I’ve only played through the first campaign so far, but in that campaign the designers did an excellent job of making the characters and the space station come to life through the story snippets. Secrets of the Lost Station is a really good mix of story and game. Check out the Secrets of the Lost Station rulebook (PDF) for more info. If you do lose, you can choose to replay the scenario or move forward by using the Alternate Reality Control, which could have negative consequences later on.Īs you move through a campaign, you’ll be able to unlock a whole bunch of stuff, including new characters, new upgrades for the explorers, new items, and new Station rooms. You’ll lose if you don’t complete the objectives in time, if an enemy completes their objective, or if an explorer is “near death” (basically their health was reduced to zero twice and no one was able to revive them). You’ll beat a scenario if you’re able to complete all of its objectives. The third type of token is the Random Event token, which could be a blank event (nothing happens), a Station Event (read the text in the Scenario Guide), or an Explorer Event (your explorer can “recall” some memories from their past and gets some stat boosts). If you flip a Scenario Trigger, you’ll read that passage in the Scenario Guide. If you flip a Combat event, either a new enemy will show up or all of the enemies on the space station will move and attack. Station Phase – During this phase you flip and resolve the next token on the Station Event Track.During performance checks (including combat), you combine your base attribute with any bonuses you get from items and abilities, and then roll that many dice and hope for some successes. Explorer Phase – You can perform one Move action (which could include revealing and placing a new Station room tile), one Explorer action (combat, activate an explorer/item/room ability, heal, etc.), and one of each free action (includes searching in some rooms and using items).Each explorer also has a unique one-use-per-scenario ability. Explorers also have four main adjustable stats: Stamina (health), Audacity (gives you rerolls), Courage (allows you to use the “focused” version of your ability cards), and Power (allows you to upgrade your abilities). The explorers have six attributes – Strength, Dexterity, Knowledge, Mythos, Combat, and Movement – which will let you know how many dice to roll when performing those types of skill checks. Besides the story text, the Station Event Track will be different from scenario to scenario, with tokens that activate as you move through the game. Setting up a scenario is pretty straightforward since the guide lists all of the components you’ll need. To start or continue a campaign, you simply choose your explorers and then go to the next scenario in the Scenario Guide. Secrets of the Lost Station has 10 campaigns that you can play through, each containing a number of different scenarios with unique objectives. Secrets of the Lost Station was designed by Christopher Batarlis and Jim Samartino, and it’s published by Everything Epic Games. During each mission you have to react to different events that take place on a mysterious space station, learn about your explorers, and fend off enemies. Secrets of the Lost Station is a sci-fi, adventure, campaign game in which you play as the last members of a 4000-year-old secret society who are tasked with defending the galaxy. We were sent a copy of this game by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This Secrets of the Lost Station review was made after playing through the first campaign.
