Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of the Night (Classic)

I must admit, I was both surprised and just a teeny, weeny bit excited to hear that they were sequelizing the Chainsaw Warrior board game adaptation from not-so-long-ago. In all fairness, I'm writing this review with very little playtime up my sleeve, but on the whole I have to confess that the aforementioned excitement has dulled ever-so-slightly into mild disappointment.

Although I did enjoy the original Chainsaw Warrior, I did find myself burning out quite quickly on its randomness - there were some choices to be made, but you more or less were at the mercy of the dice.

The main thing you need to know: this game is ridiculously buggy. It's like it received just enough testing to not crash (and to be fair - it never crashed for me, unlike the first Chainsaw Warrior) but the intricacies of equipment, mechanics, unique enemies and all their possible interactions were left to their own devices. I spotted easily upwards of 20 bugs, from purely cosmetic ones like HUD indicators not...

Do you want to play a game where you need no skill because skill doesn't matter the dice are randomly generated, you die oh well. Cons repetitive torture There is only about 10 creatures all are used over and over again. boring boring boring boring boring boring boring all work and no play makes Johnny a mad boy all work and...
