Really appreciate the detailed comparison. I think I prefer the old "indie" looking art vs the various comic era art they are going for here and that basic card layout is less attractive (especially the font as you mentioned). Really wish we could buy the tokens and health dials separately though. Those are super useful.

I think one of the best changes I see is how easy it is to see the "at start of turn" or "end of turn" text. The worst part of sentinels, for me, wasn't tracking all the 1's, but reading what all the minions did every turn. Still I don't know if I can buy the new version. I think I already own everything from the first edition including the big box. There's just too much content there to start all over. Plus while the new artwork is mostly better, the old artwork has that janky charm. At this point I'd prefer a pvp card game.

“Janky charm” is a good way to put it. Although we would have gotten used to stick figures.

When I first heard about Sentinels I didn't buy it because I was initially turned off by the art, but now it's just one of the reasons I love the game.

This was a great new vs. old review. I own and like the first edition and I have the definitive edition on the way, so it was great to get such helpful, detailed, side by side comparisons of the changes. Great job!

I agree I don't like the change in font. In the original they used traditional comic lett3ring fonts and the new ones of too line and basic.

Great comparison! Note that the keyword "discover" (like on Unity's hero power) lets you immediately PLAY the card you find! It's super powerful.

Thanks for the review. I have been waiting to see a side by side video and this was a great one. I guess I'm struggling with spending money on something that doesn't seem to have a ton of changes. I am happy to see some rebalance but I don't think that's enough to make me dive into the definitive edition.

Glad I was able to help you make a decision. You are right, it’s still basically the same game. Change some keywords, and the old heroes still work in the reworked system.

@kmontzka 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for this side-by-side comparison. It is always helpful to see individual cards compared to see exact alterations between versions, as well as the commentary from someone who knows the game extremely well. I’ve been on the fence about picking up the new definitive edition since I haven’t played the original, however this looks like a solid reboot with a tremendous amount of value. I’ll keep an eye out for it at my FLGS

The issue with just throwing more heroes on and not in their original themed sets is there was a story at play in the background with each set building to oblivion.

That’ll be a problem for a small number of players, but I imagine the majority (including me) never read any of that stuff in great detail. We just want more fun characters and modular combos

Great comparison. This game has been improved but it is the same gaming experience. I prefer this new version: more stuff, heroes that are now playable like Bunker and Absolute Zero. A good work.

@planetdee3587 9 күн бұрын

I have not player the new edition, but Bunker was way powerful in the previous version. Similar to rock, scissor, paper, its a matter of fighting the correct enemy. When i was using Bunker and came to realize Voss could not get rid of my cards... i was destroying thst bomb card in one turn and once took down a star ship in one turn. It got crazy. If Bunker builds up too fast, he is way too dangerous.

so can we take a moment to talk about haka since he wasn't featured? (maybe he has been since this video, but I've only seen a few so far) I absolutely love what they did to haka for definitive. I remember in the old version, Haka's hakas were cumbersome to use and he really didn't get to do a whole lot. I remember i'd pretty much just roll his xtreme prime warden hero card and he'd be the designated damage sponge whenever I needed one. But now? his hakas actually do stuff, and getting large numbers of them on board is encouraged.

@OneStopCoopShop Жыл бұрын

Just the one change of reviving Enduring Intersession, the most useless card in the old game, made Haka better. Yea, the new one is really good!

Perfect comparison, thank you! I panicked when I saw that the old mini-expansions (with a few exceptions) aren't being sold on their website anymore, and was really on the fence about this new version. After watching this video I think I'll end up getting the definitive edition, but I want to complete my collection of the old version first (sadly missed out on the big black box 😭).

Love both version of the game. I will say - to my knowledge - Visionary hasn't been confirmed yet. Story wise, I'd guess she'll come in a different one. Rook City Renegades doesn't really fit her. But Expatriette was in the old Core game and will be in this first expansion.

Adam Rebottaro, the artist for Sentinels of the Multiverse, has stated that he hates a lot of the art that he did for the early game, feeling that his style has evolved and improved over the years. He was looking forward to redoing it.
