In Nemesis: Lockdown, you're part of a team exploring an alien-infested space base. Craft, hide and fight to make it out of its dark, threat-filled corridors. Fulfill your objective even if it means betraying your allies, but remember - this time, you are not the hunter. You are the PREY. From the Steam store page

    In the canceled game, the player would have taken control of heroes like T'Challa, Killmonger and Shuri, vying for the Black Panther mantle while fighting off Skrulls. It was an evolution of the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor, by the leads who made that game www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

    It's funny how rare it is for good AAA video game ideas to be adapted. I haven't seen any other game do anything like Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis, for instance, or copy the subtleness of the in-environment wind compass of Ghost of Tsushima. I think it's partially a consequence of dev cycle length.

    yes, absolutely. I’ve been saying repeatedly (and probably annoyingly) that you absolutely can do things like the Nemesis system without running up against the patent, you just have to know how. delighted to see another game prove it.

    There's a lot to complain about, and most people rightfully focus on Nemesis barely being in the game, but I think the genuinely insane part is that the only open area where you explore, get items and fight enemies in the entire game is less than an hour long. Everything else is linear.

    I love Nemesis. It's probably one of my favourite board games and trumps the majority of the video games I play in terms of enjoyment, though with that being said, this digital version has its issues. I'll go into more detail below, but what I recommend you to do is buy Tabletop Simulator. You'll have access to so many more board games– assuming they're in the Steam Workshop– and both Nemesis and Nemesis: Lockdown are on there, automated. With expansions!

    I solemnly do not recommend this game to anyone in their right mind, even on a major discount. Problems of these games are so numerous it is just sad but I will try to compile them into a quick read. 1. The biggest one, and actually the main reason that I don't recommend this game is the fact that the developer completely abandoned the game since there hasn't been a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ update since 2024. And it's not like this game is in good shape, au contrare, it is not only a buggy mess, it…

    The game is faithful to the core experience of the board game. I can not recommend it due to a number of glaring issues: - The game has largely been abandoned, not receiving an update in 2 years as of writing this review. - No community, want to play this multiplayer? there is almost no one to play with. If you're willing to wait 20 - 30 minutes for 4 - 5 players to trickle in, then you'll be ok. But for most there isn't much of a public player base and wait times for a full game can be very…

    A solid, if a little clunky, adaptation of the table top game. It is great... when it works. The game will randomly disconnect from the server and there is no save or backup functionality. If you were halfway through a game, congrats, you just wasted a few hours for nothing. The devs say this happens rarely and even have a cheeky achievement you earn when it does, but it has happened to me literally every game I've tried to play in the last few months. I can't recommend the game until this…

    This game is garbage. While it is very pretty, I've spent nearly ten hours in the game. Of that, two was with the multiplayer. Which is fine, if limited in options. The graphics are good, I ran into no major glitches. That said, the rest of the time was trying to finish the tutorial. Why? Because the TUTORIAL, which should be about learning basic game mechanics, killed me 90% of the time the first time I moved through a vent. Which, by the by, you MUST do to finish the scenario.

    The developers have chosen to shoot themselves in the foot by using AWS for servers that they admit have no money to pay for so they choose the cheapest option that can end your game at any moment. This game should have been peer to peer from the start. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS IF YOU WANT TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER!

In solo you can not use multiple characters to help like the board game so its 100% impossible to solo and win, you can't even do objectives, maybe once in 10 tries. I've played around 50 times completed objectives about 4 times and died 100% of the time even if completed the objectives it still kills you either by contamination, or the company kills everyone anyway at the end.

    The game follows the rules of the board game strictly, and allows no customization. If you want to pick a specific character, well, you can't. They have a "feature request" thread up on the steam forums, that has been up for a couple of years, but... If you go through the updates since that time, you'll see that the devs have very much moved on from this game. Another gripe is that there is no hot seat mode. This is a digital adaptation of a board game, hot seat is very necessary for a game…

    It's just so confused. As a classic Nemesis player looking to find a way into Lockdown, it was a major letdown, especially being a huge fan of the visually similar aesthetic to XCOM at a glance. It tries so hard to be faithful to the board game by referring to things by using the same iconography and naming conventions, but at the same time avoids offering the transparency provided by the original board game. In places where clarity is paramount in the original game, this adaptation intends to…
