Deth Wizards

[6mmwargaming]

This is a new game from Snarling Badger Studios and it looks like fun. Its another miniatures agnostic solo/co-op skimrish game by the authors of Space Station Zero and Reign in Hell.

I like the concept that you are playing baddies (Necromancers and Undead) destroying villages etc. The video their site is a bit of a laugh too.

I am not entirely convinced yet. Space Station Zero I really like, but their Majestic 13 game missed the mark in my opinion.

It feels a bit like a rip-off of the popular Necropolis 28 game, but I haven’t watched the batrep yet.

I enjoyed Space Station Zero, but never got MJ13. Been hemming and hawing about it.

If you don’t mind, what didn’t you like about it?  I’m guessing it’s not a reskinned version of SSZ?

Deth Wizards does look more interesting to me though.

I’d heard of Necropolis but I haven’t looked at it, but your right it is a very similar concept. Deth Wizards seems to be more co-op/solo focused (like SSZ) whereas Necropolis is more of a PvP game ala Frostgrave.

It’s very repetitive, a lot of fun the first few games but it didn’t keep me entertained for long as you do the same actions over and over again. They told it was XCOM as a miniatures game, and while it has some of the elements of it, it fails to fully translate the finesse of it.

I bought it because I thought it would be great as an MIB game. It probably can be with some house rules, but it didn’t take away the disappointment I felt.
