I bought the game in August and got it a few days ago, I am really enjoying it solo and I'd like to try it with other players. I think they got the Dark Souls spirit right this time, it's fun and easy to learn and play (but still difficult if you have bad luck or make noob mistakes). I recommend this purchase to Dark Souls fans for sure.
Looking forward to try this game love the video game series.
Thanks guys! Finally found reviewers that like the same kind of games I do. I have bough 5 games because of your reviews and so far the five are amazing (Fantasy Realms, Bunny kingdoms, Whistle Stop, Clank In Space and Tiny Epic Quest).
At about 13:00 did anyone notice the card has the wrong name? That item is called "Human Dregs." Steamforged -_-
Good video & review, thanks!
Great review. I hope the mini boardgame gets some more love and gets better with expansions. Hopefully steamforged is commited to release updated versions of their rulebooks. To be fair. Minis and ccg'ish rules usually needs to be in version 3.5 before they are awsome.
This review made me decide to open this game instead of selling off. Was very disappointed with the boardgame, here's hoping the card game is a winner
mussolini headkick so how was it?
CettoTheCesco Much better than the boardgame. The grind isn't tedious, the deckbuilding is good and the boss fights are fun. Hard to win, but that's what you expect from the DS series.
The rulebook is terrible though, which is a shame. The components are really good and expansions in future is very possible.
Doesn't have a tonne of replayability, but played infrequently this is a good game.
I remember awhile back commenting on this game on another video thinking Nah, boring.
It actually looks interesting now I've watched this video.
Wish list maybe.
Steve Carell reviewing board games these days.
I have a rules question. During the Player Activations the book states you can swap between characters freely. Does this only refer to turn order? Or are the turns more fluid?
A: P1 Must take entire turn then P2.
or
B: P1 Can attack then P2 attack then P1 move.
The only time you can freely exchange cards is at a Bonfire.
I never mentioned cards. I was referring to turn order.
attacking and movement can only be done once per turn for every character in which if 2 characters want to swap places, both have to use their movement. These aside, turn order is completely optional and is decided by the players etc. B that you mentioned.
I wish this video was a full game demo so I understand how to play the game , I swear I didn't understand how to play the game from this video at all.
question here. If you have a 2 stamina card but the action required for a card is only 1 stamina, can you still make the action or you need the exact number of stamina?
Thanks!
Guillaume Guimond-Croteau yes you can but in essence you are "overpaying" to use the action.
Should i get the board game or card game?
I like this game... I really do, BUT I have played alone a few times, and I always reached a point where one character just don't do anything at all (usually the Wizard).
Because I'm alone, it's not such a big deal, because I do everything else with all the other characters, but if I was playing with a group of friends, I think that character's player will not enjoy too much the game. So... maybe the problem is about how the basic deck is constructed and/or evolved in time. Any advice?
If you only consider your character attacking as doing something, then theres no solution becuz randomization is needed. its not like there's 10 kings of spades in a poker deck. If everyone's player can attack every turn then it becomes a routine and theres no variation in the game, thus the game has no replay value. If there's a group of friends you would need to discuss the tactics anyway thus I dont see a player not doing anything at all. Just my opinion >
A huge gameplay element in Dark Souls is having one chance to reclaim lost souls if you die. Is that implemented here? Also you only lose souls when you die in the video game, not equipment or treasure.
When you complete an Encounter, the Souls and Treasures gained go into a Loot Pile. Once you complete a further Encounter, a new Loot Pile is created, while the previous Loot Pile is transferred into your Inventory.
The answer to your question is: no. If you die you cannot reclaim what you lost in any scenario
Steamforged screwed up the board game massively in my view. As a huge DS video game fan, it was a huge disappointment, sold off my pledge after 3 plays. Don't think i'll trust them again with this IP. I'll give it a try if someone else i know has it, or at a convention as a demo. But they will be hard pressed for me to spend money on any of their products again. Great video as always though guys.
How did they screw it up? Hard mode: make no mention of the delayed DLC
in my opinion the random loot system is what kills it. We farm and farm souls, only to go back to town and flip the top card, and oh look it's a downgrade or item no one can use yet. Really drags the game out a bit, and does not feel like the video game at all. Sure there are house rules, but i shouldn't have to house rule the game :)
Neadric If it werent for the random loot system youd literally just roll the game though, its easy to know what weapons are good so the moment you know which weapon is good youd just always buy that one and then steamroll the game every time
true enough, i understand it from a balance perspective, but other dungeon crawls have done better loot systems. have it with tiered loot as in, level 1 loot available until you beat the mini boss (with higher level stuff possible from chests) and level two after the first boss, and so on, with like 5-10 items publicly view able at the "vendor" so at least you know your choices instead of playing the slot machine loot every time. Obviously these are just examples, and i don't claim to be a game designer, but when everything else about the game feels like "Dark Souls" the loot system feels out of place thematically, because in all the games when you went back to town and spoke to a vendor, they didn't have random items every time.
And as i'm sure you know from playing the video game, you can have the best items in the world, and still get wrecked by everything in that game. Which i think is what the dice are supposed to simulate me thinks. They clearly poured a lot of thought into everything else in the game, the "big stack of random cards" feels like an after thought.
Looking through their forums when it first released, there were countless posts on house ruling the loot system to make it palatable, and make the game not a 3 hour grind session.
but that's just me, if you enjoy the game great, and i REALLY do hope that i'm wrong about the card game. I tried really hard to enjoy the board game (partially since i backed it) and just could not enjoy it in it's current state without house rules.
Is it me or it just look as 'VS System' game with the coop twist?? lack of imagination by SFG??
What's VS System? Is it that Card Game System that used superhero characters liked Batman and Spiderman?
Looking at all the cards in this game, it looks more like “Dark Souls 3 the Card Game” than “Dark Souls the Card Game” since there is more in it from the third game. That’s a bit disappointing since the title suggests the first Dark Souls game, which is the one in the series I prefer over 3.
Eh, guessing this will suck as much as the board game. Seems to have okay production value but the game is just bland.
Honestly, it just botters me that both the Dark Souls board game and this one just have ''okay'' production value, I personally expect more with such an IP.
I think Steamforged shouldn't be able to make Dark Souls games. Give it to someone else or someone new
Looks a lot more complicated and fiddly than I expected. I avoided the main board game for that reason.
It just all looks... sort of bland. I know looks aren't everything (as in life), but it just looks... bland.
Wht dark souls video game was u playing where u loose the stuff u find the only thing u loose is yur souls u don't loose the stuff u find
Another Steamforged Games flop. Dark Souls the board game was an overhyped and overhyped disaster of a game.
Have you played this one yet?
Care to explain how or why? Or do you just like to spout off?
Played it, an overwhelmingly mediocre experience from start to finish.
Could you offer some constructive criticism as to why you feel this way?
@@jrhobson20 Apparently not.
Wow, this looks so f'n boring. Thanks for the heads-up guys, crisis averted.
Metal is Life it's actually quite good fun if you like tactical games, it's very hard though sometimes.
Well looks can be deceiving to an unfamiliar mind. With that thought, what is it that you find interesting to the psyche?
