Our take on Nemesis: Lockdown
Rather than making players the hunters, the game places them in the role of prey. Its turn-based card structure combines survival, secret objectives, and possible betrayal, replacing a straightforward cooperative campaign with sessions shaped by private motives and sudden events.
What is Nemesis: Lockdown?
Nemesis: Lockdown is a turn-based sci-fi horror game set in an alien-infested Mars base.
Players explore dark corridors, search for items, manage cards to perform actions, and pursue an individual objective. Survival may involve hiding, escaping, defending against Intruders, or deceiving other players. Random events occur during each round, adding changing threats to the session. The game supports solo play and multiplayer, with a semi-cooperative structure built around secret objectives and hidden traitors. One participant may secretly sabotage the mission, while weapons function mainly as defensive tools rather than dependable means of eliminating aliens. The digital game adapts the Nemesis board-game series and uses a cinematic presentation with unforgiving random outcomes.
