@@NinjaGeekGames Dungeon crawlers have exploration, and the good ones have tactics that depend on positioning. Simply having the setting in a dungeon does not make it a dungeon crawler. How is it "crawling" if you just have a location and you don't explore or even travel through the location?

@Gamebent1 you do explore...using tokens where each one requires a different amount and provides a different one. Just because it doesn't have expansive tiles, 100 minis and 40 dice doesn't mean it's not a dungeon crawler.

@MrGreeneyes77 co-op does work well, but solo shines. I've played 3 player - here threats build up very quickly and every round 1 player will be attacked by all of them. However, each of you can engage 1 enemy into your personal play area to mitigate this. There is table talk where you can use skills to support others etc.

All the playthroush doing just like to 1 for 1 and 2 for 2 - also there is this statement which is not okay I guess cuz the 3 should be replace with 3 (I think so): - If 3 is empty, replenish from 2

I'm really disappointed as bumping into this channel. It was a not favorable video at all. Hoping of will to improvement, I sacrifice time to give feedback: - showing the name of the game for short time: please, write the name during the whole section. I see, why you don't want to show it in the segmentation, to make a little cliffhanger, but that is not cool, I watch videos for the information, not for waiting for the moment, when to stop the vid - lack of pics: hey, you describe the games quite fairly, but without proper pics, it makes no sense. exspecially, that you show the 1 pic about the game only at the last section of your segment, that makes no sense - irritating intro: OK, that is absolutely taste issue I know, but for me that annoying music is lame, please try to make memorable, energetic impression is a less awkward way

Totally agree with you! In any top 10 video, a new viewer need to scans the list quickly first what is on the menu before rewatching their interested menu slowly. Sadly in this video, it is hard to do that. Putting the game title permanently on the bottom of each segment for example.

@niekka1978 what a weird comment...who hurt you??? It's ok, we're all friends here. I'm happy to be DM'd if you need to talk...we can work this out together ❤️ To answer your questions: 1. Yes there is a copyright reason...I can't go stealing other creators photos so need to use stock photos. Some of these games aren't released yet so...I'll let you fill in the blanks. 2. Luckily, this is a video, so the 'quick-flash' interesting visuals can be paused at anytime. If you touch your screen whilst it's playing, 2 vertical bars appear - this is the pause icon...I know what you're thinking...you're welcome. In fact, you could even screen shot them, send them via email, print them at work and hang them in your home for your family...it'd be nice and they'd appreciate it. 3. If there are no new games that others have listed, it probably explains why they are on a hot list...these are the hot new games we're looking forward to. It's very likely that other creators have listed at least one of these. Interestingly, had I released my video before them, how would you have raised that question 🤔 4. Boring??? Well, I'm glad I'm at least incredibly good looking, so you have something nice to look at as you start to drift off. In fact...see response number 2...you could screen shot me...email (blah blah blah) and keep a teeny tiny pic of me in your purse...you cheeky monkey 🐒🙈🙊 5. Thanks for the algorithm boost 😉 cheers for watching 🤣🤣🤣 are you at Essen? Would love to meet up and chat.

Throwing boring insults from the safety of your keyboard is, well, just bizarre. I think you got truly owned in Ninja Geek’s response but still wonder what your actual end game was. Were the incel forums full and you just had to try to post something somewhere? As Mark said, your posts will always help the algorithm so, good work - I suppose.

With the expansion and base game the amount of space taken up can't be understated. Its huge taking over the entire room. Its actually too big to the point its unrealistic to expect people to have a table/room big enough. Much better play through than the base game though. Feels more like Descent. If first edition had the app for solo play, i'd be in heaven.

There are three mechanics that make this conversion quite difficult: 1) enemies always attack first; 2) melee enemies cannot miss their attacks (page 16 «Enemy Attacks») while players must reach their enemies before making an attack; 3) players don't recover their discarded cards at the end of a combat (page 19 «End of Player Activation») which means they have to manage their decks in order to win at least a normal encounter immediately followed by a boss one before resting to a bonfire. I am a soulslike player so I find these three rules not a good conversion of the original game. In my honest opinion: 1) an initiative system should have been implemented; 2) rules two from «Enemy Attacks» should have been rewritten as «If there is no character in that space, the enemy moves one space to the nearest character», making the taunt value useless; 3) in the original series, players recovers their energy by using Estus Flasks and other items after a combat so this conversion adds one more difficulty than the videogame by removing them.
