I hope the check is in the mail from Battle Systems. I already own everything Core Space related but almost bought it again after watching this.
LOL! Fantastic comment - I just forwarded that to one of the main guys in the company it was so good! :)
It has to be one of the best looking table top games out there,I love it.
It's a beauty, that's for sure!

Just got this as well to play co-op with my son. Can't wait to get it all together and get playing. Great review
You'll have a great time. :)
Always great to see your enthusiasm! Personally I think the terrain on the first Core Space box looked better than the one from the new kickstarter...
Different styles!
Thanks so much for the review, this just looks awesome, you convince me! This is what Fallout Wasteland Warfare should have been. Kudos to the Battle Systems team for also scratching the itch for a Mass Effect game. The expansion content looks great.
Nice to see some of the older videos are still be watched! 🥃
Oh, and a lapel mic would really help with vids, cutting down on echo abd all that. Give you a smooth radio DJ voice ;)
I know - I apologise, I've got one but have had some problems with recording levels. I'll try to sort it out in future!
Perfect timing as I was checking out your old battle report video on this and then backed the new one.
I heard its Mass Effect x Borderlands, after seeing reviews and gameplay it's seems right up my street.
Happy to see some mods you gave done, clear bases and a game mat?
My battle report is fun to watch but we were a bit dodgy with the rules and made at least one big mistake. We still had fun though. :) And that game mat comes with the starter set!
@@EsotericOrderGamers I Iike dodgy. And fun!
I loved your original battle report with Will. I backed the new KS campaign and will check out their web store to get the original starter set.
Excellent, glad you enjoyed it. I wish this pandemic would end so I could make some new batreps with Will (he lives in another country)!
Fantastic looking game. Exactly what I've been after in a miniatures game and best of all it's a Sci-Fi theme which I absolutely love. Years ago when Warhammer 40k 1st edition came out(yep don't say it.)The game was originally a focused skirmish game with more emphasis on the characters in my opinion. Over time it kind of evolved into an absolutely nuts game of who can fit the most miniatures on a table and blow one another away kind of game that's become WAY TO EXPENSIVE, more about amassing as many miniatures as you can quickly to outdo other players and that age old theme, endless war. Well to be honest the fun aspect for me personally is just not there anymore. In sharp contrast this game looks more like what I'm after. A bit of skirmish fighting but mixed in with adventure and varying goals. I'm really looking forward to getting the starter sets for this game and giving it a go. Love the instant 3D terrain, the idea of expandable sets and ongoing adventure as opposed to just never ending shoot outs. It's also terrific, that you have everything you need in the base set and can expand as and when your ready. That's superb. The layout of the board puts focus onto the game and it's certainly a massive level above say Space Hulk, which is an OK stand alone game but is the same theme when ever you play it. With this and all the amazing expansions, it really lifts it up a notch and makes it different each time you play it. No doubt you can setup that board in so many different ways. You could get someone else to connect it all up and have something completely different to what you even thought, making for great variation and new excitement. This is going right to the top of my game purchase list along with XIA: Legends Of A Drift System. I think what makes this game so many levels above other sci-fi miniatures games that have come out in recent years(a good example would be 'Infinity') is the completeness of the game where you don't need to go investing in more props and terrain, extra miniatures etc right away as it's all here in a great starter set. Infinity for me is certainly a much better, return to normality, sane Sci-Fi miniatures game and I'm glad it's doing well but for me the drama was finding others who would get into it like I would have, as that's the only real world way for you to play it. With Core Space, I'm pretty sure I could play it solo by not being biased about the foes when they take a turn. Looking forward.
I think you'll enjoy it, and I know what you mean about Rogue Trader, my original book is over there on the shelf! 👍
am just going to paint my up this week cant wait to play
Thought about picking up this game, but I just got so much other stuff on the go at the moment that I can't justify the purchase if it's just going to sit in the box. The solo play option is very tempting though. Maybe later! That being said, I have recently purchased some of their other terrain to use in Rangers of Shadow Deep / Mordheim. Cheers Peter!
I'll be showcasing some of their fantasy terrain too soon, it's excellent.
Im having a tough time considering this a review. Its more like an overview. Good video. Thanks.
Sorry about that. Like all things on my channel, it's my personal take on a game that I enjoy. I don't set out to create videos that carefully examine the pros and cons of games, as you could tell by the few numbers of reviews. The EOG is a channel and website that celebrates and supports the kind of games I love. There are plenty of review channels out there like the Dice Tower or whatever, I suggest you check one out. :)
@@EsotericOrderGamers Thanks for the information. That was the 1st video I saw of yours. It was linked on the Firstborn update.
@@Zac-Hansen Check out my other videos, and don't forget to download my Core Space rules summary and reference! :)
I think I might have another look at the Kickstarter. Interesting.....
The reviews on BGG are very good. Most people give a rating and that's it, for this game the reviews have people's thoughts and comments, that sold me.
@@mylor1066 Much better to get insight than a score. Cheers.
Bit the bullet spent the money after listening to your review. No regrets great game, even solo play.
Excellent! Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Havn't watched the video yet. But i must know. Does that terrain actually come with the core game? If so that's amazing.
Yes it does - the mat and most of that terrain (apart from a few bits, most notably the round transport pad, that are from expansions).
@@EsotericOrderGamers Argh it looks so fun , but i have so many , but it looks so fun.... Guess i'm suffering from a board gamer's eternal dilemma.
battlesystems.co.uk/product/fantasy-dungeon-room-furniture/ Now i'm so sad. For that price i would have bought at least 3. Nice to learn they sell stuff like this as well.
@@Littlebean-t2t I'll be showing off some of the fantasy building terrain soon!
The setup and teardown looks like a nightmare. This is certainly not the game that one can easily bring and play at FLGS, more for at home play
Well, that's just the price you pay for such a gorgeous setup. It's not trying to be a quick and easy filler game! :) I just set it up before my opponent arrives for game night (which I do for all my games anyway).
Everything stores back into the box. The only thing you need to set up again is the walls. But all the furniture, machines, lockers etc. are a one time set up, and Battle systems have done a fantastic job at providing cardboard separators in the box so that every piece of the starter set can be stored inside the box.
Where did you get the clear bases?
Litko.
@@EsotericOrderGamers got it. I cant decide on pulling the trigger on either Core Space, Mythic Battles, or Tanares Adventures. My brain is gonna blow up lol
@@PablowingUrMind I don't know Tanares Adventures, but the first two are very different games and both worth adding to your collection. If I had to choose I'd go Core Space though (but that's just me).
I red that the game has 10 missions.Maybe I'm wrong. But if so,is that enough?
The are 10 missions in the core game (including an entire 9 game campaign), and there are heaps more on the website. Then there's another campaign in the new Dangerous Days book, and more in the new First Born set. There's enough to keep you going for ages.
@@EsotericOrderGamers ok thank you
