flying helmet games [1]First revealed at PAX East 2013, Eon Altar [2] cooperative role-playing tabletop video game is going to Gen Con [3] in Indianapolis this August. Currently in development at Vancouver’s Flying Helmet Games [1], Eon Altar invites five friends to fight through dungeons to uncover ancient secrets and compete for glory and wealth, using smartphone handset to control your character’s actions, and a shared tablet to adventure through dungeons as a group. Participants will be able to experience the robust cross-platform play of Eon Altar on their Tablet PCs, Tablets and Smartphone Handsets on iOS, Android and Windows 8.
“The Kingdom of Gray lies cradled by the mountains of the Western Spine, from Castle Gray, to the town of Barrier on the eastern border of the Black Sands. In the mining village of Tarnum, a cave exists, said to descend to the foundry of Myrth the Creator God – the birthplace of man. In hopes of discovering fame and fortune, adventurers line up in droves, to navigate the treacherous paths, the darkness, and worse. Few return. Will you?”
