Had a chance to play Kaiju City over the weekend, brief review/session report:
I decided to go all custom decks from tosx's The Cauldron for this fight - Vanish, The Knight, Quicksilver, and Tango One vs 3 headed Tiamat. Lots of monsters to kill! :devil:
The heroes were victorious and it was a relatively stress free fight, as all ended the game with HP in the low teens. All heroes contributed to the cause and by the time 4 Kaiju were defeated Tiamat was down to around 10 HP left on each head, and the heroes were able to make short work of the villain. But the Jaeger was down to about 5 HP thanks to mostly repeated blows by the Astro Monster, so the game was nearly lost due to the meltdown condition on that card.
The approach was to focus damage on the Kaiju and only target the villain with leftover AoE damage, and allow the Kaiju to pound on Tiamat. As a result, it almost felt like the environment was the villain and vice versa - kind of flipped the typical flow of a game.
This game was a lot of fun and I think this might be my new favorite environment deck. Watching the Kaiju beat up on each other was very entertaining. Alien Invaders worked brilliantly and was the first priority for damage on every turn, until Tango One managed to shuffle it into the deck with Wet Work. Initially after looking at the cards my thought was that the Kaiju had too much HP and dealt too much damage, but it ended up feeling just right and very well balanced. Admittedly the hero team was pretty strong and Tiamat isn't the toughest villain, looking forward to playing again with another setup.
Two thumbs way up for Kaiju City! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
