Heroscape Review - w/ Game Vine

Today we look at a throwback game. One of our favorites though, Heroscape is a 3d experience of muti-dimensioal proportions. Check it out as we do an overview and tell ya what we think, enjoy.

There are a ton of things that you guys are playing incorrectly, you may want to read the rule book again. Or ask questions on the heroscapers question dump. The range on melee figures such as samurai is a range of 1, which is an adjacent space, not within two spaces away. Also, the outline of the fall damage you described is for extreme fall damage, which comes into play when your figure falls more than 20 spaces below his base. If the figure falls at the same amount of spaces he is tall or more up to 20 you roll one un-blockable attack die. I like you guys, love this game, and have most of all the expansions. My name is TREX on Heroscapers, and I would be more than happy to help you guys learn this wonderful game better.

yeah we do play with all the rules correct. i was rushing to get the rules explained and it is easy to say things wrong. lol trust me we know how to play this game. it is hard sometime to bring that into the video. thanks for the comment, and for watching. Ill do my best to do better :) but i do want you and all the fans to keep me honest.

Just picked up the Valkyrie master set, the castle and a few expansions (all opened) for $20 from a local facebook post :D. I just counted everything up and everything is complete too! Was an exciting score for me!

[@Hscaper]

the progression of beard growth from left to right at the intro!

[@GameVinereviews]

Right?!? Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@BURRDAWG_]

It's free on tabletop simulator

[@TMoney699]

Renegade Game Studios is bringing HeroScape back 100% official. March 1 will be a virtual con where they'll show off the first wave and pre-orders open.

[@GameVinereviews]

I just seen, that's such awesome news right?!? Thanks for watching

[@AnActualAnus]

Wow, had this game when I was an awkward middle-schooler and ended up selling it (the starter set) a couple years ago for around $10. What was I thinking?

[@rzq100]

Same man. I regret it so much. Although a bunch of the figures I had were broken.

[@themesongfan452]

@@rzq100 With any luck, you guys will be able to purchase the new Heroscape: Age of Annihilation set coming out soon and start your collections over again.

Also building tip, Idk I had allot of OCD when building, but I used the black asphalt pieces from the Marvel set for building lava fields and/or mountains. lol I would always use all the pieces but the concrete. Sand was a pain in my ass too, cool for swaps and beaches, but I always used it as base tiles.

[@WannaBeRockStar800]

STONEhenge 47 I agree. I love using the asphalt with the lava, works great as Like harden magma. And as for sand I make a cool colosseum map people like for my tournaments but other than that I sometimes line water tiles but many use it for base tile.

[@ARCcommand]

I do the same thing with the asphalt, I also use the concrete with the snow (it kind of looks like slightly "dirty" snow)

[@GameVinereviews]

Love all of this peeps

[@cobracao1327]

FYI - at 12:34, you are counting the move of the Samarai. The movement would have actually cost you 6 points. Simplified - You count the sides of the tiles you are climbing as well as the top of the tile you actually land on. :) Happy Scaping!

[@GameVinereviews]

You are 100 percent there. I was rushing and forgot to mention. This helps our community. Thank you for the help😊

[@ballsofdoom3124]

Best game of all time!

[@themesongfan452]

The Battle of All Time *is* the Best Game of All Time! That's why they're bringing it back.

[@AGO339]

back in the day the only sets i didnt get were the marvel ones because fuck crossovers, and i think a couple small "heres a couple characters" sets i miss playing this as a kid

[@themesongfan452]

I stubbornly tried to do that too, but my kids' budget and teaching-me-the-value-of-money parents weren't enough to get me anywhere close before the game's cancellation. I plan to be much more stubborn now that I'm on an adult budget and Hasbro is preparing to bring Heroscape back.

[@bundeewaje790]

I'm just lucky to have gotten a shit ton back in the day, plus a whole bunch from old friends. I have 3 Master sets, 2 Swamp sets, the Castle set, the Lava set, the Forrest set, the Jungle set, and the Marvel set and I have a lot of the character expansions. Pulled it down from the attic for the first time in years. Tried to get my friends into it, they liked it but it just took too long and we never finished the game. It's a hassle to build just because it takes me a few hours, I remember spending 5 hours on one because I wanted to do sky bridges across the whole map(sounds weird but it looked really nice) It's mostly the Castle set which is a royal bitch. Sliding the walls and ladders together can be a pain in the ass, and the whole lot of the pieces I've easily broken and other than that the only pieces easily breakable are some water tiles (which is really in inconveniencing, plus one of my sets has the sparkling water tiles which I don't like to mix with the plain ones out of OCD) I really wanted the Ice set even back in the day. Need to get 2 Ice sets and 1 more Lava and Jungle set and a few Castle and Forest sets. Also that DD set looks good for some dessert/mountain or I was thinking cave maps.

[@nachocheez9690]

Hope you were able to get people to play it with

[@Hscaper]

i have some building tips if you need. find my reddit /PixiePieRy for some

[@GameVinereviews]

That's amazing!!

[@johnhirst9395]

It is one of my favorite games it's so underrated

[@themesongfan452]

Well, Hasbro has reevalutated its rating and is preparing to release new sets at long last.

[@bryansullivan1236]

last time I played this game I was 8 I was playing since I was 5 it's a very easy very simple amazing game

[@themesongfan452]

Heroscape returns! Two days ago, AvalonHillGames tweeted a teaser for an upcoming Heroscape release. The Heroscapers website and Sir Heroscape's youtube channel are on top of the unfolding news and confirming it is legit. Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is coming!

[@GameVinereviews]

This is big news thx for telling me

[@kylepaine9752]

lmao I got this for 30 dollars at a flea market. Call me fucking lucky lol. The set is Rise Of The Valkrie

[@themesongfan452]

If you enjoy it, try checking out the upcoming Heroscape: Age of Annihilation set when it drops.

[@Todengel1313]

Tabletop Simulator has Heroscape in the community workshop if finding the game is too much trouble

[@themesongfan452]

Quite true, but with any luck it won't be too much trouble to find the physical game for much longer...

[@heroscape-legends5067]

Very nice video! Just curious, are you guys aware that they are attempting to release a new heroscape wave that Hasbro is crowd funding?

[@GameVinereviews]

I have seen that yes, and it's super exciting! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@danielramirez3347]

Building up the map does not take away from the game at all. The reason this game is out of print is probably actually because humans aren't worthy.

[@sideswipeholic1060]

I have a toy box full of heroscape and I have a marvel character set.

[@jodiss2148]

Sideswipe holic are you willing to sell?

[@themesongfan452]

@@jodiss2148 Hasbro is apparently willing to sell. They announced two days ago that new Heroscape sets are in production.

[@grassCrow]

whats the difference between out of print and “highly out of print”; LOL

[@themesongfan452]

If it's *highly* out of print, they never bring it back, but if it's just out of print, they might. So Heroscape must not be highly out of print because they're bringing it back!

[@relyonreliable]

Hey guys I got the fortress of the archkyrie if you're interested cause I'm not lol.

[@GameVinereviews]

relyonreliable are you selling it?

[@relyonreliable]

+Game Vine yea make me a offer, actually email me, I'll take a picture and show you what I got cause I got a box full I don't know what's there. Also I'm in Australia.

[@relyonreliable]
