This publisher took a bunch of money from people ion Kickstarter to deliver a v2 of Last Stand and then upped and vanished basically stealing our money. I would never support them again.

An absolutely amazing game, and very quickly become my favorite RPG. The game takes a hands off approach skills, leaving rolls and abilities only for conflict resolution in combat, under the pretense that the players can act out their actions just fine on their own. Each stat is also a measure of your remaining health, without actually being a ton of book keeping like ability damage in most other games, as the game is built entirely around it. It also abandons the traditional level up or point buy systems, with all character advancement being based on the enemies you are fighting, with one new power guaranteed each session, while it limits your overall powers to force you to manage them with your party. Character creation is also extremely fast and fun, using a draft system where players each build their character from a dwindling hand of cards, and then apply it the selected cards to a Bio-Armor to get the stats for their character, as well as 8 total starting abilities.

The game isn't without its flaws though. Social combat is a bit shoehorned in, given the games otherwise hands off approach to roleplaying. A few abilities MUST be taken at character creation, or you will never have access to them as all enemies lack that ability (such as aquatic and wallcrawl), and a few powers aren't exactly clear on what happens when crafted as bioarmor(such as the drone powers). A few token effects are missing from the book, but can be found in the card images that come with it, or on the developers website.

The system used is great, and I love it to death. I am extremely excited to see more games in the Fortune System, to greatly expand the potential of the system.

I really enjoyed this game - it's a great take on tactical combat and it presents you with a load of options on how to grow your character. The system is flexible enough to handle both one-shot set pieces from your favorite giant monster movies as well as an ongoing campaign about humanity fighting back against giant beasts. If you're a fan of movies and games that feature giant monsters, aliens invading, or just interesting tactical combat then I'd definitely recommend you pick up this game. The developer has also done an excellent job with creating a framework that leaves room for both a story and for easily adding your own elements into the game.

I really liked the game, I liked the presentation, I loved the cover. The sector rules for movement are a very good balance point between standard grids and completely abstract positioning. I'm not sure if I like the way hit points are handled (the game does not have hit points per ser, characters take damage to their stat scores and you're defeated once they are all at 0). The stats are kinda refreshing, set up in a way different from what you expect in most RPGs. There is a Megaman aspect to fights - you can rip parts of your enemies and use them for a temporary (or even permanent) power up. Descriptions are short and easy. The rules are actually pretty simple. The game sounds like a lot of fun.

There were a few things I didn't like, though. The internal art is AWFUL. It might have been to drive home the B movie feel, but I dislike it. Bioarmor versus insectoid aliens is the focus of a lot of works with good art (Guyver springs to mind). I'm very disappointed at that, specially after such a kickass cover. I didn't really like the draft format for creating characters, but it's option even though it's the official method.
