Game 4 (our code name for our next title) is making its way to PAX East for the first time ever, so you’ll get a chance to play our demo at Booth 5020! One of the battiest units you could encounter in the game is our Vampire.

As you saw in our last Game 4 development post, we have customizable options for several unit types in the game. Vampire is another creature you can refashion into your favorite accessories!

Just like any other accessory in Game 4, these Vampire specific items could pop up for purchase in the Market (if you already have a Vampire in your team), they could be potentially acquired through loot & rewards, or you could always Recruit a Vampire in battle if they have the desired gear on their being. Mix and match torso and head gear as you wish!

Come back next week to learn more about our Game 4 demo at PAX East 2015 and how you could recruit other species (like Vampires, Mushrooms, Wraiths, Trolls, Cupcakes, etc..) on to your own team of heroes!

TL;DR
-Game 4 demo coming to PAX East 2015
-Vampires can fly further away toward enemy units
-Vampires get a bonus off bleeding enemy units
-Vampires have customizable gear!

We’re coming up on our 6th year at PAX East! That’s right, we’ve been going since year one of the expo.
 
Our booth is in the same location by the escalators, but the booth numbers have changed this year. Look for us on the map – Booth #5020!
 
We can’t wait to bring our Game 4 demo to the East Coast for the 1st time! If you missed our recent reveal of Cupcakes, you can find our development blog post HERE. Just like in past years, our games will be shown on our custom built arcade cabinets. You won’t want to miss the chance to play this expo-only experience.
 
More details to come about the demo and our new merchandise we’ll be bringing to PAX East. Come back soon, ya hear?
