Descent differs from other games in the genre in that the Overlord player's goal is to win by exhausting the other players of victory points, rather than merely to facilitate play. One player takes the role of the Overlord, who controls the enemies and plays cards to hinder the hero players. In Descent, players take the roles of adventurers who delve into underground complexes in search of treasure (the so-called " dungeon crawl"). The game is based on an improved version of the mechanics of FFG's licensed Doom: The Boardgame. Descent was designed and produced by Kevin Wilson. You can find out more details on the gameplay on Fantasy Flight Game’s website.Jesper Ejsing, John Goodenough, Frank Wallsĭescent: Journeys in the Dark is a two to five player high fantasy dungeon crawl published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2005. So this bodes well for the quality of Legends of the Dark.ĭescent: Legends of the Dark, planned for the second quarter of 2021. While I found the original Descent app to somewhat lackluster, both Mansions of Madness and Lord of the Rings were excellent. In my opinion, FFG has greatly improved the quality of its app integrated games since the early offerings. The game “is built on a fully integrated companion app, which governs everything from activating enemies, to building an unfolding scenario, to opening the door for activities like crafting and shopping between quests.”

The game follows in the footsteps of other FFG games, such as Mansions of Madness or Lord of the Rings: Journeys into Middle Earth, by being full app driven. But art is subjective, so your mileage may vary here. The helmet along on Brynn feels ridiculous. Personally, I’m not a fan of it and much preferred the previous style. This version features new art-much different than previous descent games-which definitely has a unique style to it. You can also use your action to perform one of the most crucial actions in Legends of the Dark: the ready action.” Or, you may use the explore action to interact with a piece of 3D terrain or a token by using the app.
Other than maneuvering, you can use an action to attack an enemy, rolling your attack dice and drawing upon your hero’s abilities and weapons to deal maximum damage or inflict harmful conditions on your foes.
“You’ll take three actions on every turn-one maneuver action and two additional actions of your choice! Maneuvering gives you movement points, as shown in the upper right corner of the character sheet, and since you always have a maneuver action, you’ll always be able to reposition and put yourself in a more advantageous position for attack. 6 of the miniatures will be heroes for the players to control, while the other 34 are broken up into 11 different monster types (of which one seems to be a large boss type).įantasy Flight Games describes the gameplay in this new version as fast and intuitive:
This box will include 40 miniatures and 40+ pieces of 3d terrain (made out of punchboard) that the heroes will be interacting with during their quests. This first campaign is titled Blood and Flame, with Act 2 and Act 3 releasing in a similar-sized box sometime in the future for an undisclosed price. This first box, clocking in with a shocking $175 MRSP, and will feature 16 missions for heroes to embark upon throughout the world of Terrinoth. This is a brand new dungeon crawler, that may share a theme and some mechanics with its predecessor but is a wholly new experience.ĭescent: Legends of the Dark will be an app-driven, cooperative campaign-style game. This is the same one that was teased at the very end of their In-Flight Report during Gen Con Online this summer.ĭescent: Legends of the Dark is not the third edition of Descent: Journeys in the Dark, or even compatible with the existing version. Yesterday during Essen Digital, Fantasy Flight Games finally announced the long-rumored new Descent board game.
