Here’s how we got on.
What did you think?
Did Demeo win you over?
Edders:I think so, yeah.
As a backstabbing assassin fella, that’s all I wanted to do.
Still, it was fun sticking together and rolling dice and having a natter.
Alice Bee:Don’t divide the party!
I always think rogue-pop in classes are tough to play in tabletop games.
Rogue mains are alwaysinsufferableso you’re not a natural rogue anyway, Edders.
What did you think of the powers and card system?
I kind of never felt like I ran out of options.
Edders:Yeah, same here.
One that drew a new card for each of us and encouraged experimentation.
If anything, it ended up being the MVP of the game.
Edders:Shout-out to that zombie dog, who I think did more for the team than anyone else.
Alice Bee:I liked the bits like that.
It’s cool, but I do wonder if it’ll draw new players in organically, like.
Like, it’s just not that kind of game.
It being a virtual hang-out is the draw, not EXP bars and unlockable decks and costumes.
I just don’t know if that’s compelling enough for me.
Which is kind of a shame because Demeo is a good version of what it is.
Did you start freaking out whenever you heard a door open somewhere in the dungeon?
I totally started freaking out.
Edders:Oh totally.
Just like fling pop crack open the door and invite all of its mates in for a flank manoeuvre.
There was also this goblin wizard who would teleport his buds over to us.
It really seemed like the AI were working overtime to get the upper hand on us.
I will say that I didn’t find it too challenging, though.
Maybe thats just because we were early on, or because we were playing with some devs.
But my time withDivinity: Original Sin 2prepared me for a reckoning that never materialised.
And that’s another thing, actually.
Is that a bit mean?
But also, I am in my 30s.
A heroic feat in itself.
So perhaps it’ll be easier to convince some mates to give it a crack.
Plus, I liked that you could zoom out and view the game from an actual tabletop perspective.
Like, see everyone’s disembodied hands and goggles floating around.
A proper treat, that.
