It's great to see a full playthrough of this game.. I played Legacy of Dragonholt and while there was no doubt it was a serious achievement with some very cool stuff, and some intriguingly different point of view storytelling, in the end it left me flat and felt overly drawn out. And so when looking at the Artisans kickstarter, there was so much that looked so interesting, and so much content, but I could not bring myself to back it for fear that the actual meat of the game might not hold up, especially the combat heavy scenarios. It feels like it may take a while before we get some serious reviews of this game from people who have played enough of it to comment on the game. Really looking forward to hear thoughts of people to see if this is for me. -jesse
@@OneStopCoopShop Yeah. I was surprised BGG said it was best at 4. I'm guessing that's people who don't want to miss any content. And/or those who didn't get the recharge pack to replay with the other two characters.
There are things in there that are used in 2player campaigns that would also need to be reset. So unfortunately a recharge kit would be needed after every campaign. Which is planned for 27 days worth, but could go longer if desired.
I like that they have a recharge pack. I'm not a fan of legacy games. Which is odd because I don't get to play much anyway so a good campaign run might still be good value! lol I really need to sort out my thinking on this issue! 😂😂 Thanks for showcasing Artisans, Colin and hope you and Monika are enjoying it so far. It looks delightful with interesting characters. Even if you don't make any more playthroughs, it would be cool if you could do an impressions video later on in the campaign, perhaps with Monika?
Ooohh good idea! The game has a lot of cool unique ideas and concepts too which is what makes it so good. Excited to delve into it more! Thanks for watching Paul!!
Amazing! i am checking out the videos as i would love to buy it. I bet you are after the whole adventure now, did you enjoy your time playing it? :) I am not sure if i had anyone to play it with though, do you think solo gaming through 2 players is worht it?
I'm not sure how far Colin got. Personally I didn't enjoy the combat sections much, and felt the mechanics were overcomplicated for the game with poor balance. So we quite after maybe 4-5 sessions. Solo play is a bit awkward. Solo combat is fine, but in the adventure section you'll be cross referencing back and forth between these super thick storybooks for each character. With multiplayer play, you each have your own book and it's a lot smoother.
Thanks for the playthrough! A couple of comments: When placing the reinforcements, I'm pretty sure you should have put out Arbalist #2. The fact that you had already defeated Arbalist #1 doesn't change the fact that this is the second Arbalist in the scenario. Also, when you used the Ready action at the start of round 2, why would you use a Boot/Plus die instead of one of your (many) Plus dice? The Boot/Plus is objectively better, since it can be used not only as a Plus, but also a Move, or a Move and a Plus. In addition, when talking about the Gnarling Cur's Chase Down ability, you said that getting a Threaten would cause you to do less damage with your attack. I think you're confusing it with Weaken. Threaten actually increases the damage you take when you are attacked. Lastly, when the Arbalist takes the Reposition action at the end of round 2, you said you weren't sure if they would move, but they in fact have to move, because you can't make a ranged attack when there is an enemy in a space adjacent to you.
Great sound effects! And I greatly appreciate this playthrough. The game is a lot more clear now.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
This is the best resource I've found so far - thanks for making this video!

Oh nice! I am playing with my wife too, feel like its a good 2 player experience!

Yup I agree. The map being one of them!
