Chronicles of Drunagor - Final Grade - Kickstarter Critique Clip.
Transcript
So, final grade for Chronicles of Droonagore Aftermath, do I want it? Yeah, I do. The video was very well done. It was just overflowing with components and gameplay and all that looks cool. Look how realistic I and there's like you showed the player area that looked fantastic and you spotlighted your components and you spotlighted, you know, the fact this is going to be a deluxe version. Shut your mouth. Do I want it? Yes. Can you do it? Went and checked the track record. Looks solid. They got one game hopefully coming out later this year, but it's on pace shipping. One that just shipped out. They got a couple issues here and there, but that's to be expected. Looks like great customer service and they shipped out the original ones. They spotlighted their track record. Like, "Oh, we got an 8.2. We got a Dice Tower Seal of Excellence. We got this award."
Yeah. Can you do it? Yes. I feel good. And and that shipping just like that update just getting into the absolute weeds about the shipping. I didn't look at the comments on that, but I bet that people loved that. Like, 117. Let's just compare to the other thing. 82, 76, 69. People love when you give them a peek behind the curtains. All right, 120. So, we got there's finally one that beat it. But, I'm saying great stuff. Like that add-on looks great. Can you do it? Yes. How much is it? This is where I feel like there's definitely a fumble. I feel like we could have sold some pledges better. Like, especially the ones like this just was a gut punch. The 329 bucks it it didn't it ended up not feeling like that, but it took a while to get there.
Whereas, if you just said $89 and you showed me that massive list of components down below. Obviously, it's going to be minus the you know, this thing. Like, yeah, all this, but minus the the minis. Like, you tell me, "Oh, it's got 60 hours of gameplay." 90 bucks, 60 hours of gameplay, 300-plus cards, 32 maps, this cool like terrain system where you're building on top of each other and excellent like a cool like that is just a slam dunk and I feel like we should have we didn't do that. We didn't do that. Then we go to the minis, 60 bucks, that feels like a good price jump. And then it just kind of gets confusing because yeah, you show this and it's like oh, okay. But it's like cuz there's actually a massive expansion that's like the same size as the base game and it just feels like they just kind of threw it in there and up, there it is. If you missed it.
But once again, we just talked about pledges, right? Like you show it's I don't know. It just feels like there's too many ingredients in the soup and we just needed to maybe remove one or two and just streamline one or the other and like add all the good stuff. Cuz once we do get to the shopping area, it becomes okay. 149 and I'm getting the deluxe edition, then we go to our extra 100 bucks and we're getting this. How many hours of gameplay does that add, right? Like we could have stopped right there and then you then 1089 for the everything. Which comes in the I want it all box. And it comes and this area like that price they sold 100 of them, right? That's fantastic. But I feel like both these pledges still could have more if you just showcase like some size, some things that are down at the bottom that really did a great job of showcasing like wow, this looks awesome. They put so much time and effort and thought into the this. This should be way higher. I think that picture of you holding that box from Dante's Inferno whatever, that massive size box like just to show the kids yeah, we can do this. We're we're nuts so like that. We like to we like to we're going to send you a 100 pounds a game. That's pretty nuts, okay? Uh but it it it just it didn't feel like you connected the dots for me as well as you should have.
But that's all nitpicks. Cuz at the end of the day, do you want it? Yes. Can you do it? Yes. How much is it? Yeah. Final grade, solid. Main image I think is still just absolutely garbage. Just it it looks like he's playing Santorini. And if you don't know what the the Santorini box looks like, I want to make sure that you see it. Like why would you there? Why would you Yeah, there's the Santorini box. Like yeah. Boom. Santorini Santorini It's just a a god destroying Santorini. Whereas showcase 50 other things that you have awesome going on your page. Final grade is still solid. I'm going to go with an A minus. I I just feel like I love the cut of their jig. I love to see their next project. I hope they continue to explore and push out and make more bigger and absurd boxes and other companies study this and be like, all right, I like this one what they do too and it just becomes, you know, slowly industry standard. That's how it That's how it generally works.
Uh so kudos to them. A minus. Let me know in the comments below what's your final grade for Chronicles of Drugonor Aftermath. All
