Great video - I’ve gone ‘all in’ after watching this as I’m a solo player and sometimes 2-or-more player and it was great to see how positive you were about this - got base game, The Ancients, both faction expansions and both map expansions - it looks so fantastic!! Thanks again :-)
Great review Mike! We have this on pre-order and I'm extremely excited for it. I'm not that surprised that the co-op wasn't very stand out, but I agree it will be nice to have for those days you want it. Even ignoring that, that fact that you get a new map, faction, and crystal/bases for the other two expansion factions makes this a worthwhile purchase. I wonder how the Dark Judges (from Helter Skelter) would stand up against the Ancients?? 😄
I finally bought Wildlands after playing my friend’s Judge Dredd a fair bit, so now I’m going through reviews and looking to see what expansions to get in what order.
Guild Master looks so good! It's published by the same company as my FLGS so I've seen what's in the box and the components are stunning. Just a shame that there's no solo mode otherwise I'd have bought it.
NIce review Mike! I'm a big solo player and curious if this expansion is good enough for a newbie-solo player to come into the game? Is there any tips on what other expansions to buy/not buy with this? Enough replayability for solo?
I’m not sure I’d suggest this as an entry point for new solo gamers, since there’s a fair amount to administer. As for expansions, any of the map packs (except for the 2-player one) and extra factions would be great to add to the gameplay.
@@michaeldilisio557 It sounds like you prefer the game at 2p but you dont like the 2p-specific maps? Can you please elaborate? I am considering picking up the 2p map pack as i normally play at 2.
Nice review! I think I rather would have had an extra new faction than a half-baked co-op mode but I know that co-op dungeon crawlers are really popular right now so I guess that's why they went in that direction.

Love that you're part of the DT team, Mike! Thanks for the great review - I really like this game, too. Also, "Mike DiLisio, signing off" - so good!
Thanks for watching, and for the kind words as well.
Was hoping to hear a bit more about the solo experience.
5:52 ah, it wouldn’t be a Martin Wallace game without an industrial revolution
You can play this solo without the base game? Or you need combonents for the base game to play?
Waiting my copy!!! Thanks for the review and detail really like it
Thanks for the information

That would be quite a battle!
Just got it! thx for the overview and thoughts
Thanks for sharing. Wow, you covered a lot. Much appreciated.

Mike when are we gonna see your review of Guild Master which it's at your top shelf?
That shelf isn’t necessarily used for future reviews, but hopefully one of us will get a chance to check it out!

Which game provides the better solo experience: Wildlands Ancients or Helter Skelter: Dark Judges?
I prefer the Ancients for solo play. It’s a more robust system.

Yeah I was hoping for more factions. Waited so long for this and we get one faction and a bunch of cardboard.
