Back in September NECA acquired the majority of the assets of WizKids, Inc., from The Topps Company, Inc., including the award-winning Clix family of games. What does that mean for horror fans? Two potentially awesome new games: Gremlins: Gizmo’s Great Escape and Freddy vs. Jason: Forest of Fear. Read on for more details on each.

The Gremlins are based on the Clix sculpts from NECA‘s figure line, and Freddy vs. Jason looks like a direct re-release of the HorrorClix set, now repackaged to attract younger players. Both are movement-based strategy games that are easy to learn and quick to play.

Gremlins: Gizmo’s Great Escape:

Gizmo has been cornered in the kitchen by a gang of angry Gremlins. Play as Gizmo and try to make your way to safety, or play as Stripe and try to catch that pesky fur-ball once and for all!

Gremlins: Gizmo’s Great Escape is a collector’s edition game that includes everything two players need to play right out of the package. It contains six high quality collectible 3D miniatures, game cards, and game map.

Freddy vs. Jason: Forest of Fear:

Play as Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees, the two most horrifying movie villains of all time. Hunt your victims through a nightmarish maze of woods.

Freddy vs. Jason: Forest of Fear is also a collector’s edition game that includes everything two players need to play right out of the package. It contains six high quality collectible 3D miniatures, game cards, game tokens, and game map.
