Nexus - arena combat game was created by hotseatgames
I've been seeing a ton of Facebook ads for the upcoming expansion to Nexus. The game looks really cool...

Does anyone have any firsthand experience with it? ping Charlie....

Hilarious. I reached out to the creator yesterday and he is sending me a review copy.
It looks like my jam, but I am a little worried it's overstuffed. Looks a little absurd.

I haven't looked at too much beyond the components, which look over the top. But I'm definitely interested to hear what you think, assuming they send you one.

I couldn't help myself, and had a quick peek at the game on BGG. Looks like a similar vibe to Gorechosen / Combat Arena.
However, browsing the forums made me laugh out loud...

Yeah, you can lose arms and legs, there are spinning floor blades and pit traps, lootable containers on the board. It looks really wild, but probably more rules heavy and complex than it should be. I'm very interested to try it.

Charlie, did they ever get back to you?

Yes, scheduling problems lately have slowed my game playing a tad. I will be getting into this soon.

Like I said on Bluesky... this game looks so cool, it's a bummer that it is not a faster affair. They even have an RPG supplement for it; I just can't imagine people wanting to engage at that level.

Yeah, it does have a cult following of sorts and its expansion has funded.
The designer also replied to my review very professionally, I give him full credit for that. It's difficult to not argue with a critical review.

Yeah, sorry. I saw the link when you first posted it and then promptly forgot to read it. I appreciate the fact that, despite it sounding like it completely malfunctions as an actual game, you made a point to cite many examples of how the experience can be fun. But, yeah, sounds like way too much development time among too few developers (aka tunnel vision.)
