Using our behemoth of an Adventure Book, play once a week with your favorite group of dedicated friends. As you experience Middara’s 60+ hour campaign, you’ll gain new items, kill new monsters, level up, and begin seeing the culmination of your efforts. The ramifications of your decisions and the outcomes of your battles throughout the adventure will slowly change the narrative as you struggle to save your family’s kingdom and the people you love.
In Middara, there are no classes. Instead, players choose the abilities they want with the weapons of their choice. With over 140 Disciplines and over 360 Equipment cards, Middara contains near limitless customization. Middara’s “no-item-restriction” design means that players can create anything from a nimble healer who dodges attacks and uses a bow and flintlocks, to a warhammer wielding spellcaster equipped with full platemail.
Middara sets itself apart from other games in the genre with its unique, beautiful artwork and vibrant modern alternate-world fantasy setting. Middara has purposefully forgone orcs and goblins and has decided to instead create brand new creatures in lieu of more common traditional offerings. With modern day Earth existing alongside the fantasy world of Middara, our character design contains a more millennial flair with a heavy seasoning of both western and eastern fantasy tropes.
Combat in Middara has strayed far from the path of miniature board games and has instead pulled inspiration from traditional tabletop RPGs and war games. Middara prides itself on tactical, dice-driven combat that rewards players for quick-thinking, over-preparing, and planning ahead. The difference by which attacks hit equates directly to damage, making engagements in Middara fast, fun, and dangerous.
Using Middara’s 36 double-sided tiles, players are able to create a plethora of unique locations. From forests, to dungeons, to ancient libraries, our modular tile system provides a comfortable blend of unique possible locales while still providing maximum customization to each specific location. With each tile measuring at over 6 x 6 inches, players can expect rather large dungeons. Each one of Middara’s beautiful tiles are hand-drawn without 3D rendering and made in-house by one of the creators of Middara.
The entirety of the Act 1’s 200,000 word Adventure Book has been voiced over. Using the Forteller App, players are able to select the scene they’re currently playing, then sit back and listen to the entire narrative.
For those who don’t want to commit to Middara’s long Adventure Mode, there exists another option called the Crawl Mode. This ever-expanding mode of play provides players with a more traditional board game experience. In a single night, a group of friends can kill monsters, get loot, and level up. Leveling up is faster and items and gold come easier and quick. This mode is perfect for one-night experiences with people who have never played or aren;t able to dedicate the time required for the Adventure Mode.
