Overall sentiment (raw)

positive

Pros

Shockingly fun combat and dice rolling.
Satisfying integration of the Valhalla expansion.
Satisfying journeys with the Dark Mountains expansion.
Interesting and unique leader powers.
Engaging push and pull between scouting and risking in combat.
Solid, quick, and clean Euro core gameplay.
Game plays faster than expected.

Cons

The Valhalla expansion is considered necessary for the game to go from 'fine and fun' to 'very fun'.
Dice rolls can result in nothing, which can be a terrible feeling in a limited number of rounds.
The game lacks a solo mode (though a solo mode is coming).

Thematic elements

Seeking glory through combat and fulfilling objectives
Viking tribes

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

area majority — One Legend card example mentions having the most 'blame' at the end of the game.

Resource management — Players manage resources like food, coin, and wood.
Secret objectives — Legend cards provide secret contracts or goals for points.
set collection — Points are awarded for collecting sets of different colored dice.
worker placement — The bulk of this is going to be worker placement and a basic Euro style economy.

it is shockingly fun
The addition of the Valhalla expansion is brilliant just brilliant
it's a classic for a reason
it is so much more fun than I thought it was going to be and it play so much faster than I thought it was going to play
The Valhalla that just takes the game from a game that's fine and fun to a game that is very fun
it really needs to glow up just everything about it is fine
I hate to say something like this but I think I would instead of getting a used copy I would be like you know what I'm going to throw down for this 10th anniversary that's coming out

I I I I I I I feel like it's always a grift right it's always like you know like when you hit these people that just get on there and they say some outlandish claim and I'm not saying it's all it's both liberal and and Republican sides
I I mean it's it's a situation where you just have to you get inundated with so much of it that you eventually just it's too much right your brain just shuts down and you just can't you can't do it you know you just it's over and it's done and and you just have to yeah yeah have to disconnect for a little while

Click to watch at 0:14 · YouTube ↗

Overall sentiment (raw)

positive

Pros

Upgraded bits (boats, resources) are nice and have good detail.
The solo mode feels interactive by playing against bots rather than just a score.
The ability to see bot intentions allows for strategic planning.
Solo mode cards are easy to understand.
Adjustable difficulty in solo mode via dice choice is appreciated.

Cons

The solo bots are streamlined and don't mirror player resource usage, which might displease some solo players.
The solo mode is challenging and not easy.

Thematic elements

Comparison games

none

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Card activation — Dice rolls determine which cards are flipped and discarded. Cards have a prioritized list of regions, and bots will move down this list, potentially being affected by specific conditions (e.g., 'if there are two or more food at this location, it will stop at the smokehouse').
Dice rolling — Dice are rolled to determine bot actions and player actions (for glory points). The number of 'hits' on a die (0, 1, or 2) influences card activation. Different dice can be used to adjust difficulty.
Resource management — Resources like wood, food, and horns are mentioned. Horns are used to re-roll dice in combat.
solo mode — The solo mode involves playing against two different bots: the destiny bot (scores points via destiny cards) and the worker bot (sends out more workers, blocks spaces, collects points). The core mechanic involves rolling a die (0, 1, or 2 hits) to activate cards which dictate bot actions. Dice rolls can be made harder or easier by using different dice. Bots do not check dice in combat and simply win.

Quotes (from this video)

Basically what I'm doing is this is a follow-up to my Champions of Midgard review video. Now that the new campaign is live, there's actually about a week left from the recording of this video.
I also got the chance to be shown the solo mode and I got to play around with it a little bit.
And so, that's kind of the big risk that they have. That's kind of the big challenge that you're being faced with from them, while the worker bot is going to be sending out more workers and blocking up different spaces on the board and also you know gaining points and collecting points.
Important thing to note, when the bot goes and fights, it just wins. Period. It kills the thing, it gets the points, and it is done.
I like very much that you're playing against bots. It's not a beat your score. I always prefer that cuz it always feels more interactive.
And so, they're quick. They're quick and easy, but it is two different things that you are dealing with and that you're working with.
And I know some solo players like it to really feel like they're playing against something else that's doing the same things they are, and that is not the case.
So, there you have it, folks. That is just kind of my thoughts on solo and the deluxe bits and my early thoughts on the solo mode for my deluxeified lovers and my solo player fans.

Quotes (from this video)

The theme really doesn't come through. It's just how the scoring and the gameplay is why it's here.
that that thing is always the thing that catches people that very first time. They're like, 'Oh, I see now.'
It's such a short game.
It takes longer to score the game than it does to play the game
Guards of Atlantis 2 is a MOA style uh t 2v2 game.
I absolutely love that there's a reason why I'm not a big fan of exceed or onward in this in this mobile case is because I don't like randomness in these head-to-head games
if I'm outplayed, I know my opponent outplayed me.
every single uh, hero has only five cards that they can play and they'll play four of them in a given round.
I really like that that level up system.
Onward 100% feels more like a MOA than Guards of Atlantis does.
I've had a great time every single time I've played it.

it's the standalone sequel to champions of Midgard set in the same universe so for folks who like Viking and like work replacement
in rivers of Midgard you are a Viking trying to become the new yarl
you're the head of your Viking clan
you picked one of the six action spaces on the board you're gonna get the best possible version of that action then everyone else around the table is gonna get a worse and worse version of that same action
you might push your luck and say I hope someone else goes to it no one else goes to it I'm hosed but I'm gonna push my luck and try anyway
there to raid keeps you looking for shiny metal sets of treasure
Reaver cards are multi-use cards that you recruit at one section of the board they can be used either to specialize to get better actions in the future rally to get more dice you can use them as your new leaders they're versatile cards
