Agents of SMERSH, the cooperative 1 - 4 player storytelling game of espionage during the Cold War from author Jason Maxwell, is getting a new Epic Edition courtesy of publisher Everything Epic Games. Your mission should you choose to accept it is to track down the criminal mastermind Dr. Lobo who along with his henchmen is hellbent on global dominance. Featuring all new artwork and graphical design, this new edition of Agents of SMERSH has also undergone an overhaul in terms of streamlining some of the game mechanisms resulting in a more dynamic experience as described by the publisher:
“In Agents of SMERSH: Epic Edition, the most EPIC Narrative Storytelling game of all time, 1-4 players take on the roles of Elite Government Spies traveling the world in search of Dr. Lobo and his Henchmen on an EPIC mission to stop them from taking over the world. Players use their Advanced Skills, Top Secret Spy Gear, and Allies as they traverse exotic locations in order to locate Dr. Lobo and his Henchmen. A simple dice mechanic is utilized to resolve encounters.
Our Epic Edition takes Agents of SMERSH to a whole new level by focusing on the most Epic part of the game - The Story - while giving the graphic design a fresh upgrade and streamlining some of the older mechanics to provide a more focused, engaging experience. For example, where you travel to on the world map now provides you with different bonuses and upgrades amongst the many hundreds of unique encounters. Instead of collecting Intel just to win the game, you now collect it to locate and encounter Dr. Lobo’s Henchmen, and eventually Dr. Lobo himself. Henchmen and Dr. Lobo have their own individual “Choose your Own Adventure-like” stories and encounters. Defeat one or all of the Henchmen first and you’ll gain an advantage against Dr. Lobo in the End Game.
Did you defeat Dr. Lobo? Are you sure? In the Epic Edition of SMERSH, there may be more than one Dr. Lobo. So it seems . . . something strange is going on in the world.”
