I'll say, I do like the new review style with just video of game components rather than looking at a person talking with a game in front of them.

@MikeMcEachron
@MikeMcEachron Ай бұрын
Yeah that's a good question. I was initially thinking of taking a pass on this since I just got the upgrade kit and storage boxes for Tanares and will be going through that shortly. Is this going to offer enough of a unique experience to warrant even getting the core game? Dagori seems to think so but a more objective opinion would be nice.

@TheKingofAverage
@TheKingofAverage Ай бұрын
Great question. I would say yes, and here's why: The turn to turn gameplay is quite different, especially with card use and combat. The scope/feeling of the game is much more personal. I always compare it to comic books. If Tanares is "cosmic level" story telling (empires, royalty, world spanning) then Odalin seems more "street level" in its story telling and focus. While still an important story with big stakes, it's far more centralized and personal.

Tanares is Final Fantasy Tactics. Odalin is Diablo. (I’m also on the fence on this one. I may cancel before the end. Too many games.)

Really amazing preview. Gameplay and minis look phenomenal (ofcouse it's Dragoni). Not as magnetized to the theme. But it seems there's alot of current kickstarters that are darker fare.

Warlock was my favorite class in WoW. So I guess I don't mind paying health for stuff :P I was actually thinking about this the other day. One of the few mechanics I strongly dislike in boardgames is when the game runs you out of deck. Earthborne Rangers does this, and Skytear Horde. You get attacked, you lose cards that you never got to see or use. And then you know that your game session is shortened. Significantly so, in some cases. And I was thinking why I disliked that so much. Especially because in Android Netrunner I don't mind being milled. I actually enjoy it there. So I thought about it for a bit and I think I understand now. In Netrunner someone may run me out of deck as a runner, but I will have seen the cards and I will have had the chance to play them. And if I lose cards it's typically something I suspect or know will happen, but it's a price or a risk that I'm consciously taking to get into a server. So it's a tactical choice. It's still something I can work with and plan around. Whereas in Earthborne Rangers and Skytear Horde they aren't cards that you could have done much with. And your decks tend to be small anyway. So it really hurts to lose 1/10th of your deck in one attack. To me that just feels real bad. And because it's typically an attack that does it, there isn't usually an easy way to prevent it from happening. Whereas in Netrunner you can choose not to run. Or as the corporation you can choose to ICE up your R&D to prevent the runner from going through your deck. And you can even trap your deck. There's ways to play around with it and make it interesting. So TLDR I guess it's something I like when it's a weighted decision or a strategy. Something I strongly dislike when it just happens and I can't really help it and it has a big impact, limiting my options. So I think I wouldn't mind the health drain in this game as much, if there are ways to heal or the healthpool is big. I'm not 100% sure but I think I won't mind it that much, I might even enjoy that aspect.
@CheddahSlammer
@CheddahSlammer Ай бұрын
Yeah was thinking about getting it but I am glad I watched this because, many people in my group don't like using health as a resource. Even if its just one character doing it, people feel like their weakening their character and depending on the game it might not be for much benefit. I think the only game I've seen do It right is Sentinels of the Multiverse, were the one character can equip an armor, that if they go down to 0hp they go back up to 10 instead.

Ok King - got a question and this is a tough one especially for you.... If you could only pick 1 of the following options due to finances - which would you pick?? 1) grab odalin (not all in but extensive pledge) 2) grab Dante instead (i know you work for company) 3) Blood looks awesome. 4) wait for Story of Many or Lands of Evershade (AR hasnt done me wrong yet and SoM looks interesting) 5) Try to find Chronicles of Drunagor on 2nd Market as i may like that one. Thanks for any insight - games i currently own and love - ATO, Etherfields, Tainted Grail (all), Descent 2 and 3, GH and FH. Thanks again

Thank you for the video! I tried to love this game, but it is just a mass-produced fantasy game for me and I feel it a bit overprized. I have already pledged Grimcoven, so I spent my money for a while, but if I could afford one more I would pick Blood instead. Just waiting for Diablo board game anyway.

I’m glad you said that. I came here to say the same thing. This one has my eye but I also thought I saw where Diablo the board game was going to be released (crowdfunded I assume). I only remember it being a blurb somewhere so not sure how legit that is. I’d assume have it over this just due to IP and nostalgia.

If Stormsunder was a real product and more than just a prototype from years ago I'd say Stormsunder, it was truly great at the time. This vs CoD? That's a tough one. I love the story and gem system of CoD but this one has some great power swings and a cool factor that's high.

I have seen official gameplay video yesterday. It was in the hack-and-slash mode, but it appeared too Easy when a character transformed into demon, and they all were buffed by healer protection and went through enemies like a knife on warm butter... That left me uneasy, and I think to drop pledge on the whole (not only for this)
