Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this game and played it with a bunch of friends. I can safely say that, as long as you enjoy a dungeon crawling type game, you should enjoy this. The rules are not convoluted or terribly confusing (But for a few things the rules are not explicitly clear on). The marines have many strategies open to them (and the more marines there are, the more strategies that can be used). It would require an incredibly lengthy review to go into the mechanics of the game in detail, so I'll just give the basics.
One person plays the Invaders. They control the demons and use action cards to try and mess up the marines (like Dud, that makes one of their ammo disappear, or Jammed, which jams a weapon for a turn). Everyone else (up to three) play Marines. The more marines there are, the harder the game gets. More enemies are spawned. The marines start with less health, etc. Yet, using teamwork, it gets just as hard for the Invader player if they are good at working together.
The goals: The invader has to kill the marines a number of times, dictated by the scenerio. The Marines (usually) have to navigate the map, find the red key, and escape the red door, before that number of kills is reached. Pretty basic.
The map itself is most of the fun. It is constantly being built, since the marines cannot see what is behind a door. They take a risk opening a door, revealing a new area and new monsters for the invader to take control of.
Anyway, if that sounds like your kind of game, this is one of the best in the genre. I know we all thought it was worth the money. (Though, I'd suggest splitting on it with your friends.)
