GMG Reviews - THE DOOMED by Osprey Games
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2023
- The DOOMED is a miniature skirmish game set in an encroaching apocalypse. The five horrifying Dooms reach across an abandoned planet and your Warband is one of the final bastions of resistance. You hunt the Horrors that run loose, anchored to the planet by Nexuses and try to achieve some type of Apotheosis before the end.
Based on and promising and outlet for the Kitbash culture of #28, The Doomed's rules-lite approach with heavy emphasis on progressive Narrative building gives an outlet to anyone into the Apocalypse-Punk worlds of artists like John Blanche, Simon Bisley or Geoff Darrow. Let's check it out.

Looking forward to seeing your battle report as I find it easier to understand the rules when seeing played out
Putting the complexity in to the warband generation and campaign rules, rather than on to the tabletop appeals to me. The movement rules sound very cool and thematic. I think I'll be ordering this book.
"What's the point of all this?" 😄😄😄
This game is pure quality and very thematic. Been playing it a lot with group! In our campaign story, I set the campaign so it's on a world that was settled by the Interex but they abandoned it for an unknown reason leaving some Interex to fend for themselves against chaos great beasts on the world. Later on some knights from Caliban tried to escape their world to a different one with the last hidden starship , they crashed on New Caliban and ended up integrating with the Interex so it's a mix culturally of the two. Much time passed. Then The Horrors came about, first discovered at the grave of the Last Starship.
I've been hoping that you would cover this one Ash :)
Counting my solo game to gauge how it worked, I have played eight games of The Doomed in the last month or so, and I am travelling for a weekend of The Doomed later this month.
I have really been enjoying it. It is a shenanigans generator that is all about the stories and the giggles.
The cognitive load is light, the gameplay time is nice and short and the different ways to approach the hobby side of it has had me obsessing and digging through old project boxes ever since release.
I can't recommend The Doomed enough. I hope that you find a collaborator for this that has a sense of humour and that you click well with. The games that I have played to date have generated entertaining stories about fun, oddball miniatures. In the company that I was lucky enough to be playing in, it was consistently laugh out loud stuff.

Being from California, it's been over 20 years since I've heard anyone say 'Hella'. Is it coming back? It made me smile.
Man, I just love Osprey’s output these past few years. Gaslands, Zona Alfa, Gamma Wolves; they’ve been kicking out some of my new favorites.
Glad to see you'll be covering this game! The mini photography in the book is so inspiring! I think it has a lot of potential!
I'm digging the rules light narative heavy nature of The Doomed.
Great review! I cant wait to see a great battle report of yours! I Recived my copy few weeks ago and i love it.
A very detailed interview. I am looking forward to a battle report!
Feedback on the new intro: Can I just say it’s really nice not having a mini heart attack every time one of your videos comes up on my auto play now?
Love the doomed!
I love the Doomed. Happy to see it getting more recognition. One of the coolest
Skrimish games I’ve encountered in many years.
Looks fun! A “rules light warband skirmish game” must be osprey 😂
*Bit-crushed to Hell*
"That's one doomed spacemarine."
Looking forward to this one. I’m a big fan of Chris McDowalls work on Electric Bastionland and Into the Odd.
I also like how much GAME you get. Most books are rules and stuff with two or three games. This is 36 conflicts and 36 horrors, which is insane and a TON of game play.
It's always nice to see a game focus on just having a good time instead of being a hyper-competitive sweaty expensive collect-a-thon. I love how light the rules are, 99% of the time awkward interactions in rules can be solved just by using common sense. I love not having measuring tapes too, always weird that guns in a lot of games seem to have a maximum range of about 30 feet in scale lmao
My fiance and my son and I are gearing up to play this. Kitbashing some Inhetitors from Reaper Knights and some D&D minis. My fiance is playing kitbashed bugbears as alien bigfoots, and my son plans to slap together a team from his favorite 40K minis. Already rolled up a few horrors and I'm using old DOOM The Board game minis, a mini from the Magic The Gathering board game, and a kitbashed Final Faction toy from Dollar Tree.
Looks interesting, nice asymmetric vibe and fun mechanics. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Psyched you’re going to play this game! I love the style and philosophy behind it, and it looks like a fun way to fight some big weird monsters

"Because you have a simple five-action economy-"
"Three, sir"
"Three-action economy, your models can do whatever you want"
I have never been interested in figure games, but I trust everything Chris McDowall does so I just got this.
Looking forward to any future content relating to this game so I can check it out
Excited to see some videos on this.
This sounds really cool. I look forward to seeing you okay it!👍
Love this idea, I’m curious to see how soloable it really is. Thanks for the review!
Cheers for the review dude, this fell off my radar but just ordered a copy! Been looking for rules to run my growing collection of Space Hell minis.
Just purchased. Thanks for the review.
I watched the battle reports from on table top, this game looks like a boat load of fun.
I bet that you and Jay would be a great duo to play this. The possible shenanigans are right up your ally.
If i can find an opponent interested in playing it, i’ll have to give it a go. Orks would be a great faction for this…..
I'm looking forward to see what you will create for this game, it is exciting! I was planning on using my Prodos Bauhaus miniatures, they seems like a good fit for it 😊
So many if these great games out now it's insane tbh ha Forbidden Psalm, this, vertwood and many more
I find myself very tempted by this game.
Whelp, guess I'm buying this one!
I’m up for a Let’s Play!!
Intro song is not my kind of intro music. But content is awesome
Not interested in the theme but Osprey has made such good games for some time now.
WIll check it out in cas the theme is.. twistable or the gameplay is good fun :)
I preordered this like a bajillion years ago and am really impressed with some things but the biggest weakness imo is A not giving your individual guys enough personality when progressing through a campaign and B the injury table is PITIFUL. I'm really hoping they do a campaign book because the individual games feel pretty fun
In a pinch you can substitute eldritch horrors with daemon and tyranid monsters.
What happened to the R&F game Hobgoblin from the Gaslands creator? I saw a few battle reports on Youtbe a few months ago and now it´s radio silence. Is he waiting for the release of Old World to capitalize on this alternative rule design?
It’s still in production I think? It funded on kickstarter!
I bought this when it first came out. I was wondering if you were gonna check it out. Nice.
Love this game!❤
The new theme is chill but the old one will be missed. I'm a bass player and the previous was appropriately bass forward.
On page 7…..THAT’S A WARJACK!
Sounds a little like a pvp rpg without a gm. But you said the monsters have an ai?
New music intro? What are you...nuts? Good content review though
Is this game playable in a not sci-fi setting?
You can reskin anything to anything
Editing is pretty bad in this book (has anyone found how you determine Initiative, lol?) but a great system. I'm demoing it at a micro con tonight. Also thinking of making a Warcry reskin. Can't think of anything the Warcry rules accomplish that can't be done easier and better in Doomed.
The editing is my only gripe about the book. Typos here and there that could confuse slightly.
The issues are minor at least, and the nature of the game meant that any potential rules issues were non-issues in my games.
(FYI, for initiative the "First Player is randomised at the start of each Round", page 9, just above the box out :) )
Warcry shouldn't be changed, that game has a great system especially the unique initiative in it
Been looking for a game but can't recall the name. I remember it having a pumpkin head scarecrow on the artwork. Anybody?
