Nemesis: Lockdown is coming to Kickstarter in May/June of this year and it will take you to a terrifying base on Mars. This new expansion as we called it is also a standalone game which means you don't need the original Nemesis in order to play.
“But really that's a very small nitpick, you can still incredibly enjoy this. I just, what can I say, I, I feel like the experience is wonderful and I cannot wait to play this again.”(1:42:53)
“All things being equal, if you're eyeing this one and you think this one looks right for you, buy it. You won't be disappointed. Great fun!”(16:20)
“I've always loved a challenge so I go into games and in and when the odds are even stacked against you just a little bit like just enough to make you kind of tense from the beginning that's one of the major reasons I like this game so much”(2:00:41)
The reviewer highlights the immense success, gorgeous production values, and strong pedigree of the predecessor, offering a very enthusiastic recommendation for backers despite evaluating the crowdfunding campaign value proposition.
The reviewers explored the prototype of Nemesis: Lockdown on Tabletop Simulator, highlighting its tense, cinematic sci-fi atmosphere and new multi-level mechanics that successfully capture and expand upon the core game's engaging semi-cooperative tension.
With Nemesis Lockdown, the sci-fi horror board game hit Nemesis goes digital! In this turn-based, multiplayer horror experience, you must survive, cooperate, and possibly betray your team in order to survive an alien encounter.
“This stand-alone brings all the best bits from its predecessor and adds in more mechanics. There's little not to love about Lockdown (rulebook aside).”
“I'm going to go ahead and give it a 7.5. I don't think it's quite as good as the original Nemesis because of that.”(38:51)
Fully-fledged Video Game Adaptation based on one of the most successful BOARD GAMES in recent years. Play as one of the survived crew members.
