I backed this after seeing this and then watching your other playthrus of the OG. Getting the base game + the ship minis. "Gloomhaven in space" looks pretty cool, and much easier to play solo it seems.
That’s exiting. I have really enjoyed this game it so fun!!! You won’t be disappointed. Colin and I have already decided to jump back into this game when we get the new stuff. Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
I'm excited to see what the drones expansion brings. The ships need more ways to heal and i think there are some ship upgrades that let you heal damage. Its been a while since I've played, but just remember feeling like I barely won some battles. The space combat is my favorite part of this game. I am close to finishing Act 1 or maybe finished it. I'm not sure. I stopped playing after finishing the first ground mission. It wasn't my best experience. Lol. I'm getting the 1.5 update pack, neoprene mat, and new expansions.
I think this upgrade will help you a lot. Im sure there will be new abilities especially with the drones that can heal or at lease resupply heal abilities. Also with the update the planet exploration can be optional if it wasn't your favorite part. Great to hear from you as always Tim!!!!
Thanks alot for your video. This helped me with my decision. Maybe consider another camera adjustment, that autofocus when you move around with your hand in front of the board is sometimes disturbing the view experience. Keep on and thx !
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it and was able to help. I did notice that in the editing I have a plan going forward to eliminate that but thank you for the feedback!!! 😃😃👍
I’m so glad to hear that. Colin and I have this in our radar to live play again once the update pack comes out. Can’t wait to return to stars of Akarios hearing that it was fun all the way through has made me excited again for it thank you. 😃😃👍
I have no problem with reusable stickers I probably will take time between games so it will be good to be able to reuse them. I feel there will be a map of everything at some point on the internet at some point you could print if you had to but Im not to worried personally
I wish they had the the optional buy of an "updated" version of the cards. I like both versions, a starmap in a book and a starmap you slowly put down with cards.@@MeetMeAtTheTable
1.5 is supposted to fix errors in 1.0....2 years later at the best and it may be delayed further as crowdfunded games typically are. Pretty dissapointed. The new kits look good, but it will be well into 2025 by then. Thanks for the video, it does look like improvements, it's just a long time to look at a large bright box on my living room shelf, and explaining it "not being used" to guests is getting old. My wife looks at me with disdain for making an investment that I have to buy a correction for, but can't get that for years.... She loves me more now for not making the extra pledge. Wanna buy a used game?
I totally get that. It can be frustrating to get a game and find out that they need to update it. If it helps I have played the game past the prelude and into the first act and have enjoyed it. The update pack only major changes are to balancing the enemies in the end game, and world explorations becomes optional. The rest of the update is really quality of life things. I had fun playing it so far without the update. So you could give it a go and decide if it’s not worth keeping. I know the video explained a lot of changes but like I said most are small changes or quality of life changes. As an exsample of one such instant I have played all of oathsowrn and had a blast after I finished i received the update pack and it changed some balance issues and updated some ability and item cards. It was still super fun without the update. Not sure if this helps. But I understand your frustration in not having a complete game. Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
You can totally play the 1.0 edition. The only major change is the planet exploration and some of the end game enemies will be more balanced, and become more dangerous. I don’t know how fast you play campaign games. But if it’s slow enough you might get the 1.5 when it begins to matter. Hope this helps. 😃😃👍
@beerman2000 Each to their own I suppose. Doesn't bother me, means I can play at my own pace and leisure without pissing people off when it's my turn. 😅
Beerman and Mark. I totally understand. now I am ok playing campaigns solo like mark, but most other games I do need others to play to enjoy. Good news after this delivers Colin and I are planing on retiring that he game and are thinking of making this our campaign game for the a while. So you can live the experience with us!!! 😃😃👍
That game looks very interesting. I got the opportunity to get 1.0 for a good price (unused). Is it worth waitng for 1.5? Or get 1.0 and buy the upgrade pack in late plegde?
Great question. I feel you can definitely start playing the 1.0, but I have played up to the chapter 1 and have stoped till I get the 1.5. So it isn’t unplayable in the 1.0 state. Hope that helps thanks for the great question and thanks for watching. 😃😃👍
I don't get people: if this game doesn't have exploration, they would be crying for it. The book and stickers replacing the cards is nothing more than abstract "exploring" much like the "planetary exploration" in ISS Vanguard.. it's an afterthought.. you put a mini on a card with a scene and then you explore with your mind.. then you can skip planetary exploration in Akarios all together?? I'm confused... seems like 1.5 is neutering Akarios to be more like ISS rather than being ITSELF... i will pass on this "upgrade" and if the expansion require 1.5 I WILL PASS ON THEM AS WELL. I LOVE THE GAME AS IS ❤❤❤❤
Totally get it I don’t plan on skipping the exploration ever and should have been a bit more clear they removed the exploration of planets you have already visited or it’s a differnet exploration then the previous one. Of course you can skip them all together but I wouldn’t. The upgrade kit will help them scaling as the game goes on. But the game is still really fun as is. No need to change a thing if you’re already enjoying it . Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching 😃😃👍

Great playthrough, Bairnt! Looks really fun.
Thank you Powell family farm. It’s a blast can’t wait for it to deliver and jump back into the game!!! 😃😃👍

Thanks for the great video helps a lot.
Your so welcome glad it was able to help thanks for watching 😃😃👍
im just finish this game! Ver vey good one! Yes, there is mess,in the rule book 📗 some problems in scenario book but is still awesome!
I’m so glad to hear that. Colin and I have this in our radar to live play again once the update pack comes out. Can’t wait to return to stars of Akarios hearing that it was fun all the way through has made me excited again for it thank you. 😃😃👍
Nice painting.
Thank you. Glad you like them. 😃😃👍
What do you feel about the reusable stickers for the maps? Stickers go bad, reusable or not so what happens then?
I have no problem with reusable stickers I probably will take time between games so it will be good to be able to reuse them. I feel there will be a map of everything at some point on the internet at some point you could print if you had to but Im not to worried personally

So should I wait forever for the new 1.5,or start playing my fully painted original campain solo over the holiday break?

Heard so many good things about this game. Unfortunately no one to play with 😢
you can play solo, as he was. looks pretty good solo, which is what I play 100% of the time. Now that's sad! 🤣
@@markwilliamson3043 I tried solo many times with many games. I just can't do it
