Harakiri: Ronin Pledge is a multi-campaign 
cooperative board game of adventures and fantasy for up to 4 players. 
After a bloody civil war, the Emperor was banished and the empire fell 
into the darkness, governed under the tyranny of the Dark Shogun.
Pick one hero, each of them with their background and skill tree, to 
embark with your gaming group on an epic adventure. Travel through 
Japan, where you will be able to trade, visit shrines to increase your 
divine connection with your associated god, learn about the story of 
each character and many more, in an evolving map which will react to 
your decisions failures or successes.
Each hero shall have a customized board with many options to decide your
 way of playing. Will you focus on divine powers, unleashing a 
devastating God Mode to use as a final option sacrificing your own body 
on the process? Or would you prefer to unveil your own history via 
personal missions? Many options are laid before you and choices will 
have to be made along the way.
The game will include many travel events where your hero could go into 
the magical forest of the Tengus, travel to cursed villages and battle 
with the help of his blade the terrifying creatures of Japanese 
mythology… Some of these event cards can be turned into even more 
dangerous events depending on your hero decisions. Will you travel 
following safer roads to avoid potential conflicts or will you choose to
 go through more dangerous sideways to gain some precious time needed to
 achieve your goals before the Dark Shogun keeps on spreading his 
influence and power all over the land?
Besides this, the combat system will also allow you to choose your way 
of playing. You will be able to decide if you want to use heavier and 
more damaging blows or faster ones, giving you extra time for other 
purposes. Also, you will be able to choose if you want to focus during 
your attack, allowing you to go through the enemies’ defense or diminish
 it for the rest of the battle. But beware, because a failed attack 
could even lead to a terrible counter from one of the many japan 
folklore-based members of the Shogun Horde. 
Not only that, but also 
during each and every attack the energy of the kami could give even more
 power if you are lucky enough to get the right combination from the 
yin-yang symbol dices. Finally, the dice-based skill system will also 
allow for powerful moves during your turn, giving passive or active 
effect to choose from. But beware, cause the more powerful a skill is, 
the harder it will be to use it again, adding a tactical layer to the 
game. 
Besides all the mechanics, we think that a good story is a crucial part 
of immersion and fun, and for that we are honored to have one of the top
 fantasy Spanish writers, David Velasco, in our team. Get ready to dive 
into a branching and evolving story, where decisions can deeply affect 
the outcome of upcoming sessions.
Regarding art production we count on well-known artists and illustrators
 who have made fantastic pieces of art to recreate the Japanese culture.
 Our sculptors have created incredible minis to get a deeper immersion 
in the extensive world of Harakiri.
Hone your blade and fight for your clan like a hero and get involved in the wonderful lands of Harakiri!
