About the game

Level 7 [Omega Protocol] is a one-vs-many miniatures game for 2-6 players, pitting an Overseer controlling alien monsters against a special-ops team assaulting the Subterra Bravo facility. Soldiers spend adrenaline to move and attack, but that same adrenaline fuels the Overseer's ability to spawn new threats, creating a tense resource tug-of-war. With modular boards, scenario-based objectives, and detailed miniatures, it's a meaty, tactical sci-fi horror confrontation.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team likes the asymmetric adrenaline mechanism in Level 7 [Omega Protocol], where the soldiers' own aggression directly empowers their opponent, a clever tension-builder. It's a sequel that stands reasonably well alone, offering satisfying tactical combat for fans of one-vs-many dungeon crawlers. The scenario structure and miniature count mean it needs a dedicated group and table space.

What we like

  • Clever adrenaline mechanic ties soldier actions to enemy threat.
  • Highly detailed miniatures enhance the sci-fi horror atmosphere.
  • Scenario-based structure adds replayability.
  • Asymmetric one-vs-many play offers a distinct dynamic.

Keep in mind

  • Long 90-minute playtime with high complexity.
  • Requires a player willing to run the Overseer role.
  • Significant miniature setup and table space needed.

Who it's for
