Board Game Nemesis Retaliation

Welcome back! It`s payback

time

You run down the corridor, tapping on metal. Red emergency lights are flashing all around, and ugly inhuman screeches and wheezing can be heard behind. They are getting closer. Without losing your self-control, you tear up the check and throw the grenade into the darkness. The explosion silences their screams as the flames engulf several drones at once. Acrid smoke hits your nostrils, you slam the door shut and pray that the fire won`t block the way to the nest. Grabbing the remnants of oxygen with your mouth, you rush on - there is almost no time left. The mission must be completed - and return at any cost.

"Nemesis. Retribution" is an independent game-continuation, the third part of the cult semi-cooperative series "Nemesis", which still occupies leading places in the gaming charts. After a long oppression of unknown alien beings, you return to avenge the fallen members of the team. This is the final part of science fiction horror - the most dynamic, the most cinematic and the most epic, full of action, events, obstacles and dangers.

A squad of highly qualified space marines lands on the station armed and ready to destroy the enemy. You are fully equipped: armor and a discharge belt complete with tactical equipment - ammunition and an oxygen tank. The air here is unfit for human lungs, so be careful not to die in battle simply from suffocation.

The game also offers a fully co-op mode, a solo mode, and more difficult playthroughs.

For fans of uncompromising American trash, PlayTale recommends testing your tactical skills and survival skills in the Zombicide game series and the intense game with the secret traitor The Creature.

What`s new?

Each character, as before, not only seeks to complete one of the two initial tasks, but must also survive this mission, eventually finding a safe place. So what will please the continuation of the story and what changes await the new parties?

Oxygen

Now you are always in danger of running out of oxygen. Each sector has a life support control room where air can be recirculated in the area.

You start the game with a certain supply of oxygen, but it decreases with each turn. You can use a balloon to last longer. Otherwise, you can get a suffocation token - if you don`t have time to restore the supply, you will die.

Map

The station is divided into three zones consisting of compartments connected by adjacent corridors. Characters can only be placed in compartments, and aliens can be placed in both compartments and corridors.

You disembark at the landing site, not knowing the route of the station. You will have to explore it on your own, gradually opening the map.

You came prepared!

During the preparation, you get auxiliary equipment, and during the game you can find other useful items. Armor protects you from serious injuries.

Each character has their own tactical belt, which consists of four slots for equipment tokens. The summaries can be filled with the following types of tactical equipment:

• ammunition — allows you to reload weapons;
• oxygen cylinder - restores three points of oxygen;
• grenade — effective against aliens in corridors;
• first aid kit - restores two health points.

You progress through the station, capturing it. To fortify a compartment against enemy attack, you can place a control token.

Powerful attacks

There are now two types of ranged attack available to you:

• Shooting in bursts. You can switch your weapon to automatic mode for a more powerful attack against the hordes of aliens in the corridors. Each hit kills one drone. You pull the trigger with fire in your eyes and fear in your heart — but burst attacks use up a lot of ammo.
• Shooting with single shots. Aliens are extremely mobile, so in tight spaces you should not waste ammo hoping to hit at random. You can precisely shoot the aliens in your compartment, and each hit deals damage to the enemy.

Also, you can still melee attack the alien in the compartment. Such an attack is a last resort, because if the alien survives it, it will strike back, and your risk of being infected increases dramatically.

New actions

According to the newly introduced concepts, characters have new actions available: place a control token, use a tactical equipment token, fire single shots in a compartment, fire bursts into a corridor, activate a robot.

Throw on the noise

After each move, roll against the noise and apply the effect depending on the result. You may hear a threat, give yourself away, or even be suddenly attacked by aliens.

Evacuation through the landing module

The station is equipped with anti-aircraft systems, but it is not known whether they are activated. In the landing pad compartment, you can try to evacuate through the lander, but will you be able to land safely? Active anti-aircraft systems can destroy you.

Unique characters

Each character has a rank. Characters of a higher rank can give orders to characters of a lower rank if they have the appropriate action cards.

A friendly robot

Fortunately, not all creatures on the station are hostile. While exploring the area, you may come across a friendly robot that you can use for your tasks. Until the meeting, it is not known which robot is at the station. He is in hibernation and will perform actions according to the orders of the characters.

End of game and check of victory conditions

The game ends when the 14th round ends or if there are no players left in the game, i.e. everyone has died or evacuated/hibernated.

Each player who fulfills all conditions is considered a winner:

1. Evacuate the station or go into hibernation. You must ensure your safety by using a lander, rescue shuttle, or hibernation pod.
2. Perform one of the tasks. Complete the conditions of the task card selected during the game, personal or shared.
3. Survive after infection and larval development procedures.

Each surviving character who successfully completes their task wins the game!
