Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Boss movement — He actually moves onto the tiles... he rotates so there's like two halves and he and he changes focus.
  • Card-driven boss actions — He has a deck of action cards that in between the hero and enemy phase or the player phase phase you draw a card and that will determine oh he spawns more stuff on his force field he activates Mission effect.
  • Hero/Villain modes — There are two missions for the zombie mode and two missions for the hero mode.
  • Location-specific objectives — It's like oh okay we have this laser beam effect that sucks but if we destroy the right arm it'll get rid of it.
  • Mission-based objectives — The expansion comes with two missions for the zombie mode and two missions for the hero mode. You destroy the five locations you win.
  • Objective destruction — You destroy the five locations you win.
  • Power Cosmic cards — I like the additions that they did with this with the cosmic the power Cosmic Cards those are really powerful and you could do stuff with those.
  • Trait cards — Zombie Heroes can only have one trait card instead of two.

Quotes (from this video)
  • It's what a co-op game should do, it should be brutal and not easy to beat.
  • It's a good showpiece that was the main reason I got it cuz just to have that Big Show showpiece of everything.
  • It's very atmospheric. I really enjoyed that. It's like he starts off that and just slowly encroaching destroying the entire world as he's walking and it's like you're on the timer.
  • It was just very quick to like understand instead of it being like Oh God okay we have this meticulous like very finicky rule set on how to make this work it was just it's Plug and Play almost.
  • It didn't feel like hard for the sake of being hard.
  • I'd give it an eight
  • It's it's just more of the same it brings a different aspect to to it and I think this would be a good one to do as a group gaming event.
