This looks a lot like Descent Legends of the Dark with the app telling you what map tiles to place and what event tokens, chests, etc to place. Same with the dice having a success, use fatigue to make it a success, and lightning for whatever extra action to take. However, they added an initiative system and the heroes have more abilities. I just wonder if playing these types of games burns you out because it's the same thing over and over. As an aside, I'd love to see a top 10 dungeon crawlers video or top mechanisms used in dungeon crawlers. Who does it better? That kind of thing since it's come a long way from HeroQuest or Castle Ravenloft era.
I only played mansions of madness once. The app integration seems to be similar. What bugs me, is that you have to keep pausing to interact with the app and place new map tiles and other stuff quite often. Also having to roll dice and enter the result feels strange to me. The app might as well just roll for you. For me an ideal app implementation would just show setup, read story and handle events + rewards
If you go on corvus belli TH-cam channel (edit: and look at their latest video), they anser this question ;) 120eur core pledge 180eur platinum (with the expansion) And the expansion looks frigging awesome!
Initiative system looks very cool, but as soon as you had to roll both for attacks and defense was an immediate turn off. There is simply no reason to roll multiple random dice to determine a random outcome, if solo/coop design should look to simplify the enemy turns.
I dunno I am frankly not convinced (which is weird as I love infinity). I mean if I have an app why do I need a board, couldn't it just be a videogame? I pledged but I don't even love the minis to be honest.
Anyway this game will be produced in china and we are on the verge of a war with Russia. I believe this is something to consider before investing 250 bucks in a long term project like this (which ain't cheap considering what they give u, this is not Defiance). I love Corvus Belli and I am sorry to point it out but let's not pretend this is 2019 because it's not.
Agreed. Point being the game doesn’t even seem to be that impressive or bring anything new and developers should have learned some lessons with creating a heavy plastic game and relying on China to deliver 100 minis for just pennies. If you are developing a game in 2022, with the same old practices of 2018, you deserve to lose money
If it's anything like their game Defiance, the miniatures will be great but way overdone and the peripherals will be janky as hell. In an overcrowded genre like dungeon crawlers, a game like this doesn't do anything that someone can't do easier by just playing D&D 5e combat with miniatures. Not sure why they think tiles like this are attractive because they were just as plain as boring with the final release of Defiance. This easily looks like a hard pass and probably won't see sales far past the rabid Infinity fan boys. You should also expect massive delays as the devs at Corvus Belli make decisions at a glacial pace. Heaven forbid they decide to make any changes during production because they take months to make up their minds about decisions most companies make in a matter of days.
Amigo, I love your content. One of the best board game reviewers. But tbh, you kinda talk way too fast (for foreign people and noobies like me 🤣). Not trying to be offensive, but God you can talk FAST 🤣🚀🚀. But a rhythm slower might be a bit more engaging. But that could be personal. Again love the content and you do it well and sequence is great 🤌👌
Giving me vibes like the latest Descent, without the terrain, but maybe with a little more going on with combat. I'm intrigued.

rolling on the table and enter the result in the app is a no go for me. man what a bummer! :(
I'll look forward for this game on KS, thanks Alex!
Absolutely:)
Interesting, but like you, I want to see a lot more of this realized before I start investing in it.
Which scale do the minatures have?
Thanks man, waiting the campaign and the... price that is the main selling point as usual
Yep, going to be interesting

(Shrug) It comes from Aristeia. Many gamers love it... obviously not all. YMMV.
