COMPONENTS: This version includes four double sided map tiles the size of the box, as opposed to six in the Kickstarter version. The character cards are the size of tarrot cards while the rest are the mini European sized cards. While the CMON Kickstarter includes plastic player dashboards that hold Pandemic style cubes to track character statistics, this Spinmaster version includes plastic slides that attach to the character cards and serviceable experience dials, which are easy to assemble. As the CMON miniatures were exclusive to the Kickstarter version, this Spinmaster edition has alternative miniature sculpts and character abilities from the Kickstarter version. The heroes and zombie heroes are represented by miniatures, while the remaining zombies and bystaders are represented by standees. The game includes four plastic colored bases that snap onto the bottom of the miniatures and six six-sided Zombicide dice, with biting zombie teeth in place of the number one. The zombies and bystaders are all thick cardboard standees with small clear base clips.There are also sturdy cardboard character status tokens, spawn location tokens, objective tokens, door tokens, an exit token, and an Avengers sign token which can be thrown by characters like a weapon. Everything fits back into the included plastic insert, although haphazard placement of assembled standees may keep the lid from being secure, and the character cards tend to slide out of their intended position.
SCALABILITY: Spinmaster's Marvel Zombies Hero's Resistance is designed to use a group of four heroes on every mission, so it scaled oddly for three players. While a single player can run all four characters, and they can be divided equally among two and four players, three player games require one of the players to run an extra character. Standard four player teams balance the mechanics to provide the tension of closely won or lost missions. Turns proceed relatively quickly at higher player counts, and the need to cooperate in order to suceed keeps everyone involved in each other's turns. The A.I. controlling the zombies scales with the character's experience, becoming progressively worse as the characters become stronger. By adjusting the number of characters on a mission or the cards in the spawn deck the difficulty can be easily modified to different tastes.
CHARACTER MECHANICS: Every character has the same basic actions to move, attack, pick up objectives, build up power, and aquire a heroic trait. Each character gains a power point at the beginning of each turn, or by spending an action to gain two points. These can be spent to trigger abilities or add dice towards a combat roll. Characters can also use an action to draw a trait card, most of which offer one time abilities to improve movement or combat actions, although a select few offer rare healing and even a surprise zombie ambush. Characters also each have special abilities that make them feel unique and help achieve the mission objectives. Spiderman starts out with the ability to pull characters and bystanders towards him with his web. Black Panther has improved chances of taking town tougher opponents with his vibranium claws.Winter Soldier can take town multiple waker opponents quickly.The Wasp has a ranged attack, and can slip past opponents easier to reach bystanders and objectives.The Vision also has a ranged attack, and can choose from one of two drawn trait cards.
Hulk starts with two more health than anyone else, and he gets one extra power for every wound each turn. As they level up, each character gains new abilities that they can immediately use. However, the difficulty of the spawn deck increases with the highest character level, so you need to try to get them to level up at the same time. Since the mission fails if any character dies, it is impractical to focus on leveling up one character in an attept to achieve the mission objectives faster. This promotes thoughtful team combinations using cooperative strategies and a fair amount of replayability for an introductory skirmish game.
BYSTANDER MECHANIC: Unique to Marvel Zombies is the bystander mechanic, replacing the abily to search for items in previous versions of Zombicide. This involves random individuals from the Marvel Universe who need to be rescued, although a few of them can defend themselves to a degree. These bystanders fully power up any character that rescues them and grants a unique ability to the rescuer that can be used toward character actions. However, the bystanders can also be devoured by the zombies, causing every character to loose a power and a trait. These bystanders are often tied directly into the mission objectives and must be rescued to succeed.
ZOMBIE MECHANIC: The heart of the A.I. controlling the zombies is the spawn deck, which triggers specific types of zombies in each spawn zone on the board in accordance with the highest character level. The cards specify the type of enemies involved (Walkers, Brutes, Runners, and Zombie Heroes) and extra actions awarded to those enemies. Each enemy type has different stratigic toughness and action considerations concerning the best ways to dispatch them. Brutes are harder to take down, while runners can move in and attack quickly. Zombie Heroes have both of those abilities, plus another deadly ability unique to each of the charatcters. Captain America can block attacks with his sheild and Scarlet Witch can make you miss with her hex magic. Doctor Strange can ambush characters with his magic portals and Irom Man can launch repulsor attacks from a distance.
Any one of these enemies is manageable for a group of four with full health, but they multiply fast, and they protect each other under the targeting rules allowing for certain enemies to dodge and counter attack. The fact that the zombies always hit, makes them deadly and easy to anticipate during the enemy phase. The presence of bystanders also provides the opportunity for the A.I. to drain the characters of power and traits.
PROS: Up front, I already pledged for everything in the Kickstarter except the Galactus and Silver Surfer set. I decided to pick up the Spinmaster version for the four extra tiles, extra dice, extra Avengers sign token, and alternative miniature sculpts. In other words, I have a certain amount of bias towards this game. With this in mind, this Spinmaster version of the game is easy to set up and tear down, easy to learn and teach, and has good quality components with a great table presence. The game length is ideal, neither ending too abruptly or overstaying it's welcome. The game is incredibly relatable with familiar characters with unique abilities.
CONS: Aside from the balance issues in a three player game, the only real drawback are the experience dials. These dials are identical and can be confused by disorganized players running more than one player. The dial itself can easily be bumped, inadvertently altering the experience level, and the numbers are very small, causing issues for players with poor eyesight. The limited number of characters make it less replayable than the Kickstarter version, and the limited abilities can make the heroes feel weaker than their popular counterparts. The Zombie Heroes are formidable enough that they must be taken down quickly before they overwhelm the players, so they generally do not remain in play for very long.
CONCLUSION: This Spinmaster version is an incredible deal for what is provided. It's relatability, ease of play, and quick set up means that it gets to the table more often than other games. Gameplay is highly tactical and challenging, creating incredibly close wins and losses. The cooperative nature is fundamental, requiring smart teamwork to achieve success. I highly recommend this version as it is a much more streamlined game than any of the previous Zombicide iterations.
This game also makes for a fantastic gift. Whether it's for a Spider-Man fan, a board game lover, or someone looking to delve into strategic games, it's sure to be a hit. The quality of the components, the exciting gameplay, and the way it brings the Marvel universe to life are all huge pluses.
In terms of value for money, this game is a solid investment. Considering the hours of entertainment, quality of materials, and replayability, the price is more than justified. It's not just a game; it's an experience that brings people together, immersing them in the thrilling world of Spider-Man and his adventures.
Marvel Zombies Hero Resistance is a great game. The $35 dollar price tag give you a lot of value for your money.
Pros:
✓ 10 detailed model sculptures (4 zombie heroes; Captain America, IronMan, Dr. Stange & Scarlett Witch and 6 Avengers Heroes; Hulk, Spiderman, Winter Soldier, Wasp, Black Panther & Vision).
I was glad to see several of Marvel's most popular Heroes made it in this line up.
Each character has their own set of abilities and I found each felt different to play with in terms of strategy. This was a huge Plus.
✓ The components quality of the dice, experience trackers, different player markers and standees are good.
✓ The cardboard sock that make the board and the zombies are durable and designed well with great artwork for the board.
Fans of Marvel would also appreciate the Easter eggs in the artwork of the tiles to see familiar places such as Daily Bugle, or Ozcorp vs generic building.
✓ The rule book is simple to read, easy to understand and was great in teaching me the game without having to go back too often or look elsewhere to understand things that weren't clear.
✓ The book also comes with a tutorial and 8 missions ranging from Easy to Hard difficulty with an expected length of time it would take.
This was a fantastic touch as choosing the complexity of a scenario and knowing how long it will take was a great idea. Even better is the times actually took less than the recommended length.
✓ Replayability. The random zombie activation deck, choice of starting heroes, random objective set up in some scenarios, plus the dice rolls there is enough randomness to provide a different experience for each mission. The actions you do will always be the same but how you do it and how it all plays out will not always be the same.
✓ Lastly the actual feel of having to survive, while completing objectives as the zombie hoards march at you, gives a really tense and fulfilling experience each game.
That said, on so many positives. Here are some things I didn't like
Cons:
× While the carboardstock for the zombie and survivors are good. The standee plastic base gives a tight grip, which is also good but on a few of the standee the nice art was scraped off/scratched when attaching the standee base. For example should one compare to the similar method for Gloomhaven JOTL, the constant removal and reattachment of the base to the standees rarely scratched or deeply imprinted those cardboard standees, so I was a bit disappointed with the Marvel Zombies version.
× Although 8 missions is a good starting amount of missions. The 4 double sided tiles can be rotated in several ways to provide a unique number of scenarios. Thus, I felt there could have been a lot more missions included for each difficulty setting.
Overall for the price that is being offered, you do get a whole lot of game with a lot of variability and randomness each mission. The box is small to be transported with excellent storage separation to have everything neatly paced for easy storage and retrieval. Setting up takes less than 5 mins, same for tear down and putting back in the box. Marvel Zombies: Hero Resistance is an exceptional game and a great introduction for those who want to the try the zombicie experience without the usual hefty price tag. If you don't like zombies or survival games or mission based games this may not be for you.
I highly recommend this.
