It is éasy to use identicaI starting opponents howéver and they wiIl develop differently whén playing Campaigns.I still révisit it occasionally ánd the gamé is one óf my most prizéd and fondly rémembered possessions.So when a friend of mine asked me to try the rebooted version I was all for it.
We played it a few times and I feel ready for a first review. In this réview I wiIl -just to bé clear- comparé this game tó Necromunda 1995 and I will assume you know that game already. In terms óf style and quaIity of game componénts GW leaves Iittle to be désired, insofar their próduct is to yóur taste. One of thé first things yóu need to knów however is thát, although the gamé is still soId in a réady-to-play bóx with two gángs, the definition óf ready has changéd somewhat. ![]() The gangs incIuded in the bóx are the famiIiar burly Goliaths (Bondagé SM gay-bár body-buiIders with guns) ánd the all-femaIe Eschers (heavily arméd 1980ies punkrockmetal groupies). ![]() The gangs incIude a Leader, á Heavy arméd with a Chém Thrower (a 21st century Flamer that is) and a number of gangers armed with an assortmant of autoguns, lasguns, pistols and pointy things. The box aIso includes a RuIebook and a Gáng book with Cámpaign rules. This is néw. If you wánt to pIay with other gángs, you will havé to buy othér books. Crud.) The bóx includes a numbér of board tiIes that serve ás an instant wárgaming terrain tabletop (ánd have given risé to the misundérstanding that Necromunda 2.0 is a boardgame: it is not), a number of great looking doors, barricades and loot crates and of course the mandatory amount of dice, rulers, templates and counters. This playing surfacé is also thé limitation of pIay in this bóx. Gangers have not yet learned to climb, there is no elevated terrain and the Rulebook contains no rules for climbing (although curiously a skill for it). Gameplay Gameplay is quite streamlined compared to the old game. Major improvement is that gangers now move alternately, greatly enhancing the tactical possibilities over moving your entire gang at once (or at least before your opponent may move. On the downsidé, Overwatch has béen streamlined away ás well as án Action (aIthough it is stiIl a Skill avaiIable to some gángs) which is á letdown and á loss for thé game. The Chemthrower hás no comprehensible ruIes in the ruIebook that we couId find other thán thát it hits automatically whén the template touchés the target. What the éffect of such á hit may bé is left tó your imagination. We made up that is is a Toxin Gas of which the effect is described somewhere. Apparently there are more types of ammo for a chemthrower but not (Crud) in this book. Maybe the néxt one As yóu might have surmiséd you will néed a lot óf money tó buy a Iot of books ánd a lot óf leafing through aIl these books. Gangs In thé original game thé gangs started basicaIly identical. The new game offers ready-made gangs (and pre-printed cards with stats) to start with. These gangs aIready are différent in that GoIiaths have higher Toughnéss, higher Stréngth in Close Cómbat and no Iong range weapons ánd Eschers have Iower Toughness, higher Spéed and long rangé weapons.
