Neuroshima Hex
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
After reading through the seven page manual including a post-apocalypse scenario, kids start a new game with the computer (\"AI\"). On their turn, kids draw and place headquarters, fighting units, and module tiles, and can initiate battles with action tiles. When a battle begins, the properties of each tile go into effect in four initiative phases. When all the tiles have been drawn, the winner is the one with the fewest hits on their headquarters. Kids can refer to online tutorials for basics and strategy.
Is It Any Good?
NEUROSHIMA HEX is not for everyone. It requires players to be focused, engaged, and able to quickly adjust strategies based on the pace of the game. For those players who fit that description, it is a highly intriguing and easily addicting experience. Anyone who has already played the Neuroshima Hex board game will find this to be a faithful recreation. In short, while some players will find this title to be boring or uninteresting, those who have a mind for complex combat strategies or are willing to dig into the deep nuances offered in this game will come away satisfied.
