Nemesis: Retaliation: Core Box (EN)

Nemesis: Retaliation drags you into the guts of a spaceborne base overrun by the Primeblood, a merciless alien horde that adapts and grows deadlier the longer a mission drags on. This time you are not a lone survivor pulled out of hibernation: you play a highly trained marine sent on a strike mission, loaded with gear and tasked with precise objectives to complete before extraction. Every corridor you explore and every door you force open can reveal a swarming nest of creatures or something worse: a hidden traitor among your own squad. The modular board redraws the base every game, the reworked health system forces you to juggle oxygen and wounds in real time, and tight equipment management pushes you into risky tactical calls turn after turn.

Nemesis: Retaliation is for you if you are hooked on sci-fi survival horror games where every revealed card ratchets up the tension, whether you play solo or with up to 5 players who are ready to eye each other with suspicion. Fans of tactical exploration, tight resource management, and replayable missions thanks to the modular board will find exactly what they are looking for here.

Nemesis: Retaliation earned a very high average rating from the BoardGameGeek community right out of the gate and carved out a spot among the site's top-rated thematic games. The title was also nominated at the 2026 Golden Geek Awards in the Cooperative Game and Thematic Game categories, a recognition that confirms how attached players have become to the Nemesis series.

The game was designed by Adam Kwapiński, the creator behind the original Nemesis and its sequel Nemesis: Lockdown, two titles already known for their intense survival horror atmosphere and betrayal mechanics. With Retaliation, he pushes the health system, the oxygen management, and the hidden individual objectives even further, while keeping the DNA that made the series a hit.
