Hello KrosFans!
Today we are back in Spain. Let me introduce you... Alejandro!
"I discovered the game because I used to love watching a YouTube channel called “Geek and Sundry”, specifically the section called “TableTop” and presented by the great actor “Will Wheaton” who many will know be-cause now he usually makes cameos in the "Big Bang Theory" (I would like to point I do not like this show).
In this section, “Will Wheaton” played board games with some people from the entertainment world or from the United States’ geek world and sometimes even the same creator of the game was occupying the table.
Well, one of those games, which was played in a special they did live at one of the board game fairs in that country almost 3 years ago, was Krosmaster Arena.
I immediately fell in love with the game, the miniatures, the style of play ... I had always wanted to start with a collectable board game, but never had enough money or time to get into the world (I used to play the LCG Game of Thrones game with P&P cards ), but I decided after hatching it that this game had to be the one.
The game didn't arrive to my city until a few months later when, honestly, I didn't even remember it. Right away when I saw it I thought: "I need to buy this now", and that's what I did.
I asked in my local store if there were tournaments and they told me that they were going to do one in a few weeks and, at the same time, there was an association in the city that also started organizing tournaments and people loved the game.
Once I knew this, I told them to sign me up for the tournament, which I wanted to try (it was the first time in my life that I attended a tournament in a store).
At this point, I also discovered the great animation series "Wakfu" and both, my partner and I, were instantly captivated by (I should also mention is a must-see together with the series "The treasures of kerubim" and its OVAs and subsequent films). After watching them I couldn’t detach myself from the game, since I had become fond of the characters of the animated series and its rich universe.
If I have to choose something I like about the game, there are lots of things I really like about it:
- The team’s customization (I’m always trying to find ways of playing non-played miniatures).
- How different every match is depending on the Demonic Rewards, The maps, the starting position of the minis...etc.
- One thing I’m always mentioning is that the game is easy to learn, hard to master. It has enough complexity to be a really great competitive game when you start digging into the different mechanics.
- And of course...looks really cool while set on a table!
Regarding the community aspect, I've spent some of my best moments playing board games at krosmaster tournaments, making great friendships that went beyond the game (from my point of view this is what really matters while playing a boardgame). I can't say that every moment was a good one in the community environment, but if there is something really positive it is that most of the players have been united in the idea of supporting Krosmaster no matter what and I joined KIC with the idea of finally giving the game the treatment we all know the game deserves.
I’ll be part of the Competitive game developers - Supported Formats and analysis of the metagame unity. This topic will be dedicated to evaluating the activity of the official formats as well as the creation of an unofficial one where we will invest our efforts in optimizing it.
As surprising as this could be, Vampyro or Anathar are not my favourite ones. If we speak about how cool a miniature is, Shak Shaka will always be my choice. Speaking about which one is the profile I like playing most (this is a hard choice) mine will probably be Mint King or Moon."
