FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HOUSTON, Texas, June 22, 2021 – Advanced Primate Entertainment, LLC (APE Games) and Luminary Games today announce their agreement for APE Games to co-publish the English-language version of the Herocrafting game Ivion, with the intent to distribute the game worldwide.
Ivion is a 1v1 or 2v2 dueling card game where players represent valiant characters on a grid-based field of battle. Each card is a masterful strike, a powerful spell, or a strategic counter with the goal of reducing the foe’s life points to zero. Ivion brings the drama and excitement of card gaming to a new level. Game play is fast-paced, brutal, and immensely satisfying.
“I was immediately drawn to the stunning game art and graphic design.” said APE Games president Kevin Brusky. “The flexible Herocrafting System lets players customize decks to easily forge new powerful characters – a wonderful feature for busy people who want to play a variety of decks without the hassle of normal deck-building games. Three different stand-alone games offer an assortment of play styles for the different characters so players stay engaged and can continually try new ideas! It’s possible to easily build a staggering array of different decks by combining card sets from each game!”
Ivion will be available through distribution worldwide in late 2021.
