HeroQuest.. but BETTER? Battlesystems Maladum

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Thanks to Battlesystems for sponsring this video. If you like the look of the game, why not get your copy of Maladum here: links.battlesystems.co.uk/bswg

[@MDLuffy1234YT]

I saw the new models painted with 90s colors video (really liked the result tbh), and now we need 90s models painted like modern ones.

[@garathon66]

Battlesystems are a great operation altogether, and I love their terrain, it looks so good. Great vid as ever

[@cjanquart]

First thing that came to my mind was the old Ral Partha Battlesystem when I saw this title. I had the ogre and giant set but got rid of them but still have my dwarves.

[@cyberjonesy]

I just wished they would make space crusade remake. Grew up playing that game, and we had so much fun. A remake would surely be an enormous commercial succes on top of that. At least we have blackstone fortress right now, which is quite good too.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

I'd love that! I have the original here (keep meaning to do a video), and it was so much fun! I have not actually played Blackstone fortress tbf, is it decent?

[@AtcRomans116]

Have you checked out Core Space, it was the predecessor to this game.

This just arrived on my doorstep last weekend and I’m loving exploring it already. The terrain is very simple to make and I can’t wait to start playing the missions. Reminds me a little of Warhammer quest back in the day. Oh and subscribed! I thought I had already but happy to right that wrong. 👍

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Hope you enjoy it! I am keen to hear other peoples opinions on it too. Hoping to get a few friends over and play a few missions, as it looks like a more complex Heroquest, so maybe a good gateway game into other wargames :)

[@Dracobyte]

Nice miniature painting!

[@johnbruce4004]

What's this? 2 videos in 3 days? Christmas has come early 😅 looks like a fun little game 👌how does it compare in your opinions to cursed city?

[@BroadswordWargaming]

I know, that is half a years worth of content! Having a baby must be good for video making! Ooo, good question. It feels "easier", and you have a lot more freedom with you characters. That said, it has more paperwork. The cursed city models are better, but these are still decent. Now I want to play both games for the ultimate showdown!

[@dogtags2010]

Game is nothing like heroquest except its a dungeoncrawl. To compare maladum to heroquest isnt being fair on either game because maladum is much much more involved with alot more involvement. I just finished heroquest a month ago and started maladum, maladum is ace and feels closer to a gateway d and d game.

[@BroadswordWargaming]

It's not really a comparison (more a title to get eyes on this). I love HeroQuest, it was my first game back in the 90s, and still love it now!

[@BroadswordWargaming]

Please the almighty algorithm ❤

[@GRG28248]

Hmmm...immediately I'm turned off by all the extra bits. One of the great things about the original Heroquest is that it's actually quite minimalistic. There's some nice furniture and doors but you don't have to construct rooms or make the map out of disparate pieces that will innevitably stretch off the table or get lost. Also the paper pads included with heroquest provide the best way to track stats instead of those finicky, little, cardboard chips

[@blizzwagz]

@@GRG28248 I understand the hesitation but it’s the little bits that actually make this game great! It does seem like a bit much at first but you get used to it pretty fast. There is so much variety in the different items you can get that it makes every play through very different

[@brettwarner719]

I am always skeptical of a game that has an absurd base name, but then gives another absurd name for the subsection you will be in. They could call it Maladum. But no, its Maladum: Dungeons of Environ. Nope.
