The other great strength of Armello is the complexity of it. It’s amazing that with so many characters to now choose between the core board game action has remained as balanced as it has, but no character feels like they’re ever at a fundamental disadvantage. Every character has a distinct story, strong background, and impeccable design, making it easy to have favourites and view others as anti-heroes or perennial villains.Įach of those characters plays significantly different to one another, too, with highly divergent special abilities, statistics, and skills.
Armello takes a leaf out of the book of stories like The Animals of Farthing Wood, in that it’s all about anthropomorphic animals weaving the same complex structures and conflicts that human society does. Though the game is a digital board game, and therefore the environment is fairly static, the characters that the development team continue to create and then release as DLC are a wildly entertaining bunch. Firstly, it’s got character and personality. And now there’s a Nintendo Switch version, so now I’ve got yet another way to play it.Īrmello represents close to perfection in so many ways. Armello was originally released back in 2015.
At least, until they transition to become “retro” enough that I can have a look at them through that lens.īut Armello is a rare exception to that. Even games I truly love I can never seem to find an excuse for a replay. I rarely continue to play a game for years after its release.
