Wow, this sounds awesome. As a diehard Arkham Horror fanatic, I really like phase-driven gameplay for co-ops, and I'm a sucker for space games. I'm even hosting a sci-fi themed gaming convention in my house instead of a normal birthday party. I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
One question, although I'm sure nobody's going to be able to answer it yet. It's described as a co-op game, but the scoundrels theme seems to lend itself to a semi-cooperative thing like Legendary. I guess what I want to know is, will it be pure co-op? TBH, I kind of hope so because pure co-ops always seem to click better with me than semi-co-ops, but either way I'm stoked to get to try it.
Anyway, that's enough wild speculation. MORE WOOHOOING. I LOVE TO WOOHOO WOOHOO! *Does a little happy dance*
It is infact pure-cooperative, sure you can screw over your friends if you really wanted to in it. But you could do that in SotM too where you attack your fellow heroes. It's a game where you either all win or all lose. Can't really say too much more or else I may getting a lashing.
My guess is that they are going for the honorable rag tag team of scoundrels rather than the jerkface team of scoundrels vibe - more Capt. Mal/Han Solo than backstabbing.
Yeah, that's how I would describe it too. As it stands it's significantly easier to win than in Sentinels, but that will likely change as we progress from Alpha to Beta, and then to final release.
