About the game

What you do in a play session

The Medic Character Pack brings a new hero to the claustrophobic and tense atmosphere of Nemesis. With a detailed mini‑figure, action cards, a hero board, and starting items, the Medic character offers a support role that can shift the survival dynamics in every session. Originally part of Kickstarter campaigns, it was released as a standalone add‑on during the Lockdown campaign, but can now be purchased separately by anyone who owns the base game. The expansion keeps the campaign and battle‑card mechanics, but adds a new layer of strategy: the medic can heal wounds, administer medication, and even use high‑tech gear to protect the crew. Action cards let players decide when and how to use limited resources, while the hero board provides a space to manage health, equipment, and abilities. The starting‑item set includes three objects that define each game’s starting point, and the trait card helps personalize the medic’s personality, influencing interactions with other characters. In terms of components, the mini‑figure is made of high‑quality plastic, and the cards feature artwork that fits the game’s dark aesthetic. Regarding gameplay, the Medic Character Pack deepens the cooperative narrative, as the medic must balance healing teammates with the need to survive hostile encounters. If you’ve felt limited by a lack of support options in Nemesis, this pack offers a way to save the crew—or, if misused, put everyone at risk. In short, the Medic Character Pack is a valuable addition for anyone who enjoys exploring new survival tactics and wants a character that can change the story of every mission.
