“Possibly my number 1 party game of all time. This never fails to engage everyone at the table. I've even seen anti-gamers get drawn in after watching a couple of rounds. Its simple, fun and gets everyone involved (any age) A must have if you're into party games. Similar basis to the game Wavelength but much better executed in my opinion.”

Overall


What a game! This is awesome. If you want a flavour of Skirmish/RPG/Dungeon Crawler.. boom. This is exactly that. That’s literally what Battle Systems offer you. 

Pros: 

Tons of characters, tons of abilities, feels like hundreds of options and variety. Almost like the freedom of options you’d get from DnD or RPG’s but in a sci fi dungeon crawler. So much fun and just can’t stop thinking about it. 

Cons:

Base game rule book is 100+ pages.. expect to have that rule book in your hands all the time. Not that the game is super complex.. but it’s just an avalanche of options.. so you’re always looking up what something does… in case you wanted to do it. 

Next up is cardboard. Personally I don’t like cardboard terrain. Each time you move it you risk damaging it, and one spilled drink and you’re done.. would love, and even pay extra for STL files for 3D Printable Terrain. 

Summary: 

If you like Dungeon Crawlers with immersion and options but don’t want to go the whole 40k route, this is the game you’re looking for.
