Are you a fan of physical miniature games? Well, the turn-based strategy title Moonbreaker might appeal to you because it lets you enjoy such games without the physical limitations. You will play on a map with a stunning diorama look and have the ability to paint your units, so that you can alter their color scheme the way you want.
Recently, Unknown Worlds Entertainment launched the first content patch for Moonbreaker, now downloadable on Steam. The update is called “Zax’s Story” and as you can already tell, the new plot focuses on Zax Ja’Kar, one of the captains in the game.
Aside from the new story arc, the Zax’s Story Update also features a new Cholek map, which has a beige and green color scheme to it. But the biggest change in this patch is that the reinforcement and drawing mechanic have been removed. This means that all rosters now have eight crew members instead of 10, not including the captain.
