Press release:
Paris, March 26th, 2024.
The Paris-based (France) indie games publisher The Arcade Crew (“The Last Spell”, “Infernax”, “Blazing Chrome”) and San Diego-based (CA, the US) indie games developer Tako Boy Studios LLC, are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just dropped the very first major content update (“A Perilous Pilfering”) for their retro-like RPG deckbuilder “Cross Blitz” (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam).

In celebration of today’s arrival, Cross Blitz will be 30% off its 19.99€ price throughout the Deckbuilders Fest Steam Sale (March 25 – April 1). Deckbuilding strategists and fans alike will meet the bold thief Quill and adventure with him in his dedicated three-chapter, narratively driven campaign “A Perilous Pilfering”.

A trailer detailing the hero and the update’s features is available here:

Quill’s desire to build a legacy for himself sees him braving increasingly dangerous heists, risking his well-being to score his next big payout. Though his devious talents are his only hope for paying his mounting debt, Quill’s underhanded skill set also helps him make ends meet for his beloved, struggling family. Bringing justice to his fellow common people by stealing from the upper class is a natural motivation for Quill, too.

Cross Blitz’s previous two ‘Fables’ campaigns feature the story of the fearless pirate Redcroft and his ordeal to win back his stolen freedom from a merciless princess; and the adventures of the famous pop star Violet in search for a way to unmask a mysterious doppelganger hijacking her stardom.
