Just coming back to this on the heels of Colin’s recent departure announcement. Terrific playthrough- I ordered this game immediately after watching this video and it’s a cornerstone of my collection!
Another great video as usual, Collin. The artwork is gorgeous and the big cards let us see it in detail. Love that RPG feel of upgrading your deck. The only downside I see is needing multiple games for co op.
Really enjoyed the playthrough. I watched your LOTR LCG playthroughs and play it myself, and I really like how simple this game is compared to it (in that there arent allies and attachments everywhere!)
Great play through! I absolutely love this game! I find it so cool to see that these cards are also in Gloom/Shadows of Kilforth. Those games are amazing! It makes sense though because this game is in the Kilforth world. There is an expansion for Veilwraith that has alternative art that replaces the racy images with more conservative look lol Also you had mentioned you found it funny that some threats will benefit you *Healer; Deja are not evil just there presence hurts the Veilwraith. I have had a lot of fun playing this game on Tabletopia! Can not wait for my copies!
I disagree with some of the comments. I think the black and white is appropriate for the theme. The world ended. It is empty, dark, and lifeless. But despite that, I still see the beauty and detail in each art. It’s really fitting.
Recently I got my hands on Shadows of Kilforth and I have to say I love this game (thanks for the playthroughs you convinced me to buy). This is what I'm looking for in solo games. I can see a lot of artwork in Veilwrath is the same as in other Kilforth games. I'm also thinking about getting this one as it's shorter and simpler (not easier) game so good timing! Am I becoming Tristan Hall fan :P
Hi Colin, that was great fun thanks. Love games that provide tension as this playthrough had. So close at the end. I think that point of Spirit from the Healer you missed would have kept you in the game? I remember seeing Ricky's playthrough. Really like the way the cards are rotated and moved up and down the values. Nice tactical mechanism. Thanks again All the best Paul
One thing that unfortunately turns me off GREATLY with the black n white art used in this game and in Cryptic Explorers, is that this isn't inked black and white art. It's almost like someone drew and colored a nice piece of art... And then decided to print it out on a piece of paper using the no colors settings. The look and vibe is completely lost if the art was never intended to be black and white or monochrome.
Sadly black and white colors like this turn me off. Maybe its intentional or they just found away around cheapening on materials but hopefully the gameplay draws some ppl in.
Sorry, but I just don't get this game. The tone of your voice is far less excited than your Kilforth playthrough too, sounds like you are just going through the motions. I was keen on picking up Gloom after watching but now second-thinking that since this looks so dull. Sorry...!
