Endure the Stars

Product Information

If the survivor's life wasn't hard enough, additional rules can also be added to increase the difficulty, such as solo play, constant stress and scent of blood rules.

In the Core Box, 6 character types are available for players to chose from, and each has their own set of unique abilities to choose from. The Captain, for example, is able to stay sane when others are losing their minds, ignoring events that can have an adverse effect. The Engineer is able to create escape routes for the survivors and discard equipment cards to make other weapons more powerful. Just some of the enemies you may face in Endure the Stars.Enemies have been overhauled and now have their own unique abilities. Boss AI has been upgraded and refined to create even more dynamic and exciting showdowns. Survivors Gender Variant (introduces a gender variant miniature for each survivor class, along with a new ability board for each that can be used with the originals as well)

Adam: It was the miniatures for Endure The Stars that first caught my attention, and they don't disappoint. Some of the survivor miniatures are fantastic and they will get use from me in games away from Endure The Stars. In Endure the Stars, players take control of one or more survivors and attempt to complete missions by exploring the ruins of the once thriving ship. Players control 6 unique character classes, each with their own special abilities that can turn the tide of any game. Kit is the owner of ABZ Games, Aberdeen’s gaming community hub. He has been playing board/card/war/role-playing games for near on 25 years. Currently, his favorite game is Wild West Exodus by Warcradle.The set-up is fast, rules are simple and it is enjoyable to play, but it doesn't feel exemplary in a market steadily filling up with incredible games. Endure the Stars 1.5 is a revamped version of the original game, with lots of new and exciting content and mechanics! The rulebook doesn't feel like a 1.5 rulebook. For an updated product, I would expect it to be incredibly polished, but for such a simple system, it could be written and laid-out so much better. Cybernetic Onslaught (adds robotic sentry enemies to games, along with a survivor type with 2 varients)

The models were high quality, however, poses and class combos I've seen before and in some cases better, nothing leapt out at me that I wanted to paint it. The terrain itself was generic "space corridor", but had fitted the map tile reference into the art.

Even now, I'm struggling to remember key details from EtS; they are just blending in with the memories of other sci-fi games I've played recently. Sorry Endure the Stars, you're just too generic for me :(
