This was the clearest playthrough I’ve seen. Appreciate the effort you put in to know all the rules.

All right, 8 minutes in and seeing how damage and lethality is tracked on the Intruders is enough to make me back! (Plus I already like the corridor and room system from what's been shown. =o)

Excellent, I am enjoying the play through so far, can't wait for the next session.

Great play through so far. Can’t wait to see more!! 😃👍🏻

As someone who started games after both of the prior nemesis games came out, was really interested in seeing this one and seeing if it’d be a good first entry．Especially from a solo perspective.　　Good to see this one!

Nice video man!!! thanks a lot!!! I will follow the campaign and see if there is space for another Nemesis :P

I'm hoping for more equipment unlocks in the Gamefound campaign. More variability in Loadout choices would be great.

Can't wait to see the stretch goals we get!

Interesting. I liked the cooperative elements. I wonder if more characters would make it more tedious or open up interesting options.

Well, retaliation falls on heads of previously not seen species…;) Noise dice…. I thought band of badass space marines should not care about noise they created… Thanks for the play.

At 16:00 the exploration card said not to roll for noise but to resolve the hazard result which your combat motion tracker allowed you to ignore so you shouldn't have put noise tokens into the two "3" corridors.

As usual, excellent videos!! I most likely backed this game. Btw, can you share a link for the token trays you are using? Thanks

22:00 doesn't the bottom section of the Short Circuit event card mean for characters to resolve a hazard result rather than roll for noise? The icon looks the same as the one that was on the event card that said don't make a noise roll?

Hello, i have few questions, please. 1. When you are in the secured room and you roll for noise and resolve the surprise attack - thats mean the allien attack immediately and you remove the secure token or alien just appear and thats all? 2. On the event cards all the buttom text: "all players resolve and yellow alien icon" - that`s mean that every player need to make a noise roll or resolve the alien surprise attack? Thank you in advance. Waiting for the second part of the video.

The previous two nemesis games have so many moving parts that setting them up is a challenge so the games dont get played as often as they could. The biggest issue with this game is that Awaken Realms added even more fiddlenesss with WAY more moving parts aka more room tiles, more hallways tiles, more set up cards, more minis, more tokens, more tokens, more moving parts, a multi part game board border, etc etc It will make it even harder to set up and play than the original two gamess. RIP

I cant help but ask… 1) how much time was spent to play test? 2) seems corridors can spawn alot of aliens while a room can only spawn one? 3) the robot doesnt have to roll for noise? 4) wont the marines shooting, bursting their weapons generate so much noise that the entire alien hive comes?

Aw man. What a cliffhanger. I want to see what the queen does.

Hi! Great video, thanks. I still have a question: is this a good game for playing solo? I've read some BG groups that they do not recommend it for solo, including the former Nemesis. Thanks!

Rolling solo. After playing both, which game did you like better and why: Stalker or Nemesis Retaliation?

Holy Crap! I just went to Gamefound and it is not even shipping until mid 2025 and that is if they keep on schedule... 😥

Adam, would you rate the rules more difficult than OG? Sure looks like a lot

Wasn’t sure on this conceptually but now… guess AR is getting my money again…

What are the little yellow cubes in the corridors at 15:00?

So in a single corridor, what’s the max amount of total Intruders that can be there? If 4 go In can 4 more show up then 8 would be there etc ?

Are there health differences between the adults and the Drone’s in this?

I see plenty of comments asking about this game not recommended for solo. I tried Nemesis solo and it was kind of lame. Same careful movement, and really just kind of a mid experience for the amount of time required to set it up. I think some reviewer put it really well "Nemesis OG is a great group game that can also be played solo" Solo looks better in retalation my only question is that how would it play as true solo? meaning a single character. I know you say you prefer multi handed solo but a lot of us prefer a single player experience. In the future it would be helpful to have playthroughs of the multihanded you prefer but also true solo with a single character being played.

You stated that if there is more than one player character in a room with an intruder, it’s player 1 that always gets attacked first…. Isn’t it the player with the least cards, like the original (and only when those totals are equal does the player closest to player 1 get selected)??

So how do i back this?? I live in Australia and not sure about how much postage would be/currency exchange. I want to get the deluxe version with the actual figures do you reckon they will do that in retail stores?? And whats better about backing instead of waiting?? This is all new to me lol

Nice mat! Where did you get it from…?

Is this going to be worth it for solo only?

How much table space would be needed for this?

Really hope it will be good for solo play😅❤

Love the changes they've made to this iteration, but I'm a little concerned about the longevity of these board pieces. Nemesis games have previously been pretty good on the quality side. I hope they don't skimp out on the materials with this one if players have to attach and detach these puzzle pieces over many games.

Having watched the rest of the video now, I really like how it keeps a lot of Nemesis' mechanics but has also added enough new stuff or changed things around enough to make the game play differently. Basically turning it into Aliens instead of Alien. =o) One question: at 23:51, in original Nemesis a roll which results in a second noise marker getting added would then clear ALL noise markers from around that room before adding any Intruders. Is this changed and you now leave any single noise markers? If it hasn't changed I think the noise marker in the "4" corridor should have been removed as well.

I dunno...I'm honestly trying to get myself hyped up about the game, but something seems a bit...off. I've already decided to back it on KS as I'm a major fan of the franchise, but I can't say I'm all thrilled with the direction they've decided to take this time. The gameplay lacks the OG horror element, you get oversaturated with enemies right off the bat, there is no tension buildup whatsoever. To me, it's the survival horror element what made the game exciting in the first place, the fact that you had all these different people stuck in the same scenario, each with a unique set of strengths and weaknesses, doing their best to postpone the inevitable encounter any way they can. I know the idea behind it was to give all characters more power by making them members of a squad and whatnot, but they seem to lack distinctive qualities, based on this gameplay at least. I do like a couple of things, tho - the (un)locked doors combo is a great addition to the game, the common objective, the oxygen levels (although this resembles the power element from Lockdown) and the unpredictable map outline, the backpack item order was kind of a wild card tbh, but overall - these are all excellent additions, I just wish they had gone with the same formula as before - take the basic concept and expand upon it, like they did with Lockdown by adding the computer room actions, power outage, contingency tokens, access to different levels via the elevator etc. These were all brilliant additions and I honestly think they could've made an equally satisfying game if they stuck to the same mindset. I'm still looking forward to the game and I'd love to finish the collection regardless of the first impression. Overall, I'd give this a solid 6/10 based on what I've seen so far, but I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. :)

Could the guy in surgery passed after his last 2 actions instead of taking an unnecessary turn and losing oxygen?

no matter which version of nemesis you're playing - you gonna DIE ))

Not a fan of the jigsaw tiles. They will wear, they will tear. Also the map looks awkward. As a result the game is not quite looker it could have been

Mentioned this before in another video. Yeah, caffeine is not spelled correctly. They have this issue with their other games. Polish company or not, if you're going to sell things to people, you need to do your due diligence. They need to get an editor. It doesn't look professional.
