About the game

Unmatched Adventures: Tales to Amaze brings a cooperative campaign mode to the Unmatched system, themed around mid-20th-century pulp legends. Teams of heroes: including Nikola Tesla, Annie Christmas, the Golden Bat, and Dr. Jill Trent: must defeat villains like Mothman or the Martian Invader across unique battlefields with distinct objectives. Enemies use scripted action cards to move and attack, and the included heroes and battlefields also support standard competitive Unmatched play.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team is excited that this entry finally brings a well-designed cooperative mode to the Unmatched franchise, layering tactical combat against scripted villain AI on top of the series' signature asymmetric hero decks. The pulp-adventure theme is a delightful change of pace from the franchise's usual legendary figures. It's a great pick for fans who love the Unmatched combat system but want a cooperative option.

What we like

  • Brings a well-crafted cooperative mode to the beloved Unmatched combat system.
  • Charming pulp-adventure theme with distinctive new heroes.
  • Compatible with existing Unmatched heroes for competitive play too.
  • Solo mode supports the full cooperative campaign alone.

Keep in mind

  • Villain AI scripting can feel repetitive across multiple plays.
  • Requires familiarity with core Unmatched combat rules to fully enjoy.
