Sam here...yes, this is the Burp-less version of the video that was posted over the weekend! Enjoy!

By now I unfortunately no longer care how amazing a CMON game might be, because I can no longer make myself support their basic company strategy: "Either pay us one year in advance via Kickstarter while bypassing your favorite local game store OR only get half of the game at retail, because the other half consists of Kickstarter Exclusives."

Great review, Sam. You praised Sword & Sorcery for being a success with your family. How about Massive Darkness on that front?

[JIPunisherIL]

Pros of this video: It's a good video
Cons: It's burpless

7:45 Harsk, an iconic character from Pathfinder, is a Dwarf ranger :).

My wife and I have been playing the tar out of Massive Darkness and watching this review just makes me want to go play it even more!! I wasn't a fan of Zombiecide, either standard or BP, since I don't care for zombies but when I heard about Massive Darkness I jumped on the kickstarter and the only downside I've had is not backing all of it!

I was saddened to see that his two cons were "storage woes and sculpt similarities. I was so psyched for this game. I wanted to love it. But the game play was stagnant and lame. You had so many skills and bonuses by the end you'd lose count of your bonuses. And the monsters were just paper this by the end. They could do nothing to stop you at all. Minion waves were not even speed bumps by mid game. No reason to go back to playing it. There was no joy or any real decision making. I expected better out of the dice tower reviews.

The beard looks great, man! Keep it up!

So, when is the comparison coming between this and Sword & Sorcery? I am really interested in your opinion about how these two stack up against each other.

Great video Sam! Lookin forward to your dungeon crawl compare and contrast video!

[Steve-L]

This looks like a dungeon crawl I would enjoy. Thanks Sam!

[chinglee]

Love your vids Sam. Are you painting those minis?? :-) Loved your painting vids too.

[mikeglasswell-gameplay]

the first treasure you spawned, should have been a upgraded treasure token. i 3D printed out some storage pieces. worked quite well

[EclecticCamel]

I really wish this had been a Miami Dice review.

[GeorgeZupster]

These is version without Sam burping???

[SledGod]

these models deserve painting
oh yea, and great video too

[nanakisky]

Where is the comparison video to Sword And Sorcery?! :O

[flexthemax]

I've agreed with many of your ratings Sam, but not this one. This game has abysmal story, close to zero challenge and very linear gameplay. Despite me enjoying very ameritrashy games, this was absolutely not one of them.

[ryanbrown]

Mmm... Seems like Sam never put that game in his bgg collection for some reason...

i'll just wait on my zombicide green horde KS .
