Liked more than expected, but the all unique pieces, mandatory app, limited scenarios (ONLY 4!), too long play time, left a really leaves a bad taste

По сути этой игре не нужна игра, почти все происходит в приложении и это очень неудобно. Неудобно искать тайлы которые никак не пронумерованы, неудобно проходить проверки, которые каждый раз на разные характеристики, неудобно менеджить большое число врагов. Сами сценарии при этом не шибко интересные и с запасом проигрывают карточному ужасу аркхэма. В это можно играть, но желательно в TTS или если ведущим будет другой бедняга.

Cooperative Ameritrash horror dungeon crawler in the Lovecraft universe with App integration which is a big improvement over the first edition. It is more about the story than strategic decision because dice resolve events. Pros: + Artwork (colorful, detailed, app is okay/good) + Components (minis, tokens, tiles) + Tense exploration (constant uncertainty) + App integration (for set-up, for random events, for monsters, replaces the dungeon master) + Different story scenarios some with random map layout (replayability, variability) + Different characters with special abilities and insanity cards + Cool insanity system where players get additional private goals to fulfill (even traitor) + Modular board and different scenarios + Quick set-up due to app + Easy to teach Neutrals: # Cthulhu theme # Some mini games on the App, e.g., for lock picking # Solo game # Base game: same story for each scenario. Only events, enemies, and equipment change (more scenarios needed over time for replayability) # Not about puzzly decisions but experience, atmosphere, and story-driven Negatives: - Many dice rolls to resolve (for skill checks, combat), little depth - Some scenario have very high playing time - No interrupts like in the first edition (fix game structure) Similar games: * T.I.M.E Stories (trial and error when replaying scenarios, a lot of skill tests) * Arkham Horror: The Card Game (customizable bag instead of dice, customizable character decks, living card game, random events, story-driven) * Arkham / Eldritch Horror (long playing time, random events, story-driven, roll to resolve) * Deep Madness (coop dungeon crawler with some more puzzly elements / interaction with the underwater environment, insanity system, much more focus on fighting than story-driven)
