@25:36 They have re-did a lot of the game rules/mechanics 1 year into the KS campaign. they did a great job streamlining and balancing without sacrificing depth. Kudos to AR!
Your final thoughts are really what I still think of the game - it's so much contant and replayability, I still have no idea when I have the time to play all of that at least once. Breathtaking...
re: anab0lic Yeah, I'm thinking I'll just buckle down and wait for a 2nd edition someday. At least it's on the radar as a proven game, that's worth it... right? :)
I'd like to. I feel like I missed out on it. I didn't get it and no one else did locally. We got Joan of Arc coming. I've heard really good things about Mythic Battles though.
I really like your reviews. They kind of add a nice blend of ideas taking into consideration a lot of factors and some "predefined" views that people tend to have. And this one is a really positive one. So glad I late backed the game and it is on the way to me now. Actually the thing of this being just another KS overproduced minis game was my first impression too. And there's a good reason for that. This was AR's first game and it wasn't that appealing at all in the beginning. But if you look now at their KS page and compare it with the actual final game, there is not much in common. Their involvement and desire to make a good game out of it made it from a just another minis game into what's it now. Unfortunately you cannot edit KS pages after campaign finished and hence it was difficult to really see through the first impressions. You had to dig a lot into the updates to understand the changes. I'm guessing that the second KS will bring a lot more visibility to this game
Bummer, I didn’t back this because it didn’t sound like something I would like or that anyone would play with me. =(. Glad you got a copy for me to try.
to be clear: Hello, At this point the late pledge for Kickstarter version is not possible, and we'll not publish the game in retail. There will be however a second campaign - you'll be able to take part in it later on this year;) best Łukasz Hopefully they don't mind my reproducing their email :)
Drive Thru Games All good. I'll wait for a solo/co-op playthrough bit it looks fantastic and I'll happily play both sides in Battlelore 2nd Edition so I think I should like this too ☺

Nice to hear. Definitely shows.
Yeah, delayed almost a year, but for the right reasons.
Your final thoughts are really what I still think of the game - it's so much contant and replayability, I still have no idea when I have the time to play all of that at least once. Breathtaking...
I remember being torn and not backing. So full of regret, I hope they do a 2nd KS. Sounds exactly up my alley... Thanks for the review Joel!
you could always pay scalper ebay prices...but I think that may lead to further regrets xD

As I've seen you late pledge is still an option.
Yup, pricey, but insta-backed. Super looking forward to this one!
@@Gutock there's also a Tabletop Simulator mod if you can't wait for the physical edition.
I wish I had backed it. It looks terrific!
Mythic Battles Pantheon review anytime soon?
I'd like to. I feel like I missed out on it. I didn't get it and no one else did locally. We got Joan of Arc coming. I've heard really good things about Mythic Battles though.
I'm happy to give you my copy for a review in case you live in the UK.

Thank you. I appreciate it. And, ya that makes a lot of sense. I didn't realize this was their first campaign.
Have you since played mythic battles pantheon Joel? Which of the 2 would you pick 😊
I've not unfortunately.
Bummer, I didn’t back this because it didn’t sound like something I would like or that anyone would play with me. =(. Glad you got a copy for me to try.
So... Necromunda or this next time? :p
Or Kill Team?
Or Rumbleslam?
I need to retire so I can play more.
Amen.
Hi 😊
Do you still play it?? And if so do you still recommend it!?
I don’t but I do :)
@@DriveThruReview good, thank you 🙏🏼
Just got word.... no plans for retail, but plans for 2nd KS later this year. Instaback :)
Gutock OK great. Just to be clear before I tweet it out etc... you heard back from Awaken Realms?
Yup, emailed them and asked how to pick it up :)

Hopefully they don't mind my reproducing their email :)
Cool. Thanks for the info!
Nah, thanks to you! You always do awesome work, glad to see your vids :)
God Job desingner is also designer of Neuroshima Hex and he is very good in tactical games:)
Where are those minis behind u from?
Avtomatik Mostly Age of Sigmar and 40k.
EXCELLENT review Joel!
Thanks Chris.
I passed on the game cause one only needs so many of these but the FOMO was real until you laid it our for me man. I was scouring EBAY lol
Will this available in retail?
BLD A TRUE GAMER No but they just announced a second Kickstarter coming later this year.
Drive Thru Games how can I keep abreast of it?
BLD A TRUE GAMER Awaken Realms should have a newsletter on their site ... or subscribe to the game page on BoardGameGeek.
I think you can late pledge on thier gamefound site.

Is it worth it for solo?
Shane Annigans Hard to say. There’s a lot of solo content in the expansion but I didn’t try it out.
Drive Thru Games All good.
I'll wait for a solo/co-op playthrough bit it looks fantastic and I'll happily play both sides in Battlelore 2nd Edition so I think I should like this too ☺
Hypetrain!
WOW!!🤩
