The game is phenomenal. It is also very fun to play (i finished the campaign and played a couple of skirmish). I am glad you were finally able to give it a review. Your main critique about board movement is fair, but managing the darkness track and the saints balanced and complexified the experience enough for me.
Really enjoy this one, can't wait to start up the campaign. I think an expansion could help it add it a bit more unique goals/victory conditions to help with those areas
Very good point! I did not realized that, although art is amazing, it's barely influence the positional strategy (which I would have like a bit more) - A good example is Machina Arcana - Each board requires strategic thinking, giving lots of options.
Great Review. A someone who really liked Cthulhu:DMD, I’ve had my eye on this. The biblical theme is nice too. But I’m not that into skirmish games so the campaign seems more interesting to me. I’m more of a fan of dungeon crawlers than skirmish. I think you just posted a review of an expansion for this maybe so I hope that’s more campaign content? There are cool ideas for campaigns. One based on a Good Omens idea would be neat :)
I love the game. So easy to get started and so many attack possibilities. An expansion is coming to Kickstarter soon, so I hope the negatives you talked about are addressed. I agree with you that the 2 chapters of a game go from easy to many times, overwhelming.
This game is fantastic. the campaign is really good, has great character building, unique scenarios, and a great experience overall. nothing like moving 11 spaces, destroying 2 demons, healing 4 damage, and ending with a courage for your trouble. while the skirmish is great, it doesnt allow for the growth the campaign does. a lot of what you are wanting from spawn variety to map/objectives are in the campaign. the campaign has a lot more variety than the skirmish mode. the scenarios are akin to DMD.
its a shorter campaign as well. 14 missions. if you fail, you get a bonus when you try again. not the 400 hr variety thats hard to finish. iirc, its likely in line with your preferences@@BoardGameCo
In my first game we had the exact opposite experience. We almost died on turn 3 of the initial board, but after leveling up the prince was quite a pushover.
Your speaking speed and enunciation puts you in the 40th percentile of understandability on UA-cam. Hey, you went public, you invited criticism. Good Smeagol, always helping.
"You went public, you invited critiscm" is code for "I like to be a tool and feel like I have permission to be one". Providing polite feedback makes you a good person. Providing criticism and saying "you put yourself on the internet bro!" is....kinda toxic.
@@BoardGameCo I was merely blunt, not cruel. I have no motivation but to provide helpful feedback. As adults, I trust you to manage your emotional reactions without asking me to share the burden. I brought up "going public" because it implies becoming an attention magnet, and attention is our most valuable resource. This places you in a position of responsibility to make the expenditure of attention that you've implicitly requested as worthwhile as possible. Your speech impedes your ability to fulfill that responsibility, which grants the viewer license to note the inadequacy with whatever degree of annoyance they deem fit.
@@fusrojosh6870 Nah, there's a valid criticism to he made here. A 100-pound weight is heavier than a 25-pound weight, and just because some people can lift the hundred doesn't mean it's not a heavier burden. Congratulations on your ability to understand hurried, slurred speech. I was sincerely offering constructive feedback. He should work on his speech if he wants to grow his channel. Is helping others a good use of my time? I could have just clicked away. Btw, not everyone who says something you don't like is a troll, softie. You people need to grow up.

I prefer Deliverance over Cthulhu DMD as it removes the luck factor from the dice in combat, which I heard was the main negative feedback of most reviews.
@@a-blivvy-yus in my experience Christian’s believe all of the Bible. There’s disagreements as far as interpretation and sometimes ceremonies. I went from Baptist to Lutheran which is very different. As far as the core things though it’s all the same. We all believe in angels and demons. The baptists take revelations a little more literally it seems.
@@elementonly08 There are some Christian groups who believe in a trinity and some who don't. There are some who believe that Jesus is an opponent to Yahweh instead of an ally to him. There are some who believe that the Bible is almost entirely allegory and *include* the idea of angels and demons in that, not believing either to be real, just literary devices to tell the story. There are *plenty* of Christians who will argue that the rules about how severely you're allowed to beat a slave shouldn't be kept as modern laws, even while accepting that those laws *were* once considered to be acceptable.
@@elementonly08 There's a difference between "believing all of the bible" and "taking all of the bible the same way" and there are at least 3 different versions of the bible available in the modern world even before you consider different translations which make meaningful changes to the connotations of a given verse in many places.
I saw this advertised on Facebook as a "Christian game." The angel vs demon war in heaven thing is Christian-adjacent and much more pop culture/folklore than "Christian" but hey it got me interested enough to see a review! I'm very relieved to know it's not a game about memorizing Bible passages or praying together in order to win 🤣
Dude, I wanna watch your video but you talk so fast if I wanted the video that fast I’d put it on x2 speed I’m gonna give you a thumbs up because I like the product but honestly, this is a thumbs down because of your performance.. talk slower
You moved Uriel straight across the blue glowing line, the blue lines are impassable.

This game is phenomenal, and the production value is incredible- I also play with the standees rather than minis, the color is worth it!
You said saints start possessed. They start oppressed.
Really enjoy this one, can't wait to start up the campaign. I think an expansion could help it add it a bit more unique goals/victory conditions to help with those areas
Enjoy it :)
LOVED this whole campaign!
Glad you enjoyed!

Have only played a couple of rounds, enjoying it so far. Looking forward to playing the campaign through with some friends.
In my first game we had the exact opposite experience. We almost died on turn 3 of the initial board, but after leveling up the prince was quite a pushover.
You should do a review of the campaign, that's where this game shines :)
..so no canoes?
Someone had to make the reference! xD
The banjo is the first player token
Lol

Great vid as always! Would you recommend this or Unmatched Tales to Amaze?
I prefer this one but both are fun
Did you play solo? If so how many handed did you play?
Amazing game!
It's pretty solid:)
Wish this wasn't a co-op: this would have been a cool asymmetrical skirmish game. Playing the prince would have been awesome!
Do Jewish people believe in angels and demons? I asked a friend of mine and he said Jews don’t believe in all of the Old Testament.
It depends very much on the specific denomination of Judaism. Similar to how many Christians believe different things from each other.
