Level 7 [Omega Protocol] 2nd Edition Now On Kickstarter
October 18, 2018 by cassn
LEVEL 7 is a sinister science fiction setting where nefarious conspiracies conceal the government’s collaboration deep within an underground research facility with an unspeakable alien menace. Officially, the top-secret military base doesn’t exist. There is no record of it: no blueprints, no photographs, no credible accounts. Rumors persist, but no one has ever found it. And those who have dared to look have disappeared…
Level 7 [Omega Protocol] Second Edition is an updated and revised version of the original hit sci-fi miniatures game. Play as a team of highly trained commandos, sent to neutralize an alien threat held in Subterra Bravo, a secret government research facility now overrun with aliens.
Up to five players can take the role of commandos, while one player controls the alien creatures locked away in Subterra Bravo, and conflicts are resolved through dice rolls. However, the mechanic which sets Level 7 [Omega Protocol] apart from other miniature board games is the use of adrenaline.
Both commandos and creatures, alongside their health, have the ability to use adrenaline to perform special attacks or bolster their defence, however, careful management of adrenaline is necessary to ensure victory.
At the beginning of the game, a mission is selected, and players must fulfill the objectives of the mission to win the game, however, each mission has a Crisis Point which increases the difficulty of the objectives needed to complete the mission. There is also a nine-mission campaign mode available for more seasoned gamers.
Level 7 [Omega Protocol] has received rave reviews, so it's no surprise that the second edition has already exceeded its funding target. Furthermore, while there are no stretch goals or add-ons, there is a nice bonus content set for backers, plus the ability to buy the base game, expansion and bonus content in one pledge!
We weren't all smart enough to invest in this board game in its first edition (which are currently selling for around $300), but if you and your group of elite soldiers think you can take on the unearthly horde and win, you can take your pledge to serve and protect humanity and back the project here.

Can’t see any info on if the miniatures are going to be produced in a different material (the ones from the first edition had major issues with warping and bending). But good to see this coming back, but bad to see this is a KS exclusive (ie not available at retail). Could this be the new sales model for many Board games that are oop but still have high demand on the 2nd hand market? But other than that it IS a very good game (but never played the expansion) Edit Did see a mention of “harder plastic”, but no… Read more »
> Could this be the new sales model for many Board games that are oop but still have high demand on the 2nd hand market? High prices does not mean high demand. This is perfect for KS because they had no clue how many backers they would have. You can see from the Fully Loaded Pledge that there is not much demand. They already have the expansion. They have 2000 copies they have not been able to sell. If there were a lot of people looking for the game they would have sold out on that pledge but they have… Read more »
Is it really KS exclusive? I didn’t see anything about that on the page and it wouldn’t make sense to mark only the variant leader as KS exclusive if everthying is KS exlusive.
It looks good though the shipping costs for me could be more than the base game so I won’t back.
They just announced UK, EU, and Asia shipping costs will be adjusted down. More information later today or tomorrow.
That’s good and bad 😉 Because there is qite a number of interesting projects on KS at the moment an coming up so I thught I could at least rule that one out.
United Kingdom $29-33
Europe (EU Only) $30-35
That is for the All-In pledge
Shipping cost United Kingdom $35-40
LOL. I’m out.
Looks an sounds interesting.
I like this game a lot, but I haven’t been able to get many others to try it.
