Read the rules, played 2 missions and absolutely love it. Its fast its action packed and its brutal. First off I love the new cover mechanic, this is what I was missing in Imperial assault. The sculpts of the minis are one of the best I have seen (cant wait to get started with painting). At the moment im fine with no campaign mode since its easier to get a few gamers together open the box set up and go slaughter some stuff.
The only 2 minor setbacks for me are the in game screenshots used for art on the marines action cards. some of them are just to dark to see what is really going on. And the lack of the hell knight as demon models.
Yet this game has so many expansion possibilities left I hope fantasy flight will consider:
- More deamons !!! Hell,knights, Summoners, spider mastermind, possessed security etc.
- More marines and the doom slayer himself (using the classic doom slayer pose for a miniature ?)
- Map tiles representing mars. At the moment we only have indoor UAC facilities and the bottoms of hell
- Companion app. Its always nice to have a solo or co op option
- Campaign mode
- Skirmish modes. Maybe to somehow represent the team deathmatch modes of doom. like 5 vs 5 marines ? the first to get 30 frags wins !
- Dr. Samuel Hayden. Dont ask me how or what I just feel like this awesome dude needs to be in this game.
Just suggestions and personal opinions folks ! how are you guys enjoying the new doom boardgame ?
