My review of the excellent Space Hulk: Death Angel is available on this blog - http://alwaysboardneverboring.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/space-hulk-death-angel.html<br /><br />Death Angel does a superb job of condensing the theme and the feel of its big brother into a compact package, and I absolutely love it. Anima, on the other hand, just feels thin and bland. It's the difference between a chunky winter soup and watery gruel, really.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my review.Carbon Copyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155710832017131015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-59730283490550836092015-09-13T04:41:03.269-07:002015-09-13T04:41:03.269-07:00first off avoid space hulk death angels at all cos...first off avoid space hulk death angels at all costs(not a review i personally love it) and most of your issues come from this the ff small box games put a full board game into a few cards and this makes some detail<br />simply slip thru the cracks or become awkward and counter intuitive and uniformly the rue books are badly formatted the info is clear its just finding it and the style issues come from it being the asian interpretation of euro fantasy a reverse of the horrible 70-80 us shot kung fu movies using the tropes of a genre without understanding the sensibilities i am just now deciding if i like this particular game, just my thoughts on your thoughts Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346568410356668918noreply@blogger.com
