Blood Bowl 2 Review - GamersFTW

Blood Bowl 2 features a lot of customisation, with a focus on the player building the perfect team for their gameplay strategy. There is a heavy ‘luck of the dice’ element, which may frustrate some players, but serves to add to the board-game feel that the game is emulating.

I love a good strategy game, but when the dice rolls are not in your favour, it can really kill the experience.

SweetIvy3133d ago

You can "pilot" your luck in games like these.
That's why this game is so awesome.

Agree. I really love the game but the dice rolls can just be ridiculous at times. I'm in the camp that is not entirely convinced it is completely random.

tonmori3134d ago

I thought this game looked good when I first saw it but it being a strategy game turned me off. Just personal preference, otherwise it looks quite fun.

Take out the the strategy and give us pure carnage!

ConboyAdam3134d ago

Looks like it could be really fun or very frustrating, could go either way

robtion3129d ago

You are spot on. It really is a roller coaster and fluctuates between the two.

joedom3134d ago

I wish there were more games like this. Annoying that it relies on luck though

Wasn’t much for the first game. Love the Warhammer franchise, not so much American football though. Doesn’t look like a very aesthetically pleasing game, either =P

Multi-Genre Games That Hit Just The Right Mix

BLG writes: "Some things are better together like french fries and ketchup and of course peanut butter and jam. But this isn’t Masterchef. We talk about games here and recently, we’ve been thinking specifically about games that like to mix things up, specifically, multi-genre games."

5 Tactical Games for People Who Hate Them

KeenGamer: "These are 5 tactical games you should be playing, even if you hate the genre. The tactical genre has had some great games released the last few years, and these games offer something a bit more than just rewarding and tactical gameplay. Whether that’s unique settings, great stories, or interesting gameplay, there is bound to be something here that catches your eye."

Completely off the mark, games listed don't entice non-tactical gamers to enjoy them.

Games with good story and free movement outside of combat are the tactical games that entice players that don't usually like tactical games. Games like Wasteland 3, and Mutant Year Zero can really entice you into the tactical play games. As well hard tactical games like Gears Tactics which has a great story. Or non-stereotypical tactical games like The Bureau: XCOM Declassified.

I used to hate tactical games and have learned to love them because of the right game to play.

Valkyria chronicle is the only one on that list I somewhat like for being different and I hate Tactical games. Those aren't convincing anyone to play though. My biggest issue with them is that they're all just combat. If you want to get into them or play something with tactical elements that can get you into it. South Park Fractured but whole, Trails of Cold Steel/trails in the sky, or games that give elements, Then play the games more and more like them, then actual ones. I actually don't mind it for a combat system. But absolutely hate how the whole gameplay is exactly that most of the time. I'm not going to play a game that's basically all just combat. It's like turn based RPGs, they're great because the gameplay loop isn't just turn based combat. That's why Trails can use a system with elements and still be so great to people who hate that stuff
