It looks to me more like a self-contained Necromunda with a bit of Shadespire and a bit of Kingdom Death influence. The main selling point is the campaign aspect and upgrading your group over time.

I expect it to be a little cleaner than Necromunda due to how Necro is stringing rules across multiple supplements and how many issues the Gang War supplement has in terms of typos and mistakes.

It's expensive but if you can support an entire gaming group with one box in a multiple session campaign where you upgrade your village, that's actually not a bad deal.

I wish it was a tad less juvenile though (watch that cringeworthy video).

This dude appears to wearing a legless baby in its own horned helmet in some sort of HATE-ful Baby Bjorn:



I'm not into it, but have fun.

Welp, I can safely say I have zero interest in that one...

“First they raped their mother...”

Jeez.

Trying SO HARD to be Kingdom Death...pitiful.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out who they're trying to appeal to, it doesn't make a lot of sense. The 12 year old demographic isn't backing board games on Kickstarter, I wouldn't say.

I can't stand any of the sculpts or artwork in HATE. They're too busy. There's too much detail for me and they've crossed the line some how for me to like them aesthetically.

I may have read about it to find out what was what, but that video was just terrible. Has to be meant for 16-20 year old nerd crowd that thinks its cool to cuss -- how it has raised 1/2 million is beyond me.

Well, not PHYSICALLY 12 but emotionally... plenty of them.

I'm temporarily in on the Nemesis kickstarter. You get a free extra character if you pledge in the first 24 hours so I did... but am not sure if I'll keep it at this point. The game is basically Aliens and seems fine, but doesn't seem like a "must-have" at this point.

I'm a big fan of Awaken Realms in general (This War of Mine and Lords of Hellas have both impressed), so I'm in for now as well.

May be late to the party as usual, but is Rayguns and Rocketships worth playing? My coworker bought a copy, that I'm looking at right now here at work. He hasn't played it yet - it's still in shrink.

After seeing the Rage video, I have to admit, that's over the top even for me.

It's like Randy Savage wrote the script.

Now, people are making fun of CMON's HATE promo video on Reddit. Too funny!
