My very first game of Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars had me tensely setting up foliage to weigh the odds in my favour, picking out the perfect team of mutated animals to cover as much ground as possible, and weighing up opponents to know who will shoot first — then I fired a warthog directly into an enemy sending their buildings crumbling down with it.
Off the back of a successful Kickstarter campaign managing to pull in over £100,000, Mutant Year Zero doesn't just pay aesthetic homage to its source material, but it takes particular note of the series' tone, characters and more. If you like Mutant Year Zero, this is a great companion piece to the series. However, it needs to do quite a lot to pull in a more casual observer.
