I love legacy and campaign style games and thought it would be fun to have that feeling of progression with a kid’s game that my 11 year old would enjoy, so I picked this up.
The base game is pretty simple but an enjoyable little co-op experience which doesn’t outstay it’s welcome as each game wraps up in about 10-15 mins. This game would get very boring if it was the same thing over and over which is why the opening of the envelopes to add player/enemy powers adds so much to the game.
Honestly, the excitement my children got from opening the envelopes is what made the experience so enjoyable. Having stickers to mark achievements was a great idea too and it gave each game a goal to try to unlock one of them.
In all, the legacy aspect made this game fun, without it the game would have been lacklustre at best but considering you get an unlock every 2-3 games it’s enough to keep playing and keep the excitement level high.
Not recommended for a game group, this is a great family experience but nothing more.
