@irrevenant8724 3 жыл бұрын

Whether someone likes or hates Sentinels seems to mostly come down to whether the overhead bothers them. It's basically the *only* complaint I ever hear about the game. Everything else is awesome - unique hero decks that play like that hero and very differently to each other, gameplay that starts you with the villain on top so you have to fight back to win, the environment deck throwing a wrench in the plans of both the heros *and* villains, great combos, flavourful card names like "Thokk!" and "Hypersonic assault", cool comic quotes on the cards, etc. Personally I got used to managing the overhead fairly quickly and don't even notice it most of the time so I'm just left enjoying all the great things about the game.

@MythicosQc74 3 жыл бұрын

Sentinels is completely unbalanced.

@irrevenant8724 3 жыл бұрын

@@MythicosQc74 Sentinels is somewhat unbalanced. Some heroes are a bit more powerful than others, and some are a bit less powerful than others. Which isn't much of a problem in a co-op game - and is arguably even a feature. (Feel like an easier game? Choose Legacy or Omnitron-X as one of your heroes. Want more of a challenge? Bring Expatriette or Unity). Even that can vary depending on what villain and environment you're playing though (Tempest is generally great but struggles against Dreamer, for example). Sentinels has a loooooot of heroes to choose from, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and play style. If you're finding it unfun, my guess is that you just haven't found the heroes that best suit your style yet. Which heroes have you played and which did you have issues with?

@ProfArmitage218 3 жыл бұрын

My first thought with that comment was that he had only played the first edition, before they introduced the "H" damage scaling. I never played the original, but if villains deal a flat amount of damage instead of it being based on the number of heroes, I can see it working best with a specific number of heroes.
