Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood

BaBalleflassstar5,0

UPDATE: Tried it again, and I found it to be even worse with experience as the battle choices are often very narrow. Yes, even narrower than Gloomhaven. I found it to be just OK, I much prefer KDM and Middara for campaign and KDM and Street Masters for boss fighters. I bought the game mainly because of the battleflow system which seemed very interesting on paper, but fell kind of short in reality. Also, I'm not much of a narrative person as in that I prefer a good book than spending time reading/listening to a story while playing a game, so this was not the correct game for me. Again, I bought it mainly because I love boss battlers and this one seemed to do something original with the battleflow system. I have only played the Witch, Cur, Blade, Warden, Priest, Ranger and Penitent for just 5-6 chapters. The voice actor is great, but the story itself is quite boring IMO as almost nothing of interest happens. The more I played the more I skipped of all the boring unimportant small stuff that happens all over the town so I could enter the actual game part earlier which is the boss fights, which is something I believe this game should have focused more on than the narrative as it is a "board game" and not a "board story". Middara did this right by just providing a few lines of "spark notes" before each encounter to let you just do encounters. Oathsworn also has a "instant action" mode, but that "instant... action" mode is started with a full page of text and basic checks you need to plow through before you get to the fun part. The main reason I sold this is because I felt the battleflow system was subpar and boring. The difference between the cards for each character I played was too little compared to what It could have been. You can only have 7 cards with you into battle, and you start doing the same rhythm all the time as 3-4 cards will often stay stuck in your battleflow waiting to be rotated, so after 1-2 turns you end up only having so few choices at all times for the rest of the battle. Items where OK, but I found the items in Middara and KDM to be way more interesting. + Great artwork + Good voice actor (for the first 2 chapters, stopped listening after that) + Very nice components + Requires less table space than Middara and KDM / Good sized miniatures for painters / The storage is both smart and simple, but too cramped with sleeved cards - Battleflow system was very underwhelming - Card upgrades was very underwhelming (I checked all the upgrades even though I ended at chapter 6). - Each item alone provided too few alterations to make them interesting in my opinion - Too much unnecessary time consuming boring stuff between each encounter - Boring story (up to chapter 2, didn't read/listen past that).
