BattleCON: Devastation of Indines

Mario López Menésstar10.0

The best 1vs1 fighting game I've tried. A fantastic, simple system with incredible depth. THIS SPECIFIC BOX (DEVASTATION) - A LOT of characters (30 in the Standard version, 32 in the Remastered version). No tuckboxes in the Standard version, but the Remastered one comes with them. - A LOT of variants (1vs2, 1vs3, bosses, arenas, etc.) - Solo content that I've never used, but it seems fun if you're into solitaires. - It's more than enough: you'll never need any more content, but you'll probably want it anyway. PROS - With a really simple ruleset, it creates incredible interactions between its characters. - Every character feels absolutely unique. Some of them may be similar, but they'll have a distinctive feature that differenciates them. - There is a character in a BattleCON box that feels like it was designed for you. Maybe more than one! - The game is really tense: it really feels like a fight. Predicting your opponent's moves correctly is incredibly satisfying. CONS - Some details may be difficult to grasp for new players (while the 4th edition makes the game and its graphic design much more straighforward). - It cannot be played at its best until each player knows their character and their opponent's character. You won't experience it correctly by playing it from time to time with random opponents.

I like playing fighting games on my Xbox, and this is a cool board-game version of one. I enjoy the differentiation between characters and the kind of strategy that playing games like this entails.
