The 7th Citadel – Drums of Desolation Part 5

It’s been a bit since I got The 7th Citadel by Serious Poulp Games to the table. But it’s back and come see how Casek and Arthen are doing on building up their town. Things have been going okay, but now that there’s a new tremor, is the town still going to be in good condition? And what else is happening and what is their next mission in the Drums of Desolation threat for The 7th Citadel?

Catch up here.

The 7th Citadel – The Story

I might have already started talking about the story, but I want to continue that conversation around it because I think there are some interesting story elements to the game.

Firstly, this is a unique feeling world. Sure, worms could make it feel like Dune or Tremors, but it doesn’t. Thus far I don’t feel like they’ve played a major impact on the game. Still, it’s really nice to see it as a backdrop in the world, something that is a looming threat from the story. Also just their whole necrodruid element feels like something unique that you don’t get in a lot of other games, which I appreciate.

The story itself comes in bits and pieces. A lot of the story that I’m getting is more about the general world. As I walked to Kel in the video it’s getting bits of story from characters we meet along the way, or more often from situations that we run across. And those are just atmospheric to the world.

Then you also get your story elements in each quest as well and leading into and out of the quests. I think that the 7th Citadel does a good job of balancing story and game play. Because the game play is very simple, but it’s engaging. That push your luck and resource and life management is fantastic. But it wouldn’t be as good without that more direct story.

Upcoming Streams

On Monday I play small solo game plays. The schedule is, right now, going to look like gaming every other Monday. A chance to see people in person came up for Monday and as much as I like streaming, it’s good to socialize as well. And I might do more deck construction with Star Wars Unlimited on Mondays as well or pack openings. Right now it’ll be more Slay the Spire.

On Wednesdays, I play solo campaign games. I plan on playing a campaign game coming up. Right now I’m torn between two games. Well, more than that if you watched through the end of the video. And that is more of The 7th Citadel. I plan to keep playing through The Drums of Desolation for a while so join me for that.
