I know there’s a lot of reviews from CZcamsrs that don’t actually even play the whole game or the full game. They just throw it on the table and skim through it. That’s why I appreciate your channel.
I saw the Kickstarter, but I didn't get it because the shipping was so expensive. Thought about getting it now but honestly, the amount of content locked as Kickstarter exclusives kind of kills it for me. Characters being exclusive already sucks, but I can't fathom making gangs Kickstarter exclusives. I can't play all the gangs in the board game "GANGS of Night City"? I can understand if I needed to buy all the gangs in expansions... but as Kickstarter exclusives?
CMON has a massive problem with their business practices. The Bloodborne game has the same issue, with virtually 50% of the entire game was kickstarter-exclusive, not just minis.
Hi ! You didn't talk that much about gang wars and I am on the fence for buying it. Do you think the three factions are worth it or it's just more stuff trown in ? Can you briefly explain to me the powers of each of them ? Thank you !
I did not back this game. I have been playing a cyberpunk theme game called Tamashi Chronicles of ascend been having a lot of fun with that recently. I know there’s another cyberpunk 2077 game coming out soon on I believe game found. I do like the added boards on the corners it reminds me of talisman, which has a special place in my heart
I don't see this game getting a reprint. I would be quite shocked if it did. It looks like it drastically underperformed for a CMON campaign (likely thanks to the insane shipping prices on every single CMON campaign) and I am pretty sure that the retail sale is even worst given CMON purposely sabotaged their retail edition. I managed to grab a second hand copy for a decent price and found most of the expansion for ''cheap'' (except the fixers that I just proxied myself, what I ripoff expansion) and it's fun. But it will likely become a forgotten CMON title solely because of their horrible business decisions :(
Finally a review with expansions! Other channels seem to just review the core box and then send it back to the publishers. I dont think they even play it...
Components looks good, yet due to the fact my company is not actually too into the area control type games - I doubly buying it. Even though, setting is something I liked about the game a lot.
Agree with you on most counts. I love the video game AND the board game. My only real beef is with the netrunning. It’s such a cool part of the video game, and here it just falls flat. I enjoy all the other things they abstracted, including combat, but netrunning was painfully oversimplified. I noticed the wash on the Tiger Claws….did you follow my advice on BGG? Haha. Just a fan of your channel trying to take some credit. 😂
I used a mat t varnish and then a wash and dry brush. The wash didn't flow as well as I'd hoped so they weren't as good as I think they could have been - but it worked.
Do you think this is a worthwhile game for two players, otherwise there are polar opinions on BGG or should I immediately sell my Kickstarter all-in, since we only play with two people?
Good video and over view. This game was a hidden gem for me, I wasn’t expecting it to be as enjoyable as it was. Some feedback about your video. At certain times Your hands get in the way a lot when you’re showing close ups of the components. Your hands are blocking cards, minis, etc. As well you’re moving things around as you’re talking about them. If I didn’t own this game, I would feel frustrated as it’s hard to get a good look at things from your video. I disagree about the game being under developed, I think it was over developed. Nothing in the game feels really broken. I think the game needed a bit more “big move” moments. The game feels too balanced. It’s an area control game, but the important areas to control are the points of interest, not really the districts. You don’t really need to control the districts as much as points of interest. Hence why combat doesn’t feel “big’ like Blood Rage. I hope it comes back to KS. They did bring Hate back, so…. Fingers crossed. Overall a good video
Painted everything in a month? Yeah I’m looking at more a showcase finish for mine even though it’s for a board game. I’m halfway through side gig, finished motor pool. Probably take me 3 months to complete as I’m painting the lot, no sundrop/ wash only look. As a painter I don’t consider wash only minis as painting. Makes me laugh when people pay a fortune for sundrop minis that you can do yourself and cheaper. Think you’ll find you had some of those cars in wrong place. That’s why they wouldn’t go in the tray.
Yeah the gang stuff that’s only washed/dry brushed isn’t exactly “painted” but I wanted those pieces to be clearly identifiable as belonging to their respective gang and that seemed like the best way to do it. Especially when so many of the gangs have very similar color schemes.
@@Crabbok great, because I recently played the game and had mixed feelings. Well, components, art, and overall production quality are outstanding, but the ruleset... I don't now, it's OK I think, but definitely not breathtaking, for me.

He doesn’t actually play it. Just a rundown how to play. Not sure what’s different from skim through as you put it.

'Panam is a kickstarter exclusive' ... see? stuff like that makes my interest go from full-out to non-existent!
*Credibility 😉
Also, what are the little clip boxes you use for storing the gangs?

What scale are miniatures? 28~32mm?

Thanks for the review!
Can I least get the name of the containers? Can’t find them on Amazon and I want to organize it like how you did.

Love that you have a Samurai t shirt to go with this vid & game
I'm chippin' in!

Interesting thanks for sharing it with us
Good review, thanks.
Love this game! My one bad game experience was with the scavengers- they were way too brutal and dampened the mood at the table for us
Do you think this is a worthwhile game for two players, otherwise there are polar opinions on BGG or should I immediately sell my Kickstarter all-in, since we only play with two people?
I usually play it with 2 also and enjoy it
@Crabbok
didn't you feel that the map was very loose and some gangs were unbalanced for a two-player game? :)
I’m looking forward to getting my expansions in the mail this week
You got the link to those containers?
Did you ever find these containers? I could use those for marvel united, zombicide... so many games.
Good video and over view. This game was a hidden gem for me, I wasn’t expecting it to be as enjoyable as it was.

It looks like a pretty interesting game.
Hadn't paid any attention to this game but the second you said CMON it was a reason to not get into it.

Ok, its pretty detailed review... But....Is it Worth it?
For me? absolutely!
