Now this game is a pure "roll and move" random adventure game, but I challenge any WH40K fans to watch the video and not get a little be gleeful!
It is based on the Talisman system, which is a classic game of fantasy adventure and like most of FFG's games, the components look first class. It releases in a few days, so I am very much looking forward to playing it!
Yeah, I'm definitely giving serious consideration to this one (of course, I've got 2 parcels to go pick up at the post office tomorrow of other board games I just ordered, plus my Sentry Box haul...yay tax time!). I like the addition of Corruption and the character abilities that grow as they level up. Oh, and high end items being limited use is pretty sweet, too.
I'm particularly happy that they added some "player choice" in the different threat decks. If your character is strength oriented, you can try to swing toward red zones, whereas cunning players will head to yellow. The Power Cards also make a decent replacement for spells.
Agreed. No running in to a string of Strength monsters that just beat your poor magic user down.
