Mythic Legions: Tactics – War of the Aetherblade Kickstarter Live with New Figure 2-Pack

Posted on July 30, 2021 at 7:41 am by Joe Moore under General Toy News

Mythic Legions Tactics Figures 001

Back in January, Four Horsemen kicked off a crowdfunding campaign for a new video game based on their Mythic Legions toy line. While that campaign was for the Single Player version of Mythic Legions: Tactics – War of the Aetherblade, the new crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter is for the free to play (and non-pay to win) multiplayer component. Among the rewards is a new Gorgo & Attila 6″ Scale Action Figure 2-Pack that will ship in exclusive. That set is priced at $100. Four Horsemen is also bringing back the Orc and Elf Legion Builder Packs that were initially available during the last crowdfunding campaign. Those items are add-ons to your pledge, and are priced at $56 each.

The campaign is already fully funded. You can check out the details and back it at the Mythic Legions: Tactics – War of the Aetherblade Kickstarter Page. See photos of the new figures after the jump.

    When are these guys ever going to do that space themed line? They've been teasing it for years. I'm eager to see what they'd do with some classic Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers inspired figure designs.

    This year is what they (Four Horsemen) are saying. Calling it "Cosmic Legions" -- they've teased a few prototype pieces already.

    Most are thinking Legion Con / Gen Con is when they'll show stuff.

    Anyway, love the new Gorgo, he's one I'm missing, glad to get the opportunity to pick him up.

    These figures look great, I'll be in for at least 1 pair but might sell off the Gorgo figure.

    That isn't until the fall though, so probably won't have a preorder until November at that rate and see them fall of 2022. It's just been quite a long wait from the initial teases.

    The Kickstarter funded, but I was looking at the breakdown of who backed what, and I think they need to forget about wasting their money developing this game. There were 1,500 backers and of that only 76 of them backed the game in some fashion which also includes a whole bunch of expensive extras that they have to print/produce and mail out. Just over 1,350 backers backed only the 2-pack of action figures and the remainder backed silly things like "intern for a day" and put your face in the game for $3,500 and crap like that. If only 76 of your 1,500 backers are interested in your multi-million dollars to produce game (which only pulled in $200K+ on Kickstarter) then that project is dead on arrival. I'm sure they may have other external backing, but the extras alone are going to hurt. I'm guessing they do well enough to risk it, but why risk it in the first place? Screw the risk, keep the money and invest it in what your customers seemingly really want which are action figures.

    No one outside of the toy collecting world knows what ML is and no ones in the gaming world is going to care nor try the game given the oversaturation of this sort of title. The game would have to set a new standard and be so unbelievably fantastic to even get its foot in the door and then there's a huge chance it would still fail. Good luck, Horseman. I can say I only backed the 2-pack and don't care one bit about the game, and I'm a gamer. I don't like those types of games, and I only want that beautiful plastic crack. Perhaps concentrate on what you excel at and leave the bankruptcy causing games' industry behind.

    I agree with you and much of this represents what went through my mind as the campaign wound its way to fruition. This was the first campaign of theirs that held zero interest for me, not even the figs/'carrots' added to move things along. Their designs are great as masterfully sculpted and painted toys of which I can't seem to get enough. However, as game designs? Not so much; they feel pretty pedestrian from a gaming perspective and that's without even touching whatever engine they intend to use, or the world they build. Just a weird decision, but I guess this may be a stepping stone to something else? I hope that something isn't an animation because I believe that might also be a little ill advised.

    Even a moderately successful game on Steam would increase awareness of the brand outside action figure circles immensely. Which is something they would struggle to do as a relatively small boutique company.

    I suppose, but what would a flop do? I've watched the beta footage and even for turn-based, an antiquated niche, this game doesn't seem to compete with the likes of old XBOX Live indie titles let alone the PC Master-race options available on STEAM. That'd be a laborious and risky venture for what you seem to describe as a glorified commercial.

    I don't disagree at all. The only positive I can see (I'm far from an expert to be fair) is that because so few people backed the campaign solely for the game, if it's a flop most people won't care. So in a way it might be a fairly low risk attempt at boosting the brands profile so long as they don't do something stupid like borrow money to fund the games development.
