These display important information like a full list of traits and powers, as well as what categories the character belongs to. In addition to the titular mechanic though, there are also character cards. No writing or calculating required, just click the HeroClix. While somewhat gimmicky, this is actually quite handy, streamlining the tracking of stats and making it simpler for players to figure out the state of their figures and to judge their moves accordingly. By turning or ‘clicking’ the dial when a character is hurt or healed, you reveal the new stat values that they have in their current state. These numbers represent the character’s speed, attack, and defense. ![]() Every minifig’s base is a ‘combat dial’, which shows a variety of numbers. The ‘clix’ part of HeroClix is the main thing that separates this game from others of its kind. These are pre-painted pieces, and they’ve been painted well. Those who have looked at other such games, like Warhammer, can rest easy. The game is centered on a large board (and I do mean large, please don’t try and set this up on a coffee table) and, of course, the minifigures.

If you’ve been thinking about getting into HeroClix and you liked What If…? than this is a perfectly fine jumping in point. If you like HeroClix and you liked What If…? then this is a good addition to your collection. It’s not bad, it’s not a problem, it’s just…this is just HeroClix with a What If…? coat of paint. HeroClix is a long running, modular game, and this is just another piece of that long running chain. ![]() And that’s not the fault of this game, nor of WizKids. I’ll be honest, a lot of the technical aspects of this review are going to be close to copy and paste from my Empyre HeroClix review. 1 Full-Color HeroClix Core Rulebook (2022 edition).2 Full color Powers and Abilities Cards (2022 edition).18 Object, Terrain, and Bystander tokens.10 Premium Quality Pre-Painted Miniatures each with TWO ways to play for beginner or advanced play.A rich multi-session campaign for 2 players that pivots and turns based on the results of the last session.
