The collectible card game arena on the PC is about to get crowded. Not only do we have games such as the MTG: Duel of the Planeswalkers series, quite a number of developers are jumping aboard, and among them is indie studio BitFlip Games and its upcoming title Minion Master. They’ve just released a free Lite version of the game, along with a huge beta update to the full title, which brings about multiplayer gameplay. Check out the press release below for details and screenshots:
Independent micro studio BitFlip Games today announced that a free Lite version of Minion Master, its debut tactical collectible card game, is now available from the official Minion Master website at www.minionmaster.com. The Lite launch coincides with the release of the gigantic October beta update that introduces Co-operative play, Team Multiplayer, a new Level Sharing feature, and over 75 other additions to the game.
“As we edge closer to the commercial launch of Minion Master, we are excited to release the free Lite version and look forward to welcoming a whole new generation of players to the battle arena”, said David Steinwedel, Executive Producer of BitFlip Games, “With the added introduction of new co-op and team multiplayer modes and the level sharing tool, we have doubled down on empowering the community to create awe-inspiring strategic battles”.
The new Minion Master Lite version aligns the moment-to-moment tactics of Collectible Card Games with the long-term strategy of Miniature Wargaming. Lite players will choose one of 3 pre-built decks and receive a Booster Pack of cards to use in online multiplayer battles. In addition to multiplayer modes, Minion Master Lite players will have access to the full set of single player challenges and size-limited Level creation. Lite Minion Master players can upgrade their experience by pre-ordering the game and receiving the full Minion Master card set as well as an unlocked Level Editor.
Co-op and competitive team multiplayer modes are also included in the October update, allowing Minion Master players complete freedom in team creation. The new level sharing feature allows users to display their custom level creations on the Minion Master website. Players can download any of these levels to play on or to continue building upon.
