Couple of games to have a look at Godtear Bayo Bash Bushido Relic Blade Riot Quest And for bigger games The Other Side Sludge And I hope to see some Rivenstone content from you when it comes out!
Definitely Rumbleslam (you mention it below I see, but a +1 from me)! Looks like a great value for money, fun game (also very interested in 3+ players for this game). 'Demon Ship' from Black Site Studios looks promising (solo micro game). However, whatever game you cover I will be watching!
As the person Tom plays aristeia with, i can fully confirm how awesome this game is, to the point that i bought everything just out of pure excitement!
Just to add to the tide of praise - Aristeia is just about one of the tightest games out there. Played with a bunch of wargame/board game friends, and all adored it. Working on a compact version to take abroad with the wife for holidays :D
@@nakorprieto didn't get it finished in time - but the premise was using the neoprene mats, and just either hole punching (a 25mm/32mm hole punch) the Spanish/German/French spare cards of the characters and gluing the image to bases. That way you end up with a mtg box of bases and dice, an mtg box of cards, and a roll out matt, for a very small travel footprint.
Arusteia! is a lot of fun. I feel like they had a rough launch with it coming out within a month or two of GWs Underworld (their hex based game for those not in the know). I played both from day one and honestly A! won me over from maybe my second or third game. I love that Underworld allows me to paint up small numbers of all kinds of GW factions without having to do an entire army but the gameplay just doesn't do it for me like A! does. Unfortunately GW being the biggest in the industry I think the two launching at the same time hurt the start of A! a lot. At least, that's what I observed locally.
I'll be honest, I mostly thought of your channel as a Mailfaux channel, for lack of a better title. I'd love to see some games on your channel at some point. I've kind of erred over Aristeia as a game I could play casually with non-gamey people but I'd like to see it played to get a better fell for complexity.
In my experience playing this game (which I own), characters just tend to sit on objectives and slug it out with the opposition. When a character finally dies, no big deal, they just respawn and re-enter the fight. It's very... dull.
The game is quite dynamic. Apart from King of the Hill and Hunter & Prey your characters rarely 'sit' on objectives. The game instead requires a lot of movement and positioning apart from fragging enemies.
I've had the exact opposite impression from playing. You spend so much time chasing objectives and trying to outthink your opponent so you've got the bodies on point to score. At first I was a little annoyed with the lack of stand up brawling but I quickly became a fan of the game.
Call me cynical, but this video doesn't seem sincere at all. Scripted and overproduced, like a sales pitch. Why can't the channel just be clear and open telling the subscribers this video is actually a paid promotion of the product? I'll hit unsubscribe, but unfortunately can't hit the dislike because it's disabled by the owner...
You're cynical Pablo, this isn't paid or produced in any association with Corvus Belli - it's a shame you've kinda missed the point of what this channel has been doing for the last 5 years...not taking money from companies or subscribing to affiliate schemes is kinda our thing. Also, the dislike button absolutely works if you need to use it
@@tabletopandgaming Honestly, I would have a better impression if your video was shot by the table with some friends and showing your collection (since its one of your favourite games). Also giving some examples on the board with your models, some testimonials of your gaming group and the sorts. The usual style that your channel is known for. It didn't come as it was from the heart, that's all.
It's no problem, I've been planning these videos for 3 years so I want them to be different/special. You can find my painted minis/gameboard @ 6:45 for reference. There will be more of these style videos in the future (I have the rumbleslam script in front of me right now!) so yeah this channel might not be what you're looking for moving forward.
@Pablo Simones i think you were watching a different video. Didnt come across as scripted at all. And doing youtube is hard. So i challenge you to see if you can do better. Keep up the great work guys!
Which game do you think deserves a greater spotlight? Let us know!!
Couple of games to have a look at
Godtear
Bayo Bash
Bushido
Relic Blade
Riot Quest
And for bigger games
The Other Side
Sludge
And I hope to see some Rivenstone content from you when it comes out!
gaslands
Skytear! Definitely the best tabletop MOBA inspired game.
ArcWorlde
DGS Freeblades

Could you let me know about that light version when you finish it? I’m looking for something like that to play with my gf 🙏🏽

@@robryan5478 wow thank you! Sounds really cool!

I really like the game and collected/painted the whole range of characters. Lots of fun!
Havent played it yet. But painted close to every mini for it for a friend. Some of the funnest minis i have painted.
Looking forward to the series

Love this game and got all of the expansions
What would you recommend as the best storage solution for someone who owns all the characters for Aristeia? (Ignoring the alternate skins)
Hi, we use really useful boxes with ferro sheets on the bottom and magnets on the minis bases.
Great summary of a wicked game! 😊
Aristeia is awesome!!!

@@tabletopandgaming Probably. Anyway, good luck to what the future may bring to the channel.
