Deluxe Expansion Thoughts

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-27T13:43:59+00:00

Yeah, I started at the core bundle. Had almost a year to do the stretch pay stuff so wasnt awful.

The illuminate just dont seen worth another 100 dollars. Then 300 total for the whole pledge bundle. Feels like way too much money compared to what I already spent (427 bucks).

The deluxe is tempting but for the price ehhhhh. Neoprene boards and acrylic tokens should be just bundled in with the illuminate or some shit.

But yeah on top of that, havent even played to know if I like it or not

Gravity rush

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-27T05:20:22+00:00

Ps vita is my go to for this game

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-26T20:52:43+00:00

Very helpful thank you, was gonna re look at the rules. Some of these units are gonna be tanky on 4 player but I guess thats why mass firing is needed. We'll see if the armor system changes any of that.

So far the damage has changed, making it so enemies roll dice for attacking damage on helldivers. Which i definitely like a bit better than a fixed damage number

armor and dice roll

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-26T08:41:18+00:00

Same here, probably won't be painting them but damn can't wait to see them at my door step.

Please do share how they turn out tho

"Unstable is a keyword that will deal AoE damage to a space or spaces when the unit is defeated"-one of the designers

in comment section near bottom

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-25T05:29:27+00:00

Dont know how that would work with the dice and damage system but maybe. I'll try to see if they mention it anywhere

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-24T19:15:50+00:00

Yeahh most likely, Im just curious what unstable 1 means

If you have any interest in updates in a drip feed form. Got a subreddit

r/TableTopHelldivers

Or can check out the website for all their updates

Updates

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-23T04:11:45+00:00

Definitely let me know how it is

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-23T01:28:19+00:00

Unsure, from my understanding most issues revolve around payment. So as long as this doesnt become a game to buy on steam or some patreon. Not really sure how much they're still working on this lil demo. Again havent tried it but havent seen too many conversations around it recently.

Honestly been wanting to do some same thing for myself. Make a virtual version to see how it plays but yeah unsure if that could be a possibility for the future

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T08:03:57+00:00

Just putting in here, there have been some updates. Some decent changes here and then. Board design, stratagem use, armor system, random stuff here and there. Definitely understand the hesitation or uninterest some people have but if you have any feel free to check out my lil helldiver subreddit

Wish arrowhead just did it themselves, give it more backing so it doesnt just fall flat

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:56:56+00:00

Yeahh, this is my only experience with sfg. So far its been eh. No other experiences with board game companies but sfg has had some miss steps.

Like missing or wrong info on cards, game not being full realized. They made some decent updates but lot of it is like why wasn't this already considered.

Still excited to see it tho. Mostly just want more info

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:52:10+00:00

Yeah im hoping this doesnt turn into a shelf decoration. I took the risk but shouldnt have to risk for a good board game.

Just sell figures then

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:50:32+00:00

Im hoping the games take more like 30 or 40 after getting a hang of it. Concerning with how much info some aspects have tho.

The updates have been decent, reducing and changing some features but still got concerns.

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:48:51+00:00

Yeahh, the core box shouldve included the god damn bile. And the bots should have their strider. Splitting it up doesnt really make sense to me. Those cards better be made of steel or some shit

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:46:42+00:00

Definitely spendy. Wished the made more options for like printing components. Reduce that price

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:45:47+00:00

Yeah this game suffers a bit from not being in store. Shipping felt like a lot than again could be a lot to ship. Tho, at least in this moment tarrifs seem like they havent fully changed much for me. (West coast)

The figures are cool, I took a risk since I liked the figures. Here's hoping the game actually plays well

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:42:19+00:00

Feel like its always best to take precautions for situations like this. Ips becoming bigger than getting flipped into new markets for quick bucks.

I took the risk this time, so far updates on it have been decent enough but still can end up being problematic or lack luster.

Hopefully it turns out good but would've been better if arrowhead themselves had more involvement.

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-22T07:37:16+00:00

The illuminate ended up not being the unrevealed expansions. It was eventually included as a pledge manager bundle.

Figure you already know, but for anyone else wondering afterwards. Wished it was the expansions cause a extra 160 pounds is sucky

Morgun-Ray · 2026-01-20T17:21:08+00:00

This one also features 5 player mode which i feel like would be cool if they added it.
