In the near future, the mega-corporations of the military-industrial complex have invested trillions developing cybernetically enhanced clone soldiers for off-world exploration. Seeking to build robust teams for future missions — and more importantly, to land lucrative government contracts — they have created special training islands. On these islands, they are able to simulate all of the deadly conditions their soldiers may face on remote planets.
To fund these expensive programs and the military-grade innovations built into their test subjects, the arms manufacturers have teamed up with media moguls to create and promote broadcast competitions live from the island’s training grounds. Thus was born “RELOAD”, the biggest TV show on the planet, with the most charismatic and capable subjects competing in front of millions of avid viewers to win fame for themselves and fortunes for their creators.
In Reload, you get to engage in this battle-royale experience thanks to an innovative action dice system that offers fast-paced play and the freedom to explore the island while fighting for fame.

Forget everything you think you knew about Reload. This season we bring you a brand new way to play: Capture the Flag!
In this new game mode, teams of players compete on specially designed maps to win the love of the crowd not only through the usual crowd-pleasing ways but also through capturing the other team’s flag and returning it to their HQ!

The rulebook. What a travesty. I found it very very difficult to learn this, I went back to the rulebook almost every turn, and later found out I was still getting some core rules incorrect. I think the game is slightly over produced, in the name of having a physical 'highlight reel' of all of your accomplishments at the end of the game. Was it necessary? I don't know, I wasn't playing the game correctly. The variable player powers felt really underwhelming (read: completely pointless). I had the character that's meant to be super nimble and agile, but their ability is objectively worse to use than the normal movement. It definitely feels like its trying to do something here. There's heaps of maps, they're pushing the storytelling element with the play-by-play track things. But it just doesn't come together. Oh yeah, and all the minis were bent. Poor quality plastic? Bad packaging?
