Review on 🃏 Sentinels of The Multiverse: Definitive Edition by Greater Than Games by Richard Woods

I've played several superhero card games (DC Deck Builder, Marvel Legendary) but Sentinels of the Multiverse is a little different. Here's an overview of how each game plays out, because that's what I'd like to know before I buy Marvel Legendary1) Sentinels is a fully cooperative game in which players take on the role of a superhero by taking his unique deck and throwing it into the go battle . villain in a specific environment. Each hero has a unique strategy: someone helps manage other decks, someone creates structures to fight for you, someone empowers other players, etc. 2) DC Deck Builder is a competitive game where you choose cards from the general pool . It can be pretty brutal. It's fun, but it definitely doesn't give you that superhero flavor. It's fun, but tricky, and quite annoying to install. I say it's semi co-op because if players can defeat the super villain, they can earn points and see which player has the most points. In short, Sentinels of the Multiverse is great. You can really step into the shoes of a hero, right down to role-playing, if you want! Preparation Time: Sentinels outperforms Legendary in this regard. Pull out pre-made decks, follow the villain's directions, and go. This is a fantastic aspect of the game. Gameplay: The game is very simple. When it is your turn, you play a card and use a power unique to your character. The goal is to reduce the super villain's hit points to 0. The gameplay is where I think it requires a good group to play, some people who are really passionate about it. It can be tedious reading every card and grappling with the effects of all villain cards. It's easy to miss and you can understand a lot. It's getting uncomfortable, so you need a patient group! I have a friend who I really enjoy playing this game with, in which each of us controls and fights two heroes. When I play with my regular band, one gets bored and looks at his cell phone, others just lose interest because after a while it was their turn. If you find people who are interested in diving, you will have a lot of fun. Support: There are many extensions for this, and they are all very powerful. They add new characters and villains and add variety to the game. The only thing I don't really care about is where the villain team gets added. It's cool and challenging, but it's just a lot of roguelike action that slows down the game a lot. But when you have extensions, you have most of your bases. Do you want to play as a Batman character? spirit for you. Iron Man? bunker go! The time traveler Clint Eastwood? Chrono Rangers. Dead Pool? Guise is incredibly funny. Etc. Sentinels Myths are mostly written on cards and they are unique, but you can find your favorite superhero counterparts here. Difficulty: Sentinels suffers similarly to Legendary in terms of build difficulty. If you're playing like me, randomize everything (with the companion app, which I STRONGLY recommend). This can make the game both stupidly easy and impossible. What's even more annoying, you can get into a situation where you land on, for example, the hero Tempest, whose power is to hit every villain with 1 damage. When you face the Dreamer (one of the villains in the expansion), your job is to protect her and her measly 6 HP at all costs. Sure, you can just say "Oh no, Tempest doesn't work here" and kick him out, but sometimes it's not obvious that the hero is going to break the game or become a deadweight. I felt the same with Legendary, where the deck could end up with an unlucky hero or a very, very complex plan/villain combination. But in Legendary it sucks because you spend 15-20 minutes shuffling all the cards. With Sentinels, you can try again and again with minimal cleanup. In general, this game is very interesting if you have 1-4 like-minded people to play with. You can play it alone, but you have to control about 4 of them, which I don't think is that exciting. Trying out a solo is a quick way to kick ass; Unlike Legendary, it really gets much, much easier as more players you add to the game. I say you have to get the guards. Get expansion packs. Have fun!
