However, the tiles that were included in the game all look a bit flat. The crowdfunding campaign featured some impressive map tile artwork, all of which were highly stylized illustrations with lots of shadow play. The character cards are no different, featuring classic artwork of the series’ heroes, Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien, as well as a variety of supporting characters.īut as great as that all sounds, I have a few gripes. Each of the mini Requisition cards have recognizable illustrations, like Iron Boots, pulled straight from iconic moments from the comics. And Mike Mignola’s involvement in the game’s development only strengthens the aesthetic.įrom minis and map tiles to Requsition (item) and character cards, Mignola’s unique art style is slathered over every corner of the game.
It comes across as a bit excessive and enemies could have absolutely been represented by smaller standees, but it’s an excellent representation of the spirit of Hellboy: widely varied and entirely over-the-top. In fact, just to fit them all in the box, Mantic has had to layer the trays in such a way that it appears that some (i.e Baba Yaga) are actually missing because they are neatly tucked underneath larger villains. There are trays upon trays of playable characters, baddies, and big ugly bosses. For readers who might be kicking themselves about missing out on the big box, a decent amount of the added content will be included in upcoming expansions such as the Conqueror Worm and B.P.R.D Archives.īut let’s talk about what’s in the box: miniatures, minis, and more plastic figures. The box for the Kickstarter edition is roughly 40% larger than the retail version of the game and it really impressed us. The Kickstarter project from Mantic Games was successfully funded late May 2018 with an insane amount of stretch goals adding component upgrades, new playable characters, and additional missions.
