Asmodee Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape MD015IT

Product Information

NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: This cooperative strategy game is designed for 1 to 6 players and is suitable for ages 14 and older. When a character goes into a new room, a deck of ‘door’ cards appears that can do anything from spawning additional monsters, turning it into a treasure room, or adding traps.

After punching out all of the cardboard bits, you'll have to find your own organizer or use lots of baggies. The Darkness that had been vanquished long ago is rallying all manner of wicked creatures to its cause. While the end of the games drag a little, the overall package gives hours of fun each time it hits the table.

Molle accessories offer storage solutions for tablets and other small books, dice and other gaming accessories as well as cell phones and other personal items. Adventurous gamers will find some new combos that work surprisingly well together, even if the skills at first might seem lame. There’s really only 3 actions a boss can perform, and 1 boss in particular underwhelms gameplay-wise because he rarely attacks players and functions more as a timer than as an actual enemy. The rogue has an actual ‘bag of tricks’ players will draw from, the Paladin consecrates zones for bonuses, the barbarian takes their damage and turns it around to activate special moves, and so on.

Molle accessories offer storage solutions for tablets and books, dice and other gaming accessories as well as cell phones and additional personal items.During the hero phase, players take 3 actions, usually moving, attacking, and interacting with an objective (resting is for the weak). What makes it even more fun is that even within the class, there are different builds to experiment with. Massive Darkness 2’s designers Alex Olteanu and Marco Portugal did a great job with diversifying the 6 heroes in the game and making them asymmetric. Demons and spirits abound, but beyond some mildly disturbing images (a character’s guts are held in by an iron cage), Massive Darkness 2 doesn’t feel as dark as the likes of Dark Souls or even Gloomhaven.
