SynopsisJourney to the Tower at the End of the World and prevent the emergence of Omega, the omnipotent destroyer of all! Get lost in the streets of Archangel, plumb the depths of the Dark Forest, and contend with the might of a Dragon God, all while experiencing some of the finest art from the top names in Japanese illustration. Anima: Shadow of Omega includes: 110 cards 5 character counters 2 six-sided dice
This is a competitive quest completing game for 2 to 5 players it has the regular anima art style actually you might see some borrowed art assets from to rpg game and miniature game which isn't that bad it all a mater of opinion art styles do vary from card to card. the game works by players making parties of 4 characters gaining abilities all to complete a set of quests with a final global quest for everyone first one to finish it wins. the first and second editions are identical except for the final quest turn timer and a d10 to track this turn timer and the card stock is better.
I bought this after the i had two expansions of it personally I bought it for a collection I'd recommend the second expansion beyond good and evil over this version because of the better balance and the addition of arcane characters cards. If you like that anima card game then this game would be for you. You can then mix and match the decks to create a game you like with the rest of the expansions (you can't mix the 1st edition version of shadow of omega only the 2nd print of the game). also i recommend using the optional rules for the areas it makes the game quests a lot less random.
A solid improvement on the core game, especially now that it can be combined with the expansion without needing solid color card sleeves to hide which one it came from.
