Pre-Orders Now Open for Five Parsecs From Home: Planetfall

Pre-orders are now open for Five Parsecs From Home: Planetfall.

Coming soon from Modiphius, this new Five Parsecs From Home adventure is a solo and co-op scenario which presents a new world ‘filled with wonders, terrors, and difficult challenges’. Controlling ‘a crew of colonists, scientists and explorers from the mighty Unity of Humankind’, players will brave not only an alien world strewn with ‘crashed starships and dangerous ancient ruins’, but also ‘mysterious and hostile lifeforms’.

If that weren’t enough to contend with, players have to expand their new colony, research their alien surroundings and command their characters and troops in tactical miniatures combat. Over time, their colonists will improve their combat abilities, adapt alien tech to upgrade their armouries and augment their bodies.

Players will not only explore and chart the world around their colony as they explore, but also create their own encounter tables; these encounters will feature ‘bizarre and evolving table-generated lifeforms’ and ‘New types of enemies, including the psionic Slyn and ancient robotic guardians.’

Five Parsecs From Home: Planetfall is a miniatures agnostic game with a small model count. The combat rules have been designed to allow players to field their characters from Five Parsecs from Home, Tactics, and Bug Hunt, thus giving them the opportunity to ‘chain together the grandest space adventure [they] have ever experienced’.

Other features of this new adventure include:

An epic campaign system

Easy to follow rules for combat, allowing a single player to handle action quickly.

Copious tables designed to randomise artifacts, colony events, crises, and more.

14 mission types

A rogues gallery of enemies ranging from pirates and alien raiders to K’Erin landing parties and rival colonists

An in-depth research system

See the Modiphius website for more details.
