Galaxy Defenders Kickstarter

This new wave of 1+ player games continues to generate awesomeness. On April 16th, 2013, Ares Games will kickstart a venture that looks super cool to me - it's Galaxy Defenders by Gremlin Project.

From the official description:

Galaxy Defenders is a cooperative tactical board game in which up to 5 players fight together against an incoming alien menace. The battle for Earth against the aliens will develop in a series of missions organized in a story-driven campaign. Missions are based on modular maps and are played over a variable number of rounds, each mission may have multiple endings and the outcome of any mission will change the flow of the Story. Agents will gain experience during the missions. This experience can be used to transform a good soldier into a perfect Galaxy Defenders Agent with multiple skills, basic and improved tactics and the ability to use new devices, advanced human weapons and Alien technology. This system will grant a different A.I. for each alien species and will also simulate the chaos of battle because the Agents will not know in advance which alien will be activated during the next alien turn. The level of difficulty will scale dynamically based on the number of players in the game.

I might be jumping on board this one! The official site is HERE.
