For instance, if the player takes over a dam they have the ability to trigger a flood that will wipe out nearby territories and everything contained in them. ![]() Volcanoes and dams can be used to drastically alter the game map. With the addition of multiple maps in RISK: Factions comes a dynamic element to those maps. ![]() Although a "fast battle" option is available during combat, players can witness comical attack animations to lend a bit of entertainment to the sometimes boring task of dice rolling. In addition to classic dice rules, players will be able to trigger "overkill" moments if they correctly roll the dice: a roll of a double six will destroy all enemy forces. The player with the highest dice role on each successive die will win, while ties favor the defending player. In the classic tradition of RISK, players will duel head-to-head by rolling dice to determine the victor. These vary from building an airport on a chosen territory, to the ability of using an extra attack die during combat. By completing an objective, a player is rewarded with a certain bonus. These objectives are shared across all players in the game, so competition is high to complete an objective first. In a two player game there is a total of five objectives, while that number will increase as the amount of players increases. The objective-based rules revolve around victory conditions that require the completion of three objectives while holding onto a "capital city", chosen by each player at the start of the game. With the help of Hasbro's streamlined 2008 RISK rules, RISK: Factions objective-based rules make for a much quicker game. While traditional RISK rules are playable on RISK: Factions, a new rules set has been created to make the game more friendly to the console market. Gameplay A three-player match on the traditional world map The Xbox Live Arcade version of RISK: Factions also includes two avatar awards that are unlocked by completing the campaign: a gray t-shirt with the game's logo and Generalissimo Meow on it, and a wearable robot head. The cartoonish art and animation for the factions and cutscenes were created by Powerhouse Animations (previously known for the first two episodes of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness). The game also includes a five level single-player campaign, each introducing a new faction (through an animated cutscene) and unlocking new maps for custom games. Both Classic and Factions modes can be played offline (against other players and A.I.) and online. ![]() Along with the original ruleset and traditional world map, the game includes a special "Factions" mode that builds upon the ruleset from the 2008 version of the board game with new gameplay elements (such as special territories), new maps, and unique cartoonish factions (including humans, cats, robots, zombies, and yeti).
