Jervis Johnson Reimagines DreadBall
„All-Stars is a completely new experience set in the DreadBall universe, rebuilt from the ground up,“ says Mantic Games CEO Ronnie Renton. „Jervis has created a stand-alone game that takes everything players loved about the series and removes the barriers.”
Unlike traditional miniature sports games that require extensive team-building and long sessions, DreadBall: All-Stars features pre-assembled miniatures, streamlined rules, and fixed team rosters, designed to get you straight into the action.
„If Blood Bowl is like American Football, then All-Stars is like a full-contact version of NBA Basketball, with lots of opportunities to score, and just as many opportunities to flatten the opposition!“ – Jervis Johnson.

Klingt spannend. Nach einem schnellen Einstieg in Dreadball.
Schaut danach aus als würde man das Konzept von Halo Flashpoint mit dem leichten Einstieg auf Dreadball übertragen (inklusive den Figuren)
Soweit ließt sich das nicht schlecht, Frage bleibt dann noch ob Dreadball selbst im Anschluss eine Neuauflage mit neuen Figuren bekommt.
Bin gespannt. Sieht solide aus. Wenn der Preis und die Regeln stimmen, bin ich dabei.
Ich hab mir gerade das Video Interwie mit Jervis Johnson dazu angesehen. Von den Regeln her soll es eine überarbeitet und vereinfachte Version der ursprünglichen Regeln sein. Meine persönliche Vermutung ist, das es wohl wie bei Blood Bowl, in Richtung Blitz Bowl geht.
Wobei Blitz Bowl und Blood Bowl aber sehr unterschiedliche Spiele sind. Vielleicht ist Blood im Vergleich zu Blood Bowl 7th ein passenderer Vergleich. Ich fände es zumindest schade, wenn sie das mMn sehr gelungene Regelwerk von Dreadball komplett über den Haufen werfen würden.
Insgesamt bin ich ziemlich skeptisch, was die Allstars-Spieler angeht … aber ich habe bei Dreadball und auch bei Blood Bowl die Starspieler weitesgehend weggelassen.
