Nemesis
About the Game
Playing Nemesis will take you into the heart of sci-fi survival horror in all its terror. A soldier fires blindly down a corridor, trying to stop the alien advance. A scientist races to find a solution in his makeshift lab. A traitor steals the last escape pod in the very last moment. Intruders you meet on the ship are not only reacting to the noise you make but also evolve as the time goes by. The longer the game takes, the stronger they become. During the game, you control one of the crew memb
Reviews
Nemesis
Nemesis is the closest I’ve felt to starring in my own sci-fi horror movie. This game drips with tension and theme – every time I play, I have at least one moment of genuine panic (like when an “intruder” suddenly ambushed our wounded captain in the engine room). I love how the game forces tough choices: do I go back for a friend or save my own skin? Fix the ship or hightail it to an escape pod? It’s cooperative at heart but with that semi-cooperative distrust twist that leads to epic stories. The production quality is insane too (the miniatures and artwork really set the mood). The downsides? It’s a beast to set up and teach. Our first game took a long time as we fumbled through rules for noise rolls, fires, events – there are a lot of little details. And Nemesis can be brutally unfair; I’ve seen a character get killed by a lucky alien strike or an untimely event card, and that player just had to sit out. That randomness is part of the ride, but it might irk some people. I gathered others’ thoughts with the help of an AI, and it echoes my take: Nemesis is an unforgettable experience if you can embrace some chaos. I’d give it 8/10.
