Mythic Battles looks pretty neat, sort of an advanced take on Manouvre but with some sort of miniatures-y special unit functions. I finally got through to someone at Iello, they sent over Mythic Battles and Titanium Wars. Review at No High Scores, per tradition.Īll other games right now are lesser in stature, but there’s still some decent new ones to look at. The multiplayer is great at any number, the solitaire game is superb.
I still want more, and I’ll play it again tonight. I’ve played it every night since I got it, and multiple times on a few nights. Its narrative variety and potential for expansion means that it’s going to have longevity. I usually don’t turnaround game reviews so quickly, but I’ve already played this game more than enough to get a handle on why it’s so good. This game reminds me a lot of Agricola- it’s worker placement, you get a random selection of technologies every game, you’ve got to maintain food supply and building material sources, and it has a similar cyclical turn structure but with weather happening instead of seasonal changes. It’s an amazing, rich, detailed design that somehow manages to be a pretty chunky Eurogame but with more specific story material than most games that have followed on from the Talisman/Arkham Horror models. It’s one of the best adventure games I’ve ever played, and it may very well be the best co-op I’ve ever played. Robinson Crusoe, as far as I’m concerned, is the game of 2013. We have a Game of the Year…unless something really, really special comes along in the next four months. Time to wrap up 2013, the year in gaming.
