    Fall Of Lumen is so much easier to play than LoV. After the first round, you will be able to read all the iconography like your native language. Its an awesome feel-good engine builder.

    14:30 That’s because usually during AR campaigns, they hold off and end up revealing something on the last day and reveal an All-In pledge - which is even more money, obviously.

    I love the typo in the Grimcoven ("Grimcvoen") in the Story Scenarios box. They have a million bucks in pledges in a few hours but no one caught that? And in all those descriptions, "one-off", story scenarios, solo, etc, how can they make those promises when the game clearly isn't even finished? Totally selling you on an idea, a mood, AMAZING artwork (honestly, they should just do a graphic novel series and THEN the game while they're tooling/tweaking rules. They have enough art for 3 issues already it looks like). And they're also counting on the time lapse (anyone think this is shipping at any point in 2015?) to finish the game. Seems a lot of companies are building games from the top down instead of the ground up. And why is there any real fomo when these games don't ship for 18 months to 2 years anyway? Game looks great, probably goes over like cotton candy as it exists now. I wonder if these game companies have any nice timeshare properties they could sell us?

    To me, unfortunately, there's a ''yellow flag'' on Blood since I didn't receive my BRWR yet (French edition) and most of all, silent radio on KS about where our pledges are at this time (march 29th we receive a shipping update about label created but since .... nothing). We're all aware about MG and that means no more buy from LMG until at least some answers and new update.

    I really want this game, love that idea of deduction & hidden bidding element in an area control game. I think it is a brilliant concept which changes the classic take on area control. I love area control/majority games but I have loads allready, this is a change in mechanics that would make it very welcome in my collection but.... The price.... And I really want those player boards and minis cause, well, it looks better. I said it. Buuuuuut... The price. Allready bought so many really expensive games so I should keep my wallet tighter I reckon. ;)

    The BG KZread/influencer/review space has gotten just as bad as video games. They are all too scared to say don’t buy this game, because then they won’t get sent prototypes, review copies, asked to do paid content etc. They are quick to promote the positives but use softer language when talking about the negatives as they try to sound objective.

    Grimcoven looks like some kind of experiment to me. AI art (not just the few pictures that started the shitstorm) was the first red flag. If they are willing to take shortcuts there, why would they not try this with the rules and other design choices too? to me it looks like a test to see how much they can get away with. Not saying the game couldnt be good, but from what I see I am not sold at all and there simply isnt enough information about the game for me to risk spending my money on this.

    I am so tired of campaign games. Even if they’re campaigns with other legitimate one shot modes, I am so burned out on them. So much so that I’ve passed on games I 100% would have backed in years past (Degenesis, Grimcoven). I just counted, I have 13 unfinished campaign games in my collection 🙈

  • @rawkyle9385
    @rawkyle9385Күн бұрын

    I’ve learned that I can pass on an unfinished game with no reviews that I am not sure about. It takes a lot of self control, but if it comes out and is amazing there will almost always be a second campaign. I have plenty of other games to play so the delay doesn’t really matter. Sure, you may miss out on the occasional hot game, but it will save you a lot of money in the end. I’m using this strategy for Dune from CMON. Passed initially, released to amazing reviews, will back on the upcoming campaign.

    On Grimcoven, note that the standee version will not have the double-layer boards. The only way to get those is to back the deluxe version with the minis. IMO, the deluxe version is the much better buy. The standee version will be available at retail.

    Thanks for the video. Sometimes I feel you are asking a bit much from the developers in a crowdfunding environment. Sure, we all use crowdfunding as "preorder" but the true intent is to fund a venture from concept to development. I am ok with some uncertainty and some TBD elements. There is risk involved; it worked great for me with ATO, not so well with some others. But expecting a fully fleshed out rule book and mechanics is just wanting this to be a preorder sale vs. a true "fund the development of an idea." There is a place for both approaches from developers with crowdfunding and we just need to accept the risks involved.

    When developing a game there have to be prototypes. That's the only way to see if concepts work (proof of concept phase) - so it should be possible to show how the game is gonna be played. The game mechanics should be already fleshed out at this point.

    All the actions are just blocking for what gear / companions / etc. that you have. They are all mechanically basically the same in terms of rules, just how what Skill cards / Gear / companions / etc. can help or not.

    Watch Shelfside review for Grimcoven! Lot of potential (he said it’s a tentative 5/10 as it is now, but could climb to be a 9/10) but yeah expected more even at the prototype stage. It’s an hour and a half of goodness. Essentially it’s hard at first, you kill the elite and then it’s a cakewalk when it’s just the boss and minions. Especially with the portals that let you kite the boss so much.

    Shelfside Review was phenomenal, everyone should check that out. Its golden. I agree with your dreams and hopes for this game. I wanted a boss battler that is in an arena style area and you have this crazy dance of abilities, movement and combat. Awaken Realms is the KING of fiddly complicated mechanics that are pretty thin in depth. They dont know how to make a crunchy yet simple combat system. Its always tons of minis blocking views, and gameplay that falls short but somehow still confuses you. It sucks because I really like their games in theory, and even enjoying ISS Vanguard currently. I haven't played Kings of Ruin, but original tainted grail was just too fiddly and annoying to get through. Story is usually awesome though. Grimcoven doesnt have much story so the strength of narration is lost in this one
