Description from the publisher:

We are in grave danger. Enemies are swarming around the ship, and they will not go down without a fight. We'll have to work together in order to get out of this one alive. We're going to need a plan, and we need it fast. Let's not let these...things...outsmart us, outnumber us, and certainly not outshoot us! I need you all to do what you do best. Got it? Let's do this!

• An action-packed cooperative experience for you and your friends to conquer.
• Modular components allow players to craft their own missions.
• Includes a campaign of scenarios to test your courage and inspire your creativity.

Quotes (from this video)
  • So remember, if your number one tower defense game isn't on this list, that's because I haven't played it or B that we think it's complete and utter dog [__].
  • Castle Panic's a fantastic game to play with children and stupid people that don't understand board games.
  • It is actually quite a skillful game, but then I suppose you could argue that it's quite lucky as well, but games with an adequate level of skill and luck combined are generally the best games, aren't they?
  • There's like a billion and one scenarios for Zombicide.
  • This game is so [__] difficult, I think we've only beaten it once in like over 20 years.
  • So, this is tense. It will make your testicles rise into your pelvis like a balloon moving through the stratosphere.
  • And it's just a shame that these sort of games with this sense of theme aren't really made anymore.
  • Dawn of the Zeds third edition is a fantastic production.
  • Carnival Zombie's got a fantastic theme.
  • Ghost Stories is one of a kind.
  • Ghost Stories is a challenge that you'll keep coming back to because we've only beaten it. We have never beaten it.
  • I've never experienced tension like this in a board game.
  • Project Elite is an absolutely superb thematic tense action romp that I've been playing for [__] I don't know, years and years and years and I've never got bored with it and it just gives me a [__] hard-on every time I even think about Project Elite, yeah.
