Couldn't play it with myself, but enjoyed the read through. Super polished, both from a visual design perspective, and a gameplay perspective. Complicated, so it might need another hint or two, but it strikes me as the kind of game that grows with your understanding of it.
Really hoping I have time to print and test this, it looks very interesting
I played with my girlfriend. The visual presentation is strong, and I appreciate that the rules are only ~1 page. I would have appreciated some mech appropriate counters and player tokens. The best we had at hand were marbles and Tums tablets.
jeu sympa avec plein de bonnes idées. J'adore le fait que les règles soient si simples et que tout figure sur les cartes. Très bon design pour l'utilisateur.
Les règles sont simples mais les décisions sont difficiles à prendre. Au début j'ai un peu galéré pour prévoir les 4 enchaînements de manière efficace. Je me suis dit c'est pour les gros cerveaux. Et puis on s'habitue ou alors le cerveau grossit grâce au jeu?---D
Plusieurs parties avec des combis différentes. Plutôt fun, on se prend au jeu et on a envie de tester d'autres combinaisons pour détruire au plus vite le mécha adverse. Quelques petites modifs pour ajouter du rythme ou améliorer l'équilibre entre les combinaisons ?
Le draft en début de partie est indispensable.
Merci fae
Played a few times, it was fun. It's nice how complex it can get although the basis is really simple. Makes me want to see developments, like funnier effects and synergies.
It looks like that touhou rpg fighting system, but made into a standalone rpg, might be good for few plays, but I don’t see any further expansions without changing the core
Extremely cool design!!! I especially liked the secondary effects on the armament cards, I could imagine Arimahz as a berserker, Oto-Mei regenerating itself, and Silver Chord ddodging and darting around
Thank you so so much!
That's the idea. They're manufacturers, so their designs all have their specificities! The design space can accommodate for 3 more manufacturers, and I want to also name the parts and effects to make the flavor shine through even more!
