Not helpful and backed deluxe this is so much my game

[FemmeSensei]

This is one of the best comprehensive open-ended reviews I've ever seen. Wow. LOVE LOVE LOVE your reviews...how do we get you all the games?
Of course...at this point I have no idea if I must have this game or can pass on it...lol

[renatocarvalho]

Loved the review! I’m very excited for this game! This one is definitely a keeper for me. True solo with a solid cooperative mode = I’m in. And I will have to try that competitive mode too, for sure. This really caught my eye. Currently at the Deluxe pledge, with no intention of downgrading or backing out.
Thank you for the video, Chris! :D

ALL HAIL B-ROLL! GIVER OF THE HOLY NUMBERS!

Awesome review, I wasn't even interested in the game, but your review style was hilarious and fun. Are you the Canadian version of Shut up and sit down, this review style made me think so. Keep up the great work, looking forward to whatever is next

[davidautinify]

great preview/review, perfect mix of info + personal touch + humor. keep 'em coming. :)

[kylemoore]

Nice coverage, glad solo gaming continues to get some attention! When you said you really like punishing co-ops all I could think of was AoT DBG :)

[ironpalmmonk]

I started the year thinking about backing Final Girl or MZ but honestly this is the only one I feel like supporting. Really like what they are doing here and the deluxe pledge seems like a good deal shipping withstanding.

Thanks for covering man. Hoping you hit 5k milestone sooner rather later!

[FemmeSensei]

I'm not even a minute into the video and you are AMAZING

[rainingtalent]

Best review I've seen for this game and most importantly...HONEST. I'm more interested in playing this game after watching your video simply because it was balanced, in depth, and didn't seem like an advertisement. You should really do more.

Really enjoyed your review and it has tempted me towards backing the project. At the very least I'll be looking for this at retail. Your review also had me wishing that there was a companion playthrough, to both see the game in action and your changing reactions as the horde rips through your forces and castle.

I'm kind of staying away from Kickstarter this year. You usually help with that with your "5 Reasons" video. But I was actually interested in this one and was going to do some research today when this popped up in the feed. Good review! One reason I might "kickstart" this is that it seems like a very reasonable price, which I'm surprised you didn't comment on (unless I missed it), because, like me and unlike most kickstarter reviewers, you seem to not have infinite money.
Just FYI, you have a bit too intense of a gaze to pretend at the brainwashing thing. I was frightened.

[mickelboy]

Great review. Thank you for the Hearthstone comment, I have no idea why that idea is being parroted.

[Zilong]

Would you recommend this for the 2 player coop as the main play mode?

[TalenLee]

I'm trying to avoid Kickstarter this year until I know how their restructure works, but this does look cool and I hope it winds up in retail.

Incidentally, one note about the 'but what if I can mix those two effects?' well, the thing is, then you're at risk of having the wrong half of the deck show up at the wrong time. That's not to say you're wrong about how it changes the feel, but the two best halves of two decks can often be like having two halves of a kitten - potentially, you get the wrong ends and it's all a mess.

[FemmeSensei]

Theme issues! lol...why DID you go all sci-fi? though...Sky Tear makes me think of Edge of Tomorrow, to be fair...

[jello]

Excited for this one for sure. But the punishing co op part for sure is a turn off. Fingers crossed theres a casual mode

[FemmeSensei]

How did you avoid a dueling card game mention?
I feel empty somehow...

[MultiDoctordeath]

I liked the look of this game and thought I would enjoy playing it. How wrong I was. I found this game extremely boring and either won easily or last really easily. I have played all the 4 decks but I have never played a game that could have gone either way.

back off marvel zombies! this looks more my jam
