Blood Bowl: Star Coach

Hey,

Not an Oldhammer post or even a Wargaming post! Wait wait before you leave muttering, its still about Blood Bowl that game of bloodshed that you all happen to love right?

The last few days i haven't done much painting, the reason Blood Bowl: Star Coach is in open beta for the PC and i been giving that a good bashing.



In Blood Bowl : Star Coach create your team and set your own match tactics to destroy your opponent in a fantasy, ultra-violent version of American football! Based on Games Workshop's fantasy football game world, Blood Bowl: Star Coach is a tactical multiplayer team-building game.

What the developers say:

As development of Blood Bowl: Star Coach enters its final phase, we offer you the chance of an Early Access in order to try out the game. Thanks to your feedback, we will be able to correct any errors and improve the game experience.

Blood Bowl: Star Coach is Free-to-Play and we intend to add content in the game as well as in the in-game store. For example, we would like to introduce additional pre-defined tactics, new training bots for practice games, boosters as well as new teams to coach.

This Beta phase also allows us to prepare for the launch of the game on other platforms because you will soon be able to play on tablet computers as well as on Mac!

To thank you for taking part, Cyanide will reward you with a pack of Cyans, to be used in-game when Blood Bowl: Star Coach is officially launched.



About the Game
In Blood Bowl : Star Coach create your team and set your own match tactics to destroy your opponent in a fantasy, ultra-violent version of American football!

Based on Games Workshop's fantasy football game world, Blood Bowl: Star Coach is a tactical multiplayer team-building game. Dwarfs, elves, humans, and other foul creatures are back and, once more, they are determined to grind each other into the turf!

Star Coach tasks the player with creating their own Blood Bowl team (choosing from different races and players) and the development of his own offensive and defensive playbook. The player will then challenge other coaches, no matter which digital platform they play on, and choose the strategy that best fits his opponent. The basics of this violent sport are simple: two teams, one ball. The team that carries the ball into the opponent's end zone scores a touchdown, and the team with the most touchdowns at the end of the game is the winner. But, as with the original Blood Bowl, no holds barred violence and dirty tricks are allowed!

Matches are resolved by an online server and a ranking system designates the best coaches. Coaches can develop their teams in a variety of different ways and have the opportunity to improve their teams by hiring Star Players or recruiting new staff. A ‘Cabalvision’ replay mode allows players to live out the blow-by-blow contest in full 3D!
