This was WONDERFUL! Absolutely fantastic Mike. Showing to my family immediately :-)

Short, precise, on the point. Thank you very much. Really good format.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad you enjoy the review style!

[@zifnabdr]

Thanks for the video! Been keeping an eye on this since you all mentioned it last year!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It’s a popular one with the OSCS team

[@pumpkinhead76]

Woot glad to contribute to the channel and see the vid!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You’re a hero!

[@pencilpauli9442]

Thanks as always for a great review, Mike. I'm glad you mentioned the writing in the game. Was very entertained by it when watching Colin's playthrough. I'm kind of torn whether to dive in the new KS or not. The initial outlay is very high for me, but it looks such a good game!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah, it’s a bit pricey if you go for it all, but man I’m happy to have this one personally, and I’m going for all the new stuff :)

[@sandrabasel1545]

I got so excited that I posted the link on the unsettled Facebook group. After two minutes I realised my mistake (I am a patreon and have early access) and deleted the post. Still: I am very sorry! I didn't need convincing to back this come tuesday, Colin already got me hooked, but thank you for the review, I love the short format.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Aw, not a big deal. Thanks for wanting to post it, and thanks for taking it back down until Tuesday :) And yeah, this game is great. Our podcast on it posted today, and Peter loves it too. That’s 3 for 3 among the OSCS team :)

[@tonybowers9490]

Thanks for sharing. Another excellent review from you. Only downside - it's going to hurt my pocketbook when I purchase this one! Which I'm going to do based on your review.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah, that all-in price isn’t cheap!

[@brianthompson5225]

Thanks for the 5 in 5 Mike. Really like the series. I had a question on the additional planets. Is there something that ties your progress through the various planets in the base game and beyond. Second question: Pertaining to the replayability aspect you mentioned. Is there a similar game to this that has some more replayability or perhaps a little combat? Though i realize from a story perspective replayability would contradict the great narrative nature. Thanks!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

For the first question, there is no campaign mode, so every planet and play is its own separate thing. As for your second question, I’d recommend some of the sci-fi dungeon crawlers. For example, rogue angels recently crowdfunded and has combat mixed with exploration

[@CanjeStudios]

Love it, this was my game of the year as well. I'm excited for more planets.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Heck yes, I’m in for them all

[@orangetoucan148]

​@@OneStopCoopShop You must know this already but two more planets (10 and 11) were released this week on Orange Nebula's website. No more crowdfunding. Available now, you could review them next week! 😄

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@orangetoucan148 I backed the entire second crowdfunding campaign, but haven't played THOSE planets yet, so I'm definitely not buying two more, lol

[@christian_daigle]

Cool review Mike. This games looks so much fun... but man, so many games !

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I know, always more and more. I’m curious to see what the new price is when the second Kickstarter launches today

[@crepusculo1027]

Hey Mike, any insight on playing this one solo vs multiplayer? Is the solo basically Multi-Handed, or true solo? Does it lose some charm? Or is it actually faster and better?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I've played it solo and 2-4 player. Like I mentioned in the review, the only possible drawback of multiplayer is that, with no hidden information, you could have alpha player issues. As for solo, I played with 2 characters and it works great. In the end it's really a big tactical puzzle of exploring and moving your people around and using abilities, so controlling 2 characters makes the puzzle even more interesting, but still not overwhelming in my experience. Colin has a bunch of plays on the channel showing off 2 character play, if you want to check them out.

[@manschristenssons6116]

Thanks for showing me this game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for checking out the video

[@ryangilmore3678]

I don't think you touched on the solo aspect. It seems like it can be solo'd by multi-handing, were you able to try that out? If you did, did you enjoy it? Thanks! Love your content as always!!

[@EricWoning]

It's also how Colin played it. But as Mike already mentions - Coop is with total open information, so you're not really missing out on something by playing it solo

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Solo was 100% fine for me. Like Eric said, it’s an open-information puzzle, so solo just means you have a bit more tactical load by yourself. I had fun with the puzzle if it all!

[@ryangilmore3678]

@@OneStopCoopShop Awesome! Thanks so much again, your content is absolutely what I want. Solo focused, quick and to the point, pros and cons. You're the place I start to give me the basic info and then I can dive in deeper with other content.

[@herr_der_spiele]

Thx for the cool Review 👍

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching

[@EricWoning]

I think it's important that the KS version started out with 4 planets (for $90) - I understand retail is a different beast... but for KS backers I guess that we'd get the KS version+, not the retail version+ If not - I guess I'm not backing.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes, very interested to see how they price things in the new campaign. Hopefully there is a reasonable pledge level with a bunch of planets!

[@EricWoning]

@@OneStopCoopShop agree... just released. As I'm from the UK if you start comparing....it basically is a price hike of 50%. Base + 4 planets + sleeves = $ 180, add 20% VAT = $216 vs $134 last time. Not to mention shipping on a separate xls because they don't want people to pin them down on what they quoted before.... I wanted to buy it but I can't really justify that. Too bad, but happy they made the decision easy for me.

[@Filthyanimal9]

@@EricWoning base with 4 planets and sleeves is $140 - still a ton of money but not quite &180 insane

[@elqord.1118]

@@EricWoning Absolutely insane. They can gtfo with that pricing.

[@EricWoning]

@@elqord.1118 A bit strongly worded.... but yes - I do share this sentiment.

[@Veryghoster]

How about the footprint of the game?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It’s not too terrible at lower player counts, but can get fairly unwieldy with 3 or 4 without a big table

[@Veryghoster]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks

[@freddyhidding3378]

Thanks for the review ! I think this one isn't for me !

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That’s the best kind of support I can provide sometimes. Helping someone avoid a game they won’t like ;)
