The world's first augmented reality trading card game Drakerz-Confrontation has arrived on Kickstarter. The game comes from the French-based Peoleo Entertainment, and the company has announced the game is currently sitting at around 90% complete with an open beta available on the game's official website. The Kickstarter will allow fans to support the game and gain access to the game when it is ready, and the campaign will look to earn $30,000 over the next 30 days. Read on for more details.
Drakerz-Confrontation unlocks a new experience for players and card collectors, combining a trading card game and a free-to-play online PC game via a patented augmented reality engine. In the game, players -- or "Drakerz" -- collect physical premium cards that are shown to players' webcam to call legendary creatures known as Drakos to appear in an arena and fight virtually using augmented reality. Codes on the cards create animated sequences in players' webcam video. Point scoring and card cost is managed entirely by the computer, freeing the player to concentrate on combat.
"After building momentum through a successful launch last year in Europe, Drakerz-Confrontation is ready to expand its audience through a U.S. release," said Benoit Coupez, CEO of Peoleo Entertainment. "In order to broaden and enhance Drakerz-Confrontation, the funding from Kickstarter is crucial and we're optimistic about the support we'll receive from players."
Each card has a special effect from creating armor to casting spells. Players determine their strategy based on the cards they select.
