Darklight: Memento Mori

[General Lee]

If you've been looking for a Warhammer Quest like game, look no further, Darklight is it! and it is looking stunning!

Meh. Underwhelmed by the miniatures so far. They have to get into overdrive before I pledge, because this is, ehm, not too exiting... Fine if they prefer quality over quantity, but be sure you make the quality appealing enough and so far it isn't...

Looks neat (and almost copying some of the Warhammer Quest tiles, which I'm okay with).  I'll have to dig into the rules and see if I like them.  The figures leave me a bit cold and I have so much dungeon stuff accrued I may have to pass on this one.  It's not exactly cheap but at this point it's doubtful I need 70 more figures.  I'll have to watch this - they're doing pretty darn good so far! ($60,000 in a single day...)

I always let the models speak for themselves. Of course, my spare room is full of them so I don't need any more models ( who does anyways ) but I'm an addict and so, still buy what's interesting. So if the price is right and the models ok I buy. I really was anticipating this one, but so far it's a no. Make it more attractive, because I don't see anything at the moment why I should back it right now. ( and the worst thing is, the cash is there, I'm not a "o, my god, my wallet hurts, blahblahblah" guy, I want to see something and throw my cash at it if it's ok... So, guys, do your best...

A bit surprised by all the critiscism to be honost. I guess beaty really is in the eye of the beholder. I've been looking for something that looks as good as Warhammer Quest for years. Not a single game (Descent, Dungeon Saga etc.) has scratched that itch, this one does

I don't think we're meaning to criticize it.  However, a KS or a new product has to have something that makes me go "holy crap, that's cool!".  Could be a miniature (even one!), terrain, novel rules/ideas, etc.

This looks plenty fine, but I don't see anything that makes me want to desperately buy in and be involved.  That being said, it's very early - if unlocks generate some new neat stuff I may go in on it.  Failing that, if the game is particularly fun - I'll buy it after the KS.

The "ooh-aah" factor isn't there at the moment.  Add to that I am still waiting on the theoretical production of the re-boot for Hero Quest I don't "need" the game.

you mean the Gamezone one? Me too, but I think it's safe to say we lost some money there.....

[Elbows]

Yeah, that's looking more and more the case...

[Malebolgia]

Awesome looking game . Thanks for sharing!

[Vermis]

Maybe you'll think I'm making a meal of this, but the first thing I see is the box art with two male PCs armoured up like turtles, with weapons heavier than themselves, and the two female PCs in their shaman bikinis and studded bustiers, and I just feel tired.

When I watched the intro-video I wasn't sure what to expect as the characters are all in the buff for the first few minutes. 

[Duncan McDane]

Well, as my backer buddy already pledged at the early bird 2 box level I'm counting myself in  .
Especially since they lowered the price a bit and made the stretch goals become more easily available. Hope we'll reach that Hybernian big thingy soon, monsters like that usually make or break a KS and I want to see the real model, not a drawing...
