If you've kept up with the indie scene at all within the past few months, chances are you know about Armageddon Empires. It's a nice mix of board game, trading card game, and turn-based strategy game that the developer, Vic Davis, keeps adding on to with patches and mini-expansions. It's a game with a lot of addictiveness. It's also very frustrating at times. So in that sense, it is exactly like a trading card game. But let's take a deeper look at the game, shall we?

There's a new strategy game taking the internet by storm, and it's called Armageddon Empires. Fusing turn-based strategy, traditional board game methodology, and collectible card games, it's an extremely deep and amazingly fun game. Vic Davis recently sat down with Big Download to discuss his game and what it is like being an indie developer making a living off his work.

BD: Just for the record, who are you and what is your current job?

Vic D: My name is Vic Davis and I'm currently a full time indie game developer. Up until just recently I was also doing occasional contract work but since the launch and success of my first game Armageddon Empires, I've been focusing full time on indie work.

The future doesn't look so hot, what with the many settings emphasizing the futility of life and how the world is going to end. But if the future is as fun as Armageddon Empires, bring on the apocalypse. A turn-based strategy game with card game elements, Armageddon Empires has finally started to pick up steam in sales and recognition thanks to its incredibly deep gameplay and rich game world.

It is with pride that we here at Big Download offer you the Armageddon Empires demo through our download service.
