Xenoshyft: Immolation announced amid Dreadmire campaign

The crowdfunding campaign for Xenoshyft: Dreadmire is alive and well, currently over 600% of their goal and climbing! In the middle of shattering most of it's established stretch goals, Cool Mini or Not announced via campaign update another expansion for Xenoshyft, currently as an optional purchase and presumably available for future retail. Xenoshyft: Immolation is a fire-themed expansion that, like Dreadmire has showcased, adds it's own unique mechanics to your opposition - in this instance, dealing with mounting fire.

When facing these deadly adversaries, the players will not only have to worry about their raw strength and cunning, but the level of Immolation around the base as well- Enemies will gain unique and special abilities based on how hot the crucible has become. Should players allow it to become too high the very Base itself will begin to suffer damage as slag and fire run rampant!

Adding an expansion during a Kickstarter campaign is not new territory for Cool Mini or Not, and in the past has been a successful way of "turning up the heat", driving up funding, ramping up campaign attention, and adding more bang for the backers buck. It's interesting that Immolation is continuing the design trend of not just adding more monsters, troops, and items to the game, but also having it's own unique mechanism to have to deal with and manage - a new spice for every addition, as it were. Xenoshyft is an awesome cooperative experience, and I for one welcome adding a bit more kick to it.
