Within tactical gameplay, you will take up the role of a hunter fueled by Lament (sign Grimcoven with your fellow hunters) and go on a modular boss battle. During the combat, strategically use dice allocation to move around the board, fire up different combos, and gather Lament to grow in strength. Build your character in roguelike fashion and try to claim the ultimate prize!

I really like the different environmental set-up cards, and how those add some cool elements of randomness to each scenario. That was by far my favorite thing about the game.
Me too! I think that was a smart design choice and makes the scenarios much more fun on future plays as you get more experienced with the game. Thanks for watching!
SUGGESTION: Please tell us how MUCH space the solo set up takes for the games you review. For example, at 12:27, You have everything laid out so you could tell us how much space this set up takes on your table. I know there are prototypes but tbh when games get to you, they are mostly finished and just have some minor updates in the end. The biggest issue is that when people ask you days, weeks or months later about table space, you might not have any idea what it was. So, in the future, letting us how much space the solo set up takes in your videos would be SO HELPFUL in assisting us making a better-informed decision. TLDR, so during set up videos saying something like 'This solo set up sits on a 36" by 30" area' would be PERFECT. Many people play on desks with limited space vs a table that might not be accessible due to family needs or pets. Thanks
Thanks for the support and suggestion Kaijuh! I use a 3x4 playmat for all my games. I’ve never had to go over that size of a space. All games filmed on the channel use that size. This one solo is about 3x3 comfortably.
@@RollingSolo Thanks, so is it unreasonable to ask to simply say during future set up videos 'This solo set up sits on a 33" by 25" area'. "About 3x3" isnt too helpful for people that play on desks with limited space vs a table that might not be accessible due to family needs or pets. Thanks
We need the playthrough soon Adam. I promise I won't sleep through this one! Lol😂 Need to make up my mind whether this game is for me! Looks close enough to death may die which is one of my favorites. Also the theme is definitely inspired by Bloodborne, which is my favorite video game.
😂🤣 I’ll keep you up! Hope it helps you decide and yes indeed this one has the ‘feel’ of those other two while playing completely different. Possibly far more aggressive and the learning curve on strategy is higher.
It’s up there but it’s one of those games where you have to keep your eyes on every nasty thing coming down the pipe to you. You also start to become a bit smarter about things each time too.
The player boards look amazing but honestly, they are a bit CHUNGUS. I wouldn't have mind them being 20--30% smaller. As of now they are half the size of the map lol
Great video :) Can't wait for a gameplay! Can I ask you a question? Standard version will have singla layer boards and lack of miniatures. Miniatures will definitely immprove the immersion in this game, but according to what you already saw, playing on a single layer board could ba a problem in holding all of the tokens etc. and so makes it less comfortable?
Thank you! For me I want the dual layer boards. I just like knowing everything is in place and less chance of things moving out of place. The minis are icing on the cake for immersion. See you in the gameplay video!
Looking at the Gamefound page, there are multiple response cards for a boss. Do we only select 1 similar to final action or do these all get shuffled together into the boss action deck?
@@RollingSolo yep I was referring to the Boss Response card (not Boss Final Action card). In the Gamefound page, they list multiple boss response cards and I'm not sure how you are meant to select them (See 9:10 of your video). Is there a specific boss response card you are meant to use for a specific Wanted Card?
@@RollingSolo Ah I see, thanks you!!! One last thing and thank you for being a champ for answering my questions haha - I assume the Boss Stat Cards are tied to the Wanted/Scenario cards too?

This looks SUPER COOL!
I can’t wait for the play through!!
No way I’m telling wifey about this one, I can tell you right now, I’m all in on this one!
Hey Moe! Thanks for checking this one out my friend. More to come in the future! 😉
Can’t wait!….sooner the better!
🤩

"About 3x3" isnt too helpful for people that play on desks with limited space vs a table that might not be accessible due to family needs or pets. Thanks
@@kaijuh I agree with you. Knowing more accurate measurements would be better than just an estimate
Sure, I can add that in. Cheers! 😄
@@RollingSolo Thanks. Looking forward to seeing that in future set up videos. Will make my decision easier.
Visually stunning and I love the theme. Pumped to see your playthrough of this one!
Theme is a win for me too. See you then! 🔥
🔥🔥 GRIMCOVEN REVENGE PLAY IS UNDERWAY! STAY TUNED FOR IT TOMORROW! 🔥🔥
I"m diggin the narrator for the flavor text. Great acting!
Think he nailed it! Sets the mood well 🤩

Interesting game. looking forward to the playthrough.
Hi Joel! Happy to hear this one is of interest to you. More to come!
Looking forward to your playthrough. I already watched 2 playthrough‘s and both got smoked big time🤪😂
Oh really? 🤣
Well the pressure is on now!
I also saw 2…..probably same ones….they got crushed!
@@RollingSolo 🤣 i guess you can relax... this game is really not finished and the difficulty is way too hard😆
It’s up there but it’s one of those games where you have to keep your eyes on every nasty thing coming down the pipe to you. You also start to become a bit smarter about things each time too.
@@RollingSolo well i am very curious about your take on this game 🙌 when is your playthrough go live?
I was waiting for this!
Wait no more! 🔥
The player boards look amazing but honestly, they are a bit CHUNGUS. I wouldn't have mind them being 20--30% smaller. As of now they are half the size of the map lol
That’s a fair point. They could be slimmed more. I like that idea 👏🏼
Smellin like this could replace Journeys of Middle Earth for me
Happy to help you find another journey to go on! See you in the next gameplay video. 🙂

@@RollingSolo I was afraid you will say something like that :D In that case I cross my fingers that they will add a stretch pay :D
@@jarosawborzecki7178 Only do what is comfortable for you. Minor convenience is not worth long term stress.
@@RollingSolo Sundropped for ultra immersion...
100%!
Looking at the Gamefound page, there are multiple response cards for a boss. Do we only select 1 similar to final action or do these all get shuffled together into the boss action deck?
Only one final boss card is used. Shuffle options and place one facedown without looking.
@@RollingSolo yep I was referring to the Boss Response card (not Boss Final Action card). In the Gamefound page, they list multiple boss response cards and I'm not sure how you are meant to select them (See 9:10 of your video). Is there a specific boss response card you are meant to use for a specific Wanted Card?
Ooo I see. Per each scenario/boss they will list out specific names cards to use with that boss.
@@RollingSolo Ah I see, thanks you!!! One last thing and thank you for being a champ for answering my questions haha - I assume the Boss Stat Cards are tied to the Wanted/Scenario cards too?
Any idea if there will be a standee version for this? Looks great.
From what I've read the standard edition will have standees. The minis are a gamefound exclusive addon.
There is a $59 basic pledge with standees and a $109 deluxe basic pledge with minis
Correct!
Good luck Hunter Adam, may it be successful. I hope to report your victory to your uncle. 🫡🫡
🤣 Pressure is mounting!
@@RollingSolo Hehe, since you could get a deputy gunslinger, you want to say uncle sent Paula to help you?
I’ll take any help I can get haha
