I Loved Retaliation. Will Nemesis: Legacy Be Better?

Description provided by Game Brigade on YouTube:

🎲 Nemesis: Legacy is changing one of the biggest parts of the Nemesis experience. No more hidden betrayal during the legacy campaign! Instead, Awaken Realms is delivering a fully cooperative campaign with evolving characters, weapon degradation, new combat mechanics, and a story that changes based on your decisions. But can Nemesis still deliver the same tension and unforgettable moments without players secretly working against each other? In this episode of Should You Back?, I'm breaking down what's changing from the original Nemesis and Nemesis: Retaliation, exploring the different pledge levels, and sharing which options I think offer the best value. With a massive campaign, plenty of add-ons, and a lot of content to consider, let's figure out whether Nemesis: Legacy is worth backing. 💬 **Your Turn!** Are you backing Nemesis: Legacy? Do you think removing betrayal from the legacy campaign is a good decision, or is that what made Nemesis special? And which pledge level are you considering? Let me know in the comments. I read as many as I can and love hearing your thoughts. 📚 **Learn More About Nemesis: Legacy** 📌 Gamefound Campaign https://gamefound.com/en/projects/awaken-realms/nemesis-legacy. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/465821/nemesis-legacy ✔️ How Nemesis: Legacy compares to the original games ✔️ Why the legacy campaign is fully cooperative ✔️ Combat changes and weapon degradation ✔️ Evolving characters, classes, and card upgrades ✔️ New alien mechanics and enemy encounters ✔️ The companion app and my concerns about the writing ✔️ Legacy progression and replayability ✔️ Infinity Mode and the Recharge Pack ✔️ Standard, Special Edition, Collector's, and Salvation pledges ✔️ Which pledge offers the best value ✔️ Crew Logs, SAM Robot, and other add-ons ✔️ Which extras I'd recommend skipping ✔️ Whether you'll realistically finish the campaign ✔️ My final thoughts and recommendations 📩 **For Business & Collaborations** 📧 GameBrigade@gmail.com 🏅 **Support Exclusive Content** https://www.patreon.com/GameBrigade 💬 **Join the Game Brigade Discord** https://discord.gg/edCPKKzmep 🎥 **More Board Game Previews** https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoT382MPPuiqdfZPDkLBYJ_5Ory_U30_t 🚩 **Disclosures** This video is not sponsored.
