Hands down best game review video I've ever seen. No stupid jokes, no discourse on your childhood and what movies you like, etc. Every second of the video, every word spoken relevant to the game. You cover almost all aspects I care about in deciding whether this game is for me (components, replayability, campaign aspect, theme, mechanics), and give excellent shots of everything included. The quick comparison of certain aspects to other popular games were helpful, as well. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You have earned another subscriber.
Thanks Will. Really appreciate your kind words and your subscription too.
I am glad you pointed these out, it had not occurred to me he avoided all the things you mentioned. I don’t like it when reviewers waste my time with all the nonsense fluff. I appreciate you pointing this out, and it causes me to sub his channel.
Your explanation of the game was really good! I'm definitely going to pick it up for solo play.
Nice review. Rule book are always a hot discussion. As a whole, ones I've seen recently, they are getting better. There's a lot in that box and having the whole terrain in there is a huge plus to me. Also the little cut to some core space animation, nice. Very nice, editing skills are increasing with each video!
Thanks Mark. The rule book is really clear and looks great but the info is just dotted about which makes it more difficult than it needs to be I think. Thanks for comment on the quality too. You wouldn't believe how much extra time it adds to have to film all those 2 second clips and edit them in! I think it makes for a better review however so lets see if it works.
This is a really solid review. Showing my age here but this game is giving me big Space Crusade vibes, the cardboard terrain, the plastic pegs, the cardboard tokens, the player boards, it's all reminiscent of Space Crusade only with better production values. Does seem like yu could make into a 4 player game if you split the crews into sets of two.
Makes a change to see a miniatures game that isn't ridiculously overproduced *cough* Endure The Stars *cough*.
What a great review! Just the things we need to know, very on point. Thank you!
Great review, somewhere in an alternative universe Battle Systems just sent you a big thank you for your efforts!
Thanks Johnny. I'm not even sure they've watched it yet.
Just as an fyi, the bit you pointed out on the dashboard that appeared to be upside down at 8:15, it's not. That is actually a mini representation of the character card. If you look at the dashboard without any cards or tokens in, each section displays what gets put in it. Mini character card icon for the top section, several small icons representing items, then a rectangular shape representing class board.
Love these little touches from the guys at Battle Systems.
Hey Andrew, I'll go back and check for that. Just seemed like the position and design was too perfect for it to be a coincidence however it was upside down. If it's just design choice then fair enough.
@@BlackJackLegacy Haha yea, don't worry. When you pointed it out in the video I had to go check as I'd never noticed it myself!
I work in product development in my day job - I get paid to notice the little things :)
First video I've watched of yours. Really impressed. Slick, professional and informative. Thanks!
I can't believe this isn't on Amazon.
Yeah thats a shame - it is available in most online gaming stores however.
Wow - love the plastic pegs and custom player boards, and it comes with neoprene mats and scenery, too -- Damn, I missed this one on KS, didn't I!? ... "Once you get your head around the rules" sounds ominous, tho! Lol
How did I miss your comment buddy? Its a little tough to get started from scratch but once it becomes clear its actually pretty simple. A how to get started video would go a long way to solving this.
@@BlackJackLegacy Get to it then, m'laddo... Lmao
I like that this review is honest, but also seems fair. Also like all the different types of shots added. Not that we hate looking at your face, it just makes it more about the game, and get more of a feel for it. 👍 Tip top review.
Why don't more games have the walls etc? Are they a bit annoying when moving minis around? I am forever knocking over scenary. The close ups of the board looks like more room that I thought.
And the fact you actually pull items out of a cardboard chest is awesome!
I've no idea how I've missed your comment - how rude of me! :)
Really glad you like the review and the new editing style. I just keep trying to step up the quality each video. The wall are actually not too bad. They're high enough to look good but not so high that it means you can't measure with the tape. It helps this is a little more narrative where exact measurements are not so important however.
@@BlackJackLegacy ... Guess I'm not the favourite anymore 😭😭😭
😂
Yes, like the new style, it's getting rather fancy, it's great!
Weirdly a nurse that visited the house today mentioned this game.
The walls do look like they add to the atmosphere a lot.
I’m not allowed to have favourites 😂😂.
@@BlackJackLegacy correct response 👍👍👍👍👍
Most refreshing review I've seen in years. I subscribed and will check out your channel. Cheers from Canada
Awesome, thank you!
Great thorough review. Thanks. I had never even heard of it
Thanks Zombie Dad. I'm trying to push the quality up on the reviews by taking more time on them. Hopefully that comes across. I think its only just hitting retail now so you may see more about it soon. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the great review. I didn't even know about this game till earlier today and now I'm trying to watch everything I can about it. It seems so interesting.
I love the terrain and theme. The gameplay looks fun and I like that there's both a neutral and an enemy faction on missions. The items as chits is a neat idea.
A deep campaign dripping with theme is always my biggest attraction to a gaming system which is probably why I enjoy Necromunda so much but I could really see this appealing to me and my son as a fun in-between of a miniatures and board game.
How kid friendly is this to learn to play (he's 11). Does it have a co-op mode or is it always competitive?
Thank you
Hey there. Thanks for watching!
I think for you and your son this would be a lot of fun. It will need you to drive the campaign however as the game can also be played solo (there’s some great AI rules for the enemy) you’ll be able to team up and play it co-op.
If you like Necromunda you’ll appreciate the level of detail in this and there’s plenty of expansions too once you want more.
Hope you enjoy it if you do choose to pick it up 👍🏼
@@BlackJackLegacy thank you for the response. I think I might have to give this a try.
Nice Review. Thanks for sharing. That battleboard looks amazing though!
Thanks for watching! Yeah the board and terrain are all in that box. Fantastic value.
I'd love to see a reboxing video and a detailed setup/how to play video! Like u said all the beasts of war ones start after setup. And dont really do a great job explaining things
Hey Jigglets, If I get the time to do a set up video I'll include the breaking down and packing away too. Thanks for watching.
Great review, the rules sound like they might be too complex for my tastes, but it does look an excellent value game
Thanks so much Ted. The rules to play actually aren't too bad but theres quite a bit of book keeping should you play full campaigns. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great review of the game, good to hear the negatives as well as positives. I do like your style of review 👍
Must be honest I backed this on Kickstarter but it was more for the terrain than the game itself.
Most new games seem to have the quick start / let’s get playing guides which I think should be an essential item in any game together with a reference sheet that you mentioned.
What’s next on your review list? Did you get the Batman chronicles from monolith?
Thanks John. I like to try and balance out a review and as I said in the video no games are perfect. Theres always something that can be improved or worked on. I think that a quick start guide would be simple to put together for this. The rules are actually very clear when you find the bits you need.
Next up? Not sure yet. I got Batman and Hellboy but also have Res Arcana and Victorian Masterminds to review too.
Great review. Despite the issues with the rule book I think I'll be giving this game a go. Thanks for showing us this cool looking game.
Thanks Jason. Don't get me wrong, once you know what you're doing the game flows well and its a fun game but I just wish the entry to play was a little smoother.
Looks pretty good!
Are you sure you were not just using the plastic card holders upside down? I know sometimes photographers sometimes assemble things slightly wrong even in manufacturer shots - if the rulebook/etc show the parts being used "upside down".
Rules jumping around in the book is really frustrating.
There’s some icons on the plastic dashboard too that are in the same order on the player card if you have the pegs at the bottom. I think it’s just an oversight.
I bet it’s one of those games that if it’s demoed to you it’s all obvious however learning from scratch - expect some flicking back and forth.
Does everyone in England say 'orientated'? I've only ever known it as oriented, so much so that I'm commenting about it....
as for the game, I like that it can be played solo and it looks well designed and put together. However all those walls would do my head in and the learning sounds like too much...I'll be sticking to Blackstone Fortress myself BUT I'm sure whoever does pick this up will be very happy with it
Great review as always
Well, the singular is "orientate" not "oriente" ;)
We can still be friends however! :D
I had to go back and watch it to see where I said it. I now don’t know if it’s right or wrong 😂😂
I’ve just checked! Orientated is British English and Oriented is American English! Phew - thought I was making up words for a minute!
I’m on the fence about Core space, not sure if I want to get it or get the Star Saga expansions and then there’s Hell Boy, decisions decisions
Firefly with the Reavers
100% - thats exactly what I should have likened it to.
Great review, and you have aristeia on your shelf so that deserves a subscribe 😆
Very clear review especially highlighting the entry point level ( setting up mission zero and learning the rules by the book ). Not a fan of the pins though, maybe sliders could've worked. Easy to lose pins along the way, especially if playing with the young ones ( or the elder! ). Really liked the camera shots. Miniatures look very cool, with that space cowboy kind of aura.
Hey Hethwill. Thanks for your comments. The pins aren't actually too bad. They're a good snug fit, they're long enough to get a good grip on and theres plenty provided in the set so you can afford to lose 1 or 2. Theres definitely a Firefly feel to it too.
Great review Andy. I agree with all the points you made, especially the skill icons, I am however glad they put them all out at the start.
One thing I really dislike is where you have to get a new book or print multiple sheets just so you know a new rule/skill, at least this way you have the information even if you will probably never remember it without the reference sheet to look at.
Thanks buddy. You do make a good point actually about the info being spread over many books. That would be worse actually.
Looks pretty cool. Probably not something I would pick up right now but maybe down the track.
Hey Adam. If you like playing solo its a great purchase as theres not too many solo miniatures games.
Does the Core Space box include everything from the Cyberpunk Core Set BSTSFC005?
Thanks for the review Andy, this does look like one for the "pressie list" haha. :>)
You're welcome buddy. Its a great game - you just need to get your head around the basic rules first and then its pretty simple.
How do you store the game after playing? I do not have lots of space and I am afraid that if you disassemble it will degrade in time.
Damn, takes forever to assemble that
outstanding review!
Thank you.
Another great video buddy. Keep up the great work. I almost went in on this but I opted for Vanguard instead.
Thanks mate. Yeah there's only so much money and time to go around so you have to make choices around what you think you'll play more of.
@@BlackJackLegacy yes. The review quality was great. Well done and well paced.
Thanks buddy. Really appreciate you saying so.
Great review! ill have to keep in mind the issues you mentioned so i can be ready for it when my game comes.
I recently played another game that didnt have a quick start mission and it did get a bit crazy having to go back and forth in the rule book. Hopefully they take your advice and make a quick start mission that has all the info you need right there.
Thanks Wyatt. Once you know what you're doing it flows well but its just a little more difficult to get started than it needs to be in my opinion. Thanks for watching and commenting too.
How cool is this actually
Imagine spending $100 for a board game and still being thankful when they throw in a thin mat. I think standards need to go up
