You’re working in a factory, and there is a deck of cards that represent various machines in that factory breaking down. Thematically … Cyberion is perhaps one of the less “out there” titles in the series. In fact… this might be as close to the original game - Onirim - as the series has got to date… and Onirim is, IMHO, a very high bar to reach! I might even be tempted to say… extremely well. So how does this first instalment to the third - and final(?) - Oniverse release cycle stack up?įrom first impressions … really well. Some of the games have, perhaps, been stronger than others - I still feel a lot more drawn towards the first trilogy ( Onirim / Castellion / Sylvion)* than the second ( Nautilion / Aerion / Stellarion) - but every one of them has explored some absolutely rock-solid, interesting solo gaming mechanisms, been an artistic delight to explore, and each and every game in the series has been well worth a play. Long-time readers of the blog will be aware of the fact that I’m a bit of a fan of the Oniverse series of games … both from the point of view that they’re very neat little solo games (with oodles of “in-spansion” content, if you choose to explore the various permutations of additional ways to play each game), and also from the point of view of the distinctive artistic direction of the game world.

I’m only on Lantern year 7 of the Dreamkeeper campaign right now, and I’m not going to have an awful lot of free time before the end of the year (it turns out that starting a new job in December doesn’t do your holiday quota any good at all!). And when I got this expansion - back in the late days of Summer - I figured that the timings might just about work out right for me to encounter Atnas during our real-life festive season! Atnas the Child Eater (if you haven’t already figured it out, say his name backwards) is part of the Kingdom Death: Monster Gamblers Chest expansion a Nemesis monster which shows up in the 10th game of the campaign.
