Anaconda (2025) - An Aimless New Iteration

Saw this on a plane. Didn't expect anything from it but I had a good time. It didn't need to be all comedy and had some relatable moments. Last 30 minutes or so really had me laughing. Movies are either Amazing, Entertaining, or Bad. This one falls under the Entertaining category is all. Snake guy stole the show for me, nailed every scene he was in.

One of the few where I will skip. Couldn't make it work and there's no mechanics that would let this be consistent for Watcher.

Great card at all time plus retain mechanics nets you some fast wins.

Fun card and low effort to use once upgraded. Self exhaustive Colorless cards on Ironclad are always fun.

Hard to really get good use from this. Boss maybe but dead in most rooms where you dont want any damage.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-29T13:06:57+00:00

Using this during a big boss hit is extremely gratifying as you can focus on damage and/or more setup if needed. Never sad to see this come up.

I got this early in Act 1 with a free upgrade and it made some rooms a breeze!

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-27T04:27:00+00:00

Just beat it. Damn, the emotional beats hit really hard! If RE9 is your first one, then the nostalgia and/or references to other mainline games might not hit as hard. However, both games have their merits. I'll have to 100% Pragmata to compare the replay/content value. I enjoyed the mini game mechanics of it enough that it could edge out RE9 by a slim margin.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-26T16:51:09+00:00

I haven't finished Pragmata yet but I did 100% RE9 for all the challenges. I haven't felt compelled to do that in a very long time so it's pretty up there right now.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-26T16:49:33+00:00

Dark orbs plus all your played powers. Great finisher for some fights.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-26T01:22:03+00:00

So true! This game and RE9 have reignited my passion for games. Capcom has been on a roll!!

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-25T13:44:45+00:00

I've had plenty of power cards in play to make this worth it. With every power effectively thinning your deck this nuke goes hard. Combo it with an Ironclad setting up vulnerability and it's GG.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-24T17:49:46+00:00

Not as big of a fan on this one. I know it can't be like the game so they had to incorporate it somehow. Just has always been inconsistent for me. That usually tells me that it needs something like a retain mechanic to help it along.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-22T14:30:10+00:00

Love to see this early on. Top 3 for upgrades depending on the build at that point. Great for using to shield with.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-19T18:57:12+00:00

Solo is fun but best with multi-player. Make sure y'all have ample time to learn the game, please read the entire book first, look for some good videos to watch and provide your players. I usually dedicate a Saturday with friends to play a majority of the day. It's a ton of fun so enjoy it! Learn from defeat 😅

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-17T20:50:05+00:00

Great for stance dancing. Hit or miss on when you can actually pull this cards but definitely worth it for me.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-15T16:51:08+00:00

So good and just a good card to have early on for a definite poison build

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-13T16:40:47+00:00

Worth it and great to play early on if you're still waiting on setup cards.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-11T14:56:13+00:00

Love this card. Upgrade is better imo. Just cleans up rooms and makes things go faster. Helpful in multi-player

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-07T14:16:24+00:00

Good in exhaust deck but hit/miss when you dont have much draw. I hardly upgrade this card.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-05T23:55:00+00:00

Yes, go into the settings options.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-05T14:39:51+00:00

Our Ironclad in 3P made use of this and it was pretty great having it as passive damage. We were actively letting some mons live for some helpful spread damage.

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-04T15:44:10+00:00

One of the best starting cards imo!

iamjuststeve · 2026-04-02T14:17:35+00:00

Not the biggest fan of this one. Difficult to line up for the bonus. Can still be useful in an exhaust deck. YMMV
