Adore the chemistry? interaction? the 'je ne sais quoi' between the two of you ;D Incredibly glad I came across your channel - thank you for all the tremendous work and time it takes to put this great content together.

I have Nemesis Lockdown and I have really enjoyed it, although I have only played solo mode. So I can only imagine how much fun it would be to play with other people. I also pledged to Nemesis Retaliation, the models look awesome (can't wait to paint them) and this review helped with my decision to move forward with this game.

[vincentstella]

Thanks guys. I've been into and supporting Nemesis since the original and I can't wait to get Retaliation....especially after your review. I also want to say that I appreciate your review format and your honest and detailed review. Great job.

[librafrills]

Omg yall are reviewing this too! Thank you! 😊

LMAO I thought he really thought him and I was cracking up when he said “the first one is just run” 4:47

[DermoniS]

Wow. I didnt know that this version is with standees. I love that. I think I will buy this one when it gets to retail.

[spacewiz]

I just found this channel and I really love the 6 things format.

I have both nemesis + their expansions. It’s one of the most popular games in our friend group. A lot of times at the end it’s either one or 0 survivors because we all betray each other and try to win solo. I’ve preordered this one and I’ll be interested to see how to more combat-oriented mechanics change the gameplay, since in the first 2 games you get absolutely destroyed by the aliens, even if you’re fighting together with someone else.

Thanks for the honest feedback and comparison to the originals and talking about pros and cons. You guys are the best, the other previews were so one sided

[CountDewkeww]

Thank you for this. I Actually appreciate games that have the same mechanics but different feels. (This vs Nemesis 1) it makes jumping back and forth between the two easier and it’s one less rules set to remember.

Great review! I'm definitely backing this one! Thanks guys!

[ptastydactyl]

I'm new to the hobby and have been waiting for this campaign to get into Nemesis. I backed this puppy as soon as it dropped. Thanks for the great content guys!

[Frankie-the-Tankie]

This is the one that finally got me into Nemesis as my group is more of a "shoot-em-up" type of group and not "try to survive and lose all the time". I'm excided to see what else is going to be shown during the Gamefound campaign. Ideally I would love models for the player characters and acrylic standees for the monsters but I understand that AR can't have too many variations as that complicates fulfillment.

the best review I've watched so far. I'm planning to get it as I don't have any nemesis but I love to play them. For what I watched, the noise system and securing the room, and the new damage dice improves the control you have in this game and for me is a plus. It feels like there not much support characters or mechanism this time as it lacks research or crafting.

I would like to have more than 7 characters in my box if I back it, remains to see if they add more characters in a addon or let you get the old characters in a affordable addon (they said in a comment that they thought about doing that)

[browe]

Blerg. You chaps spent my money! 😄 I've been holding off on the Nemesis series since the very beginning... I almost dove into Lockdown but passed. This one felt like the right place to jump in, given all the encouraging feedback I've seen so far, then your review sold me.

[JM-xqoq]

Hi, thank you for the review and really enjoy your content. In your latest top games the original nemesis ranked highly. Would retaliation rank higher or lower?

[EmitSlab]

Great video! Personally still think the OG Nemesis is the best.

My only complaint was I wish the expansions added to the OG game more than it did. More objectives is a must as imo all Nemesis games are so easy to tell what objective someone has, as their just isn't time to do multiple things before dying.

As soon as a friend goes to the cockpit...ok I know you have to go to X location with the ship, otherwise no one but the pilot wastes time going there.

Retaliation seems to have the same issue, but be more linear, and not have the tense moving around the ship, as you mainly keep going to the right.

I also couldn't tell based on this video, but it seems you start fully equipped, but then use it as you go so you almost get weaker? I'm sure you can find more supplies, etc but I prefer the other Nemesis feel of gearing up and getting stronger as you go, trying to survive.

[TheParksy]

nemesis is on my list to get, should i replace it with this one ?

[IamJFD]

This is run and gun. and the first one is just run. makes sense
