The Resistance is a party game of social deduction. In five nights we reshape destiny or die trying. Yet spies have infiltrated our ranks, ready for sabotage. By destroying their key bases, we will shatter Imperial strength and liberate our people. For those unfamilar with the game, here’s the description from : I played a few other games, but the highlight of the game was a marathon “The Resistance” session. The most notable thing was that we were clearly playing with a demo version of the game (with mocked up laser printed cards) that’s been around since the game was in development. Same general rules as CZE’s DC Deck Building Game, but with minor tweaks. I started my night playing The Hobbit Deck Building Game for the first time. Most visitors to this site are mainly interested in Hex, as I am myself, but CZE has a lot more going on. I may have accidentally seen a new bunny and another robot troop from Set 2…ĭuring my tour I was blown away by the sheer number of games, trading card sets, etc. Finally, I saw what I’ll call the Card Manager” admin tool where all of the cards are defined, art is associated, etc.
The (in)famous paper decks that are being used for playtesting Set 2 were laying around – definitely took a lot of self control to not pick one up and start thumbing through the cards. I also got to see the UI at a much higher resolution than we saw at GenCon – it looks awesome.
They’d just got the art assets for the new loading screen and apparently it’s “beautiful” and “incredible”. I got to meet the entire team, including almost everyone we saw in the Kickstarter videos, and spent a good deal of time talking to the developers. I wasn’t completely oblivious to the fact that I was at the “source” of Hex. Never fear, I’ll go back sooner or later, squeeze the Hex team for new information, and document the visit fully for the community!
I figured I’d relay some of my experiences. As it turned out they would have been more than happy to let me take a bunch of pictures and ask a bunch of questions, but I didn’t want to impose – I’d accepted an offer to participate in “Game Night” so I wasn’t there as a blogger, nor was I on a mission to unearth new Hex information. Cory and the entire team were incredibly welcoming and I had a great time. It's a lot of fun and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys digital card games but wants to avoid the inevitable spending pit they can become or is tired of the free2play grind for cards.I had the extremely good fortune to visit Cryptozoic’s HQ last night. You really don't need any knowledge of the Hex IP to enjoy this and there is a brief set of tutorial screens to get you right into the game if you need explanation of some of the keyword mechanics. I've been playing on an iPhone 7+ and the game runs very smooth. I was told by the devs these will be added to the closed beta as well. They will be adding co-op and adventure modes that will use in-game currency to play for various rewards. In game, you "buy" cards from a 5 card Lineup each turn to improve the starting deck you have to eventually have the highest amount of Victory Points at the end of the game.Ĭurrently they have online pvp play as well as a local mode against AI players. If you have not, these are games where you purchase a set of cards to play with, instead of purchasing random packs of cards. Given that this uses an existing card game system, the gameplay is pretty solid and straightforward for anyone who has played a deckbuilder before. I have been in the closed beta from the start and the devs have a discord you can join which they are very active on and eagerly listening to and applying user feedback.
