that one builds his or her own Machine. At the start of the game, players will be introduced to a working space in the hangar. Different components and parts as well as their statistics are then displayed on either side of the screen, so players can easily choose the components they wish to use for their own Machine.

It is very important that players take the Machine-building step seriously, for each part of their Machine will affect its combat skills. Before engaging in matches, players are given the chance to see how the Machine they constructed operates. There’s also an option for players to fight against a copy of their Machine just to check how it would perform during battles. Undo/redo buttons are conveniently part of the working space, so players can make modifications before heading to combat.

Tactical Gaming Over Skill

“War Builder League” is all about tactical gaming. Players will have to find a way to bring glory to their team by supporting their teammates and strategically fighting opponents. The developers even said that this game will not mostly be about skill and eye-hand coordination. Rather it focuses on “planning, team playing and strategy.”

Why Support The Game’s Kickstarter Project

The campaign for Wlosek’s new game is now live on Kickstarter. Gamers can now pledge from $3 to $2,600 or more to show their support. For those who do, their names will be in the credits. Depending on the amount fans give, they will be getting badges and emblems for their Machines to make them recognizable in the game as owned by the people who helped in realizing the project. Personalized game elements are also in the cards for generous backers.

“War Builder League” is going to be a free game.
