A new coat of paint on an interesting system, but a real let down in terms of a second edition. The differences from the first edition are pretty much limited only in how it looks with a tiny tweak or two. Notably there seem to be some editing issues; typos happen to anyone but in one case an entire description was missing with a big red [DESCRIPTION GOES HERE] instead. I didn't own the first edition (played it with a friend), but if I did own it buying this new edition wouldn't this worth the price tag in the slightest.

Disappointing as a second edition, but if you're just getting into the system it can still be worth it as the system itself remains sleek and playable. Might want to wait for a sale though.

To the publishers, I really did love the concept but I'd have hoped for more mechanics or more depth to what's there in a second edition, a new font choice and a new optional setting isn't really enough to justify buying it again.

We had a lot of fun playing this our first time out. Mech and kaiju creation was quick and straightforward and we were able to jump into the action. Much love for the Shakespeare-infused microsetting!
