Competitiveness


If you want the “complete arkham experience” pick up the dunwich campaign and investigator boxes as well.

    This campaign however is relatively short with only 3 scenarios the first one being just a small introduction to the games core mechanics


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The story overall is not amazing its a straight path to an obvious conclusion


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is punctuated by the lack meaningful decision making storywise and no branching paths


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Nevertheless the games mechanics does a great job to make it feel a bit more engaging though in the end it cannot hide the simplicity of the games story


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The replay value of this campaign spawns from its hard difficulty challenging even on easy mode which forces players to retry different party comps as well as different decks styles


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You should see this core set more of a teaserpreview of the real game that is offered through the expansion packs


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If however you are just interest in the campaignstory part of it you may come out a bit disappointed feeling that its too little for the price tag
