Look alive, Heroes!

We moved so fast that we reached Miles in no time!

Of course, boosted by our most recently revealed Sentinel Strike Optional Buy, the Kickstarter Exclusive expansion that brings the Sentinels and Professor X, in both Super Hero and Zombie Hero versions, to Marvel Zombies! Make sure to check it out!

The next Stretch Goal comes from another galaxy to pester New York city.

If we reach $5,630k we will unlock the Kickstarter Exclusive zombie Nova for all backers, including his Zombie Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Zombie Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Hero Mode!

Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.

ZOMBIE MODE: Channeling the power of the Xandarian Worldmind, Nova’s helmet allows him to predict the actions of those around him. Combined with the enhanced strength, speed, and stamina it affords him, it makes Nova a devastating foe to any Super Hero.

HERO MODE: Still one of the toughest foes you can face, Nova also gains additional movement actions when specific Rush cards are drawn. What’s worse than a tough zombie? A fast-moving tough zombie from the Nova Corps!

Until next time, stay hungry!

Look alive, Heroes!

We didn't need Nova's predictions to see that he'd be easy to successfully unlock!

Specially after our most recently revealed Optional Buy, the Sentinel Strike expansion! If you haven't yet, make sure to check it out!

The next Stretch Goal is ready to join the party.

If we reach $5,730k we will unlock the Kickstarter Exclusive living Baron Zemo for all backers, including his Super Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Hero Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Zombie Mode!

Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.

HERO MODE: A master strategist and gifted swordsman, Baron Zemo brings a mixture of tactical prowess and combat strategy to any team. He's already used to being ten steps ahead of most Super Heroes, how much easier will that be now that they lack even those brains?

ZOMBIE MODE: Employing his master strategies to take down the Zombie Heroes, Zemo might not directly act himself, instead using others around him as pawns in his plans.

Until next time, stay hungry!

Daily Bugle – February 1: Evening Edition + The Art of War

Look alive, Heroes!

We have reached $6,100k - a historical mark, as CMON's most funded campaign to date! - thanks to YOU!

And with that, Spider-Woman is unlocked!

Reaching this amazing mark was boosted by our major reveals today:

The amazing Clash of the Sinister Six expansion:

And also the addition of a couple different "all-in" pledges:

The next Stretch Goal will bring the arsenal needed to fight off the zombies.

If we reach $6,300k we will unlock the Kickstarter Exclusive living War Machine for all backers, including his Super Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Hero Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Zombie Mode!

Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.

HERO MODE: While Iron Man prefers his mobility and hit-and-run tactics, War Machine takes a much more direct approach to dealing with the zombie threat: Blast them into tiny pieces! If what you want is to bring raw firepower to the team, then War Machine will be a welcome addition!

ZOMBIE MODE: Long-range destructive capabilities combined with the toughness afforded by his armor, War Machine is a real threat to the Zombie Heroes once he’s on the move.

On the wake of the recent sinister developments, this edition is filled with electrifying news!

Today’s Daily Reward is adding the Kickstarter Exclusive living Electro for all backers, including his Super Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Hero Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Zombie Mode!

Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.

HERO MODE: Electro’s tactics of shock and awe can be quite effective against the zombies. Using his mastery over electricity, he can not only electrocute the enemy to take them out, but also more strategically stun them so they are out of commission for a while.

ZOMBIE MODE: The crackling air should be a warning for players to stay away from Electro, as his electricity attacks can over a wide area around him. More so, eliminating him can trigger a dangerous power overcharge.

Daily Bugle – January 31: Evening Edition

Look alive, Heroes!

Today's evening edition comes following a huge reveal, the Kickstarter Exclusive Sentinel Strike expansion Optional Buy, that brings the towering Sentinels  to challenge the players and the powerful Professor X in both Super Hero and Zombie Hero versions! If you missed this major reveal, make sure to check it out here!

In this edition we uncover the secrets of a hero who plays his cards close to his chest!

Today’s Daily Reward is adding the Kickstarter Exclusive living Gambit for all backers, including his Super Hero Piece, ID Card for playing him in Hero Mode, and Spawn Card for fighting him in Zombie Mode!

Note the X-Men Resistance core box is needed to play in Hero Mode.

HERO MODE: With his bo staff and overcharged playing cards, Gambit is a threat at both range and in close combat, incorporating his skills to empower his attacks with Kinetic Energy to unleash devastating hits upon the zombie hordes!

ZOMBIE MODE: When Gambit appears, best take him out quickly, because the longer he is allowed to charge his cards, the more damage they will deal, potentially allowing him to take out a Zombie Hero in a single strike!

Sentinel Strike!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 12:33:13 PM

Look alive, Heroes!

Even as the zombie apocalypse rages on, the threats that plagued the lives of heroes do not cease. Sentinels, the colossal, automated mutant hunters are still on the prowl. As the obedient robots that they are, they will hunt whoever they are programmed to, be it the living or the undead, mutant or not. But two can play at this game, as the heroes have captured and reprogrammed a Sentinel of their own!

For $40, Sentinel Strike is a Kickstarter Exclusive expansion for Marvel Zombies that brings the towering Sentinel robots to challenge the players! These automated hunters adapt to the players strategies, coordinating to eliminate them. To aid the players, the powerful Professor X himself joins the fight, in both Super Hero and Zombie Hero versions. And if that’s not enough, the players can even take control of Nana, the reprogrammed Sentinel!

The Sentinel Strike expansion comes with:

• 3 Oversized Sentinel Game Pieces
• 1 Professor X Super Hero Game Piece
• 1 Professor X Zombie Hero Game Piece
• 2 Super Hero ID Cards
• 1 Zombie Hero ID Card
• 2 Super Hero Spawn Card
• 1 Zombie Hero Spawn Cards
• 6 Sentinel Action Cards
• 2 Sentinel Spawn Cards
• Missions Booklet

Let’s explore each of the different things that this expansion brings to the game: 

GAME PIECES

Each of the Sentinels has a unique, highly detailed game piece, measuring a whopping 13cm if standing straight.

OVERVIEW

Sentinels can be added to any scenario to bring an extra challenge to the players. These giant robots, programmed to hunt down and exterminate any mutant lifeforms, do not care about the distinction between living and dead. If it’s still moving, it’s a threat that must be eliminated.

This expansion will contain a few Sentinel-centered scenarios for both Zombie Mode (using the New York tiles from the Marvel Zombies core box) and Hero Mode (using the X-Mansion tiles from the X-Men Resistance core box).

A TROUBLING TRIO

While one Sentinel is already a problem, in this case trouble comes in threes! When one Sentinel is spawned, it immediately triggers the spawning of the remaining ones across the map. Worse yet, they strike with robotic coordination, gaining additional benefits with other nearby Sentinels.

UNIQUE PROGRAMMING

The Sentinels do not function like your standard enemy spawns. No, similar to Silver Surfer, Red Skull, and Thanos, these enemies feature their own Action Deck, dictating what they will do each activation. Once the alarm is set and enemies discovered, it is only a matter of time before the others appear to give reinforcement!

HERO MODE: From the pages of Marvel Zombies: Resurrection comes Nana, a named Sentinel/caretaker of the Reeds’ children. For the player who always dreamed of controlling these massive robots, this is your chance, as Nana appears as a fully playable Super Hero, joining the others to fulfill her protocols of protection. With Skills that allow her to safeguard those around her, she is still no slouch in combat, as, above all else, she is still a highly advanced weapon of war!

ZOMBIE MODE: As one more added bonus, Nana will also come with a unique enemy Spawn Card, so for those who still want to see a giant robot rampaging across the map, but perhaps don’t want to deal with a full-blown Sentinel invasion, then this option has you covered!

HERO MODE: Playing as Charles Xavier is quite a different experience. Attacking the zombies directly is not really his thing. Instead, he acts as a powerful leader and support element to the Super Hero team. Utilizing his telepathy, Professor X can save his allies from harm by identifying nearby threats, as well as boost the Power of other Super Heroes.

ZOMBIE MODE: Professor X taps into the working sections of the zombie brain, temporarily blocking the players’ ability to draw extra strength form their Hunger. 

ZOMBIE MODE: The neat thing about being a telepath is that you can trap your prey and bring it to you. While pulling enemies towards you to be easily Devoured is a nice trick, the real value Professor X brings to your team is in his Skills which aid in boosting nearby allies, granting them additional Actions as well as attack modifiers.

HERO MODE: Facing the world’s strongest telepath is already a problem. Now make them a zombie. While nearby, it will cost additional focus to make use of your Skills, meaning additional Power must be spent to activate them!

If you want to face the coordinated assault of the mighty Sentinels, make sure to add the Sentinel Strike Kickstarter Exclusive expansion to your pledge!
