Description
BattleCON: Unleashed is the storage box you've been waiting for. At 17x13x8.5" (approx. 43x33x21cm) this box is being built to hold up to 110 fighter tuckboxes, a game board, and rulebook.
In addition to a big storage box for your fighters, Unleashed comes with tuckboxes and base sets to bring BattleCON: War and BattleCON: Fate up to the high component standard set in Trials. In total, it includes:
30 tuckboxes (for all fighters from Fate and War, plus Borneo and Juto)
30 extra Base sets (for all fighters from Fate and War, plus Borneo and Juto—Force Special Actions are included)
~95 cards to Update Fate, War, and Trials
All stretch and social goal content unlocked during the campaign.
Unleashed includes ten solo fighters (Anath, Andrus, Claus & Wyndhal, Dolores, Eliza, Evil Hikaru, Lucius, Rheye, Takeshi, Victor), and another four solo fighters (Jin, Merjoram, Oriax, Raritti) were available as an add-on during the Kickstarter campaign. One additional solo fighter (Himel) was made available in the Empyreal: Far Corners Pledge Manager alongside the Grand Chronicle and errata cards for BattleCON: Unleashed.

Quotes (from this video)
- basically the best iteration of a fighter that i can think of right it's it just emulates the 2d fighter like perfectly in like board game form
- out of out of all the 1v1 games i think this one might be my favorite just because of the plethora of options you have especially at this point what was it 90 90 different fighters
- my favorite aspect is the open knowledge
- coin phrase analysis paralysis definitely comes into play here
- this game like many other 1v1s is getting into your opponent's head what would they do what makes the most sense out of the options that they have
- ultimately i love this game when it says purest form like the arena stuff oh it's neat i just i i just i love it when it's clean in itself i don't like all the extra [ __ ] i always feel like kind of bogs it down
- i will say i i do think that that one detrimental mistake in an hour long fight is kind of enough to keep it from being a perfect game but let me give it a 9.5
- it's just up there it's so it's not that complaint isn't going to drop it down the point so it's a 9.5 for me
