Massive Darkness Gameplay

[@iamryanlittle]

Hi guys!!! I'm Ryan Little! I'm super honored to have my music in this video. Be sure to subscribe to my channel here on KZbin for more music and new releases :)

[@ugle118]

It took them an hour to get down a hallway and off the first board... i hope it plays faster irl.

[@patrickstangier9487]

Can someone tell me how the barbarian heals at 58:57 ? All of his equipment that triggers healing (Plague Sword, Armor of Life) only works on Attack BAMs, but the BAM he rolled was on a defense die.

[@r.l.savage6077]

At 45:30, shouldn't the other minions have added a couple of automatic wounds or did I misunderstand what you'd said earlier about attacking groups?

[@PedroSanchez-kq5du]

R.S. Lawrence i tought the same

[@montefraser4291]

that you for clarifying in this video that these aren't final production models

[@DelialFallen]

Getting my copy on Tuesday! Looks fun.

[@cloud97402]

Barbarian should also have taken 2 damage @ 46:00 because the 'supporting' orcs that are giving 2 additional damage.... as he explained literally 30 seconds before he said he took no damage lol

[@shaunhutton2201]

what's the draw back to shadow mode because I can't see why you would use it all the time.

[@ChristopherBiasbas]

So how long would a single gaming session last? How many hours for an entire campaign?

[@exousia2002]

Where are the enemy counter-attacks?

[@davidblackman1586]

Not sure what Amanda does as a "staff" member. But she should lead ALL of their future videos. The quit and start her own YT channel.

[@Miss_ESL]

I'm with you on the "she should quit" part...

[@Cheonging101]

I'm sorry. Amanda is really distracting me from the gameplay with her awesome cuteness.

[@OriginalNuckChorris]

Are her pair of knockers part of her cuteness?

[@Cheonging101]

What? OMG! You terrible, chauvinistic, sexist, lustful - yes. Yes, it is.

[@Cheonging101]

+Jack Blackthorn I doubt you know what that means. XD

[@Miss_ESL]

Amanda is distracting me with her constant unnecessary chattering.

[@Cheonging101]

+Beth L It's not distracting me from what I'm focusing on at all though.

[@Marco48375]

Will there be part two at some point?

[@stevemayne24]

I hope so. At the very least I'd like to see how combat vs the big monster works itself out.

[@TheAlfadir]

amandaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i am so in love with your hair!! brilliant game guys my airbrush is gonna hate me!

[@silvanolollato3997]

Hello, congratulations for the video and also for the game that must be beautiful. I wanted to know if it will come out in Italian. Thank you.

[@MisiDgr]

I may be wrong but i think you forgot to add the +5 damage to the barbarian bloodlust skill (spend 3xp, use your charge skill at no action cost. the ensuing melee action gains +5damage) when you charged in ;) -- around 39:18 -- Anyway nice video to see a real gameplay would love to see a boss fight but i guess i (we) will experience it when the game arrives

[@cloud97402]

I saw that too lol. Funny how us first time viewers seem to see more than the creators ;)

[@ThanatoselNyx]

I believe that the defenders spawned a dude, so they just didn't add a guy to account for the +5 and one extra wound on a minion. But then later, on the second attack, they added a dude even though the defenders didn't bam! The wizard f-ed up, and the barbarian forgot.

[@galadan88]

I think they also forgot the +2 hits on the barbarian from the supporting orcs on their attack right after. Gotta say this kind of stuff always happens when they play in front of a camera and it's not like it makes the game any less awesome!

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

I actually enjoyed that... but damn that's a lot of enemies spawning. Love the minis too!!!

[@eirikjohnsbraten6370]

Didn't they lose the game when Amanda was defeated the second time?

[@MaesMust]

This looks really great, the only thing that bothers me is using the markers to mark off exp, skills and wounds, I really dig the zombicide pegs and sliders. Not terrible, just feels a little sloppy, but aside from that this looks pretty great.

[@FirstTimeGamerLongTimeListener]

Dymion This is a rough draft of the game. I think they are using a similar setup​ for character cards as they did in Black Plague.

[@StereoChimps]

i have zombicide black plague and i just wish the drawings were more detailed just like the magic cards it would be awesome i just dont like the cartoon type of art! but the game is awesome and this one looks really fun

[@whitebuffulo]

I don't have black plague zombicide and just saw this, anyone got some feedback for me on which one I should get? may not get much time to play with others unfortunately and my kids are a little young for it yet but this looks quite good.

[@lemoolscript]

With me owning Black Plague, the replayability offered by Massive Darkness is much better, with the mere addition of enemies having abilities and also with them having equipment which they use and you could loot, Massive Darkness would be the better bet.

[@marcoslima5689]

Massive Darkness 2 Edition in 2021 Cmon ???

[@qctireuralex123]

you must be happy

[@yasirer]

It's not a 2nd edition, it's a sequel to the first one.

[@Filthyy1]

barb should of took a wound from the rat event also 46:00

[@nicolacerato5029]

there will be a second part to the video?? pleasee

[@TheRwodzu]

Nice. I like it all except picking items from bosses after killing them on range :/ Maybe they should just drop it ???

[@Alex-sj9uq]

Radek Zemsta house rule hah

[@LunarBlues02]

i just bought zbp and this game looks way better still love bp but man i wished i was into board games when this kick starter was goin on

[@ugle118]

Not a huge fan of the 40k style swarm of minis that die with one damage.

[@terrywilliams6012]

Good to see ladies play and good video.

[@MrDragonkin]

+ nice miniatures + a lot of miniatures + nice board - no story - no challenges - no choices - leveling-up in every room (lol) Is this game really that weak (comparing to other available dungeon crawlers) or am I missing something?

[@BoscoBlood]

I am an Heroquest player and it's 25 years i am not positive into buying another "dungeon crawler", because they are not "crawler" anymore, they are just "combat games" now. No story, little choices about exploration. I have pledged this one for the awesome minis, as you said, and because I wanted to own a game without Master (in Heroquest the Master is mandatory) because sometimes you can be without one. I think that a cons you said (no story) it's just because you have no Master. Who is telling the story? No one. It will be just an 'objective' type of game, I suppose. Which can also be fun, just for the group cooperation and the gameplay, because the game looks kind of "hard", which is very nice. Maybe they made a Book with some campaigns? I hope they are a decent number...it would be nice to have some background on the missions.

[@MrDragonkin]

I prefer games with no master as I mainly play solo. Shadows of Brimstone works fantastic this way, but some other games are quite good too, eg. Descent 2 with mobile app or Wizards adventure games based on D&D.

[@xGarrettThiefx]

Seems like a bland co-op experience only. 1) This game needs more antagonistic interaction between the players. Maybe the players should have some ulterior motive or quest to kill one another during the course of the dungeon run. 2) Also more thievery for the rogue eg picking locks, disarming traps, back stabbing other players etc. The character is rogue in name only. 3) Why / how can you spend points leveling up while in the dungeon ?

[@FitzRurisk]

I totally aggree with you... No stealth behavior (accept "I'm hidden lol"), no traps, backstab, picklock : this is a really bad point for me. No town nor NPC for market / leveling... Well, that's definitely a pity aswell... I'd have also loved a wider inventory with more than the 3 : R hand / L Hand / Body slots I've pledged $1 for now (as 785 other backers have), and I'll wait to see if things change... But I'm underwhelmed for now :/

[@hellrazoromega]

So folks are asking why instant leveling? Or why the Gauntlet style monster generator and it occurs to me that the answer is that this is and attempt to translate a Gauntlet style video game into a board game. I'm just not getting why people are suggesting a "town" mechanic to level. If this were a full RPG then fine but for a hybrid that sort of thing would slow game-play down immensely. I do however agree some sneaking and thievery (trap disarming and the like) would be nice.The beauty of this game is that it looks like anyone with an RPG GMing experience can tweak these rules in a day or less to make this a nice dungeon crawler. Even though I am mostly in it for the minis and tiles to use for RPG's I'll just house rule the crap out of the rules for the board game if I want to play that.

[@danishmagpie6494]

That was a really good example of bad group play... 3 of them are more interested in gathering loot and exchanging it among themselves than to help out their 4th member and kill off the enemies.

[@justinbolles9645]

Looks amazing!

[@samoht67]

Part 2 at all?

[@BurtDavis]

This looks like an awesome dungeon crawl game. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

[@OneManMilitia69]

no Orc characters :O

[@QorDaq]

Good stuff folks!

[@Mathewulf]

Tem BR na Cool Mini Or Not??

[@w.robert3844]

Dudes keep over-talking the woman on the left (Carol), and suggesting stuff for her to do instead of letting her take her turn. Chill guys.

[@bbpoison7954]

I have a massive darkness in my pants

[@kossowankenobi]

Ya, gameplay seems underwhelming. I've been looking for a good fully co-op RPG for a while now and this doesn't look like it'd make the table. I'd say lose the "hide in shadows" gimmick and give us some real decisions to make.

[@microcolop]

have you already checked out "zombicide: black plague" ?

[@LeeroyPorkins]

You guys should make a Dice Tower Promo for MD called Throat Punchers vs. Cthulhu. The three Heroes would be Tom, Sam, and Zee. The monster would be Cthulhu as he's public domain now. And the class would be called Throat Punchers ;)

[@Gorn21]

I still dont know if i will support the projekt. The game looks intresting but it feels like you guys play it a bit wrong healing potion stealth in light spaces still stealth after attaking... it just feels wrong. English isn't my native language so let grammar and typos where they are.

[@simba2k8]

This game looks seriously underwhelming. I am pledged but it looks like I won't keep it. What a disappointment.

[@QorDaq]

See, I'm in the opposite boat; I have been looking forward to the game, and wanting to learn more about it since MD was announced. However, I was feeling a little underwhelmed by the teases we'd been getting. Now, having seen some actual gameplay, my concerns are pretty much gone.

[@yabyab]

What part of the game do you not like? I'm curious. My disappointment was the fact it's Zombicide 2.0, which in a way is a plus and a minus. It's good that you don't need to learn a completely new game and it's bad because it almost plays like Zombicide.

[@cihansimsek3522]

yeah, looks like a bad copy of a Descent/Mansion of Madness hybrid. Good artwork, good minis but bad rules... sorry guys. I know you collected tons of money from the Kickstarter in first day but if you will not develop the game mechanics, game will be a one time hit for 'minis'...Afterall you will make money for that.... :)

[@daedalus25]

Unfortunately, I'm leaning towards Striker J on this one. I'm always excited about new CMoN games. The game is doing very well on Kickstarter, so I almost jumped on board with an automatic pledge, but I decided to watch the gameplay video first. This video killed a lot of my interest. I wouldn't call this game Zombicide 2.0 either. There's already a Zombicide 2.0 called Black Plague, and I love that game for what it is. For this game, I was hoping for something to function as a co-op version of Descent, but sadly it just fell flat for me. Fortunately, Descent created its own co-op variant for tablets that has been loads of fun to play. I know this is going to be another successful campaign for CMoN. Just attaching their name to a game pretty much assures it'll be highly profitable. But I'll personally just wait until this goes into the bargain bin at my FLGS.

[@gorem8]

I get all the complains and i tend to agreed with it all. But as someone that just played (and loved) Zombicide a single time and was aiming to buy Black Plague it seems a good deal. They all seem very close gameplay wise, but since i don't own any Zombicide, Massive Darkness looks like a good entry point.

[@darak2]

Gameplay looks really poor. Everything is complex and slow to play, yet the game seems to have no depth to justify it. None of the decisions the players make seem to be interesting at all. It's just sad how modern dungeon crawlers are just bad. There is no exploration component, everything is way too random, and the scenario's narrative (if there is any) is poorly reflected, with barely any influence in the game itself. No wonder people are still playing HeroQuest, which was a very simple game with some balance issues, but at least came with all the ingredients you'd expect. Game designers nowadays seem to be obsessed with mechanics, random number generators and statistics, but somehow they forgot it was supposed to be all about having fun.

[@a.7801]

don't forget fancy looking mini's to lure people in!

[@iiformales]

the mechanic for spike shield inflicting enemy from range should be fixed. that's lame.

[@ridFrenzy]

If you listen when they first read out the description it said it hit a mob in the target zone. They just did it wrong.

[@Miss_ESL]

Amanda is fucking annoying. Her constant interruptions really cloud the flow of the explanation of gameplay. I cheered when she got knocked out. Game looks good. Hopefully by the time of release there will be more of a storyline for missions.

[@microcolop]

you seem envious

[@Miss_ESL]

+microcolop except I'm not. I found her constant interruptions really annoying. I wanted to know about the game play, because I've bought in to the KS. I feel I would have seen more of it if she hadn't been constantly interrupting. I have nothing to be envious of, other than the fact she has a pretty sweet job... as they all do.

[@hlorridi6411]

I like Dungeon Saga more...

[@miir75]

Ok, just another generic dungeon crawler... nothing to see here, moving on...
