    There are so many similar games that do it better or faster. DNGN for example actually has a cute story AND random dungeon layout. Takes about as much time. Heroes of Tenefyr adds deckbuilding and has more depth than STH. One Deck Dungeon has better puzzles. And is roguelite. Mini Rogue plays faster. The Phantom the Card game has story and rogue lite. STH is.... meat nor fish.

    @danielschaublin Месяц назад

    Thanks for the rules overview of the game, even if this is 3 months before the campaign dropped (it went live in September 2024). As for my thoughts, I think they are mixed right now. Rolling dice and completing challenges for the entire game doesn't excite me as much as if it was worker placement instead, and each game can have its swingy moments depending on how the dice roll for you (if you get good rolls, you have an easier them winning. If they don't, you might end up losing.) Since you said its suppose to target families, especially on a theme most people in the USA should know by this point (Avatar TLA finished its run in 2008, but you still see whatever released for it long after its run was done), maybe its where it lacks some depth for me. Basically, I'm just saying is if I do play a game, I like to have something more than roll dice for 50% of the game and gambling my luck on it, but if you have children you want to try it with or love the Avatar TLA series in general, go ahead and get it. For now, I think this game is on the backburner for me.

    • @AdamTheFanatic

      I understand if dice manipulation isn't your cup of tea, but I do think you're underestimating how much control you have over the game; it might not as much control as something like Roll for the Galaxy, but it does give you a bit more control than something like Cubitos or Quarriors, and even those have a lot more to them than "chuck the dice and hope you get what you want".

      @@pancakes4193 If you're specifically looking for something where you play as a kaiju, Octogeddon is pretty fun; it's an action Roguelite made by the same lead designer behind Insaniquarium and Plants Versus Zombies, and it definitely carries the same kind of humor as both of those games. If you're more looking for the concept of being able to crush armies effortlessly, most of the Warriors/Musou games would work well; there's a fair number of games in the series on Steam these days, but Dynasty Warriors 7: Definitive Edition- not a sequel, each game in the DW series tells the same story in a different way- or Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate Definitive Edition would be a great choice; this one IS a sequel, but honestly the story is not a selling point of the Orochi series, instead they involve time shenanigans so that they can involve characters from Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and occasionally other series too. Both of these titles include almost all of their DLC, minus so costumes that involved limited time licensing deals they no longer have access to.

      @@pancakes4193 RTS games with super weapons can certainly feel like that once you get them going- such as Command and Conquer (specifically Red Alert 2, Red Alert 3, Generals, and Tiberium Wars) has a similar feeling for me, but that might not be quite the same for you. For super weapons specifically, Tiberium Wars is probably the best pick, as each faction not only has a super weapon, but the expansion (Kane's Wrath) also adds a super unit to each of them which does a pretty good job of levelling lesser armies. On the subject of RTS games with super units, Warlords: Battlecry III is an interesting one; it's a hybrid of RTS and looter RPG. If you build your hero as a melee bulwark, it's possible to get them to the point where they can solo entire armies with minimal focus on your own base, though it does take work to get them to that point. Undefeated is a free game on Steam, and while it's fairly light on content, it's been described as "what Superman 64 should have been", and I feel that's a pretty fair assessment; they're apparently making a sequel that's supposed to be a full game, though the ETA for that isn't until 2026. Still, the first one should be worth checking out at least.

      I haven't played Aang's Destiny yet, but I do know it's based off of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Batttle; I did a review of Toy Story: Obstacles and Adventures which is built upon the same system. Mind you, this is based purely off my experience with the Toy Story game, but assuming it lines up closely with it (I'm sure there's SOME differences between the three- I know Obstacles and Adventures uses some features that were part of an expansion for Hogwarts Battle), then it's a fun system, but thematically doesn't align as well with the source material.

    I like Beer & Bread, a 2 player game. Sobek 2 is another great 2 player game, and Bruno Cathala is involved in the game design. Thanks for your review, Adam! I have 7 Wonders Duel and one Expansion set Which is like a game within a game. I only just started playing Splendor Duel on Board Game Arena and really enjoy it, too! I feel like 7 Wonders Duel is a bit heavier of a game.

    • @AdamTheFanatic
      @AdamTheFanatic 3 месяца назад

      I've not tried either of those, but looking up Sobek it reminds me a little of Jaipur? Which 7 Wonders expansion do you have, Pantheon or Agora? I've played with the former a bit, but haven't had the chance to pick up either- I really should get around to that.

    I managed to get a really good deal on both Legends and Legends 2 a few years ago. Good enough that I couldn't pass up immediately buying it. Both Complete with Manual and near flawless discs. Unfortunately I have never managed to find a physical copy of the Misadventure's of Tron Bonn. Aside from $600+ copies on Ebay in varying states between complete and beat up disk in a sleeve. Capcom will forever have my Ire because of the Legends 3 fiasco. Not because the game never came out, but because they never followed through with their promise to release the prologue. That prologue was supposed to be used to guage potential sales, and was to be the deciding factor on weather or not to greenlight the complete game. Inafune's falling out with Capcom contributed to all of this of course, but it was less his departure, and more how and why he departed that was the issue, they were pushing him into a position he did not want that was going to take him away from the creative side of the business, and he decided to essentially quit on the spot, but would stay to see the project through to completion. In turn, Capcom, in quite possibly the most petty of moves canceled not only Legends 3, but every single project that was in production that had any relation to the Megaman franchise as a whole. Capcom EU's social Media manager did make the statement that "It was a shame the community wasn't more involved" but that message was pulled down shortly after and iirc an apology was issued. Inafune's studio comcept didn't fare too well, and was acquired by Level-5
