Note from Nate: This is not a traditional "unboxing video," as I find those compelling at times but often frustrating as people take out components and react without a clue what they actually are or what they do in the game itself. I tend to instead actually play the game a little to get a good feel for the components and rules, then see about creating a video like this one. I also should note that I don't go in-depth with the rules here, but I touch on the rules by component for those who are trying to glean a sense of how the game might play with such components.
Mainly reviews and how-to-play. SiegeStorm: SiegeMode is covered on BoardGameVideo.com by 3 reviews, 3 how-to-play guides, 3 recorded sessions, 2 unboxings, and 1 other video.

About SiegeStorm: SiegeMode, from BoardGameGeek:
SiegeStorm is deck building game, where you can create your own style of playing and build deck around it. You will be able to execute powerful combos that can win you a game in a very exciting way! You have just 1 card type, simple and intuitive concept of moving tracks and overall skeleton of the game.
Easy to learn, does not mean easy to play, now does it? In SiegeStorm you will face tons of hard tactical choices, since you can play every cards in 3 ways from you hand:
sacrifice it for mana
use its as action
or deploy it on track.
When the card will reach your enemy, you will also need to make a decision - weather to keep the card's passive, storm with it (deal dmg and use its action) or add it as supporter that will build your mana pool. Combos and possibilities and endless!
There are also special AI decks, that makes playing solo as well as 2 player co-op possible. This is a perfect place to practice your skills and have a lot of fun trying to defeat various bosses, each with different skills and decks.
