Description
The Incredible Baron combines real time strategy gameplay with over 45 collectible animal species in a tale of exploration, science, and betrayal. As Baron, players explore an uncharted island, documenting its species and using their unique abilities to defeat nefarious adversaries in the always cut throat world of science. But as the adventure unfolds, players may question the credibility of Baron's incredible boasts, leaving only their tactical skill and the know-how of Baron's crew as the deciding factors in Baron's fate.
History
Baron began in 2011 when Victor, the founder of FlatRedBall, enlisted the help of a recently out of work game designer (David) and a fourth grade science teacher (Stephen) to create the next FlatRedBall title. Baron represents their best effort to escape the tumultuous yoke of the game industry at large and seek refuge under the banner of indie games. Development of the game was slow and steady, as all three core team members have other day jobs. However, after a successful Kickstarter, The Incredible Baron is now available on Steam, iOS, Android and the Windows Store. With luck, Baron will help the team pare down part time jobs in order to focus more time on their next game project.
