Single Player Experience

[midnight_mangler]

Does the original game have a solo experience and is it engaging? The game looks intriguing but it is not something I will be able to play multiplayer often.

Original game? You mean the lockdown boardgame?
Both have solo modes and are highly themstic experiences. Although I must say the not knowing if you can trust the other players or if theyll backstab you adds quite an additional layer to the game 👌 but ive played dozens of solo games, both physically aswell as digitally and can only recommend :)

i prefer the board games [both of them] solo.
played them both many times..a great experience ..think ridley in alien movie towards the end when it was just her vs the alien...thats a simlar thing.

Nemesis Lockdown is really hard solo, og Nemesis solo is way easier IMO. It's designed with 3-5 players in mind. Nevertheless, it is a damn good (early access) game and solo works well and it strongly depends on your preferences if you will like it or not.

I never understood how people can play board games alone. I have played the main board game many times, and I couldn't see it being something enjoyable solo.

Well it seems clear that, despite your lack of understanding, some people do :-)

It is fortunate that your understanding is not required for our enjoyment.

That sounds awesome.

Nemesis is more fun with friends but I do enjoy playing it solo from time to time, I'm hoping this will be just as fun

But have you ever tried it? Not saying you'll like it but you might. Only one way to know for sure.

Personally, I prefer playing boardgames with others but will occasionally play by myself if I really want to play a game and don't have anyone to play with. I am the exact opposite with video games.

Also, some boardgames are better solo than others. There are even a few that I prefer solo, for example Mage Knight. I haven't tried either Nemesis game solo but suspect I'd greatly prefer them with others. Hopefully the experience in the PC implementation will rival the cardboard one and I'll get this one "to the table" much more frequently.

Really no different from playing a singleplayer game on PC.

The current digital game doesn't offer the proper solo/co-op mode.

The solo is more or less just playing the multiplayer with only a single character. Good for exploring mechanics, less great for everything else.

it has the proper solo mode?
onehanded solo is the standard solo variant. that one is fully implemented and works!

Nemesis also has co-op only objectives that are designed at a higher challenge level because they remove the uncertainty of traitors and instead task you with fufilling multiple objectives as a team.

Which would be what would function as a playable solo mode that actually has legs.

As a new player to the game I found my first solo experience to be a mixed bag. I had fun, but I had to alt tab and look at the pdf rulebook because I didn’t have a full understanding of the game. The in-game tutorial and wiki feels incomplete.

For what it’s worth, here’s my full playthrough so you can see the flow of play.
