'Doomtrooper' Kickstarter Funded In Less Than 2 Days

Doomtrooper is a card-based strategy game from the popular Mutant Chronicles universe franchise, taking place in the distant future after the relentless exploitation of Earth by megacorporations has forced mankind to a mass exodus to nearby planets.

Doomtrooper is a digital adaptation of the physical card game by the same name. Its revival was made possible thanks to childhood fan and founder of Secret Cow Level Justin Reynard (Fallout: New Vegas, Alpha Protocol, Dungeon Siege III), who actively sought out owners of the IP to make his dream project a reality. Together with Cabinet Entertainment and original designer Bryan Winter, Reynard has built a playable alpha and is turning to crowdfunding to make Doomtrooper all that it can be.

Mutant Chronicles takes place in the distant future after the relentless exploitation of Earth by megacorporations has forced mankind to a mass exodus to nearby planets. The survivors, plagued by disease and viruses in the new hostile environments, face yet another threat - the Dark Legion. As you select and lead a squad of highly trained specialists across the solar system, your only goal is the eradication of your enemies and anyone who isn’t your ally.


Elves, wizards, and dragons have reigned over collectible card games for long enough. Make room for demonic aliens, cybermechanical vehicles, and interplanetary chainsaw warfare ..

Doomtrooper has reached its Kickstarter goal less than 36 hours after the campaign began on Monday, September 25, and is now taking aim at its stretch goals.

The first stretch goals that Secret Cow Level and Cabinet Entertainment have lined up for Doomtrooper are card crafting, quests, and Linux support.

Secret Cow Level and Cabinet Entertainment are pleased to collaborate with Modiphius to bring Mutant Chronicles fans a special treat. If you have already backed Siege of the Citadel or Mutant Chronicles RPG on Kickstarter and decide to pledge toward Doomtrooper, you will receive an exclusive card back.

Eligible Kickstarter backers can look forward to alpha access to Doomtrooper when the campaign ends, as well as exclusive in-game rewards like custom card backs and classic card variants. Doomtrooper is planned to release on Windows and MacOS, with mobile platforms as a Kickstarter stretch goal.

Doomtrooper is part of the Mutant Chronicles universe, a sci-fi IP that spawned comics, novels, and even a feature film. Doomtrooper’s original form, a highly successful physical card game from the 90s, was translated into 15 languages, received 6 expansions, and spanned almost 200 million manufactured cards.
