If you are interested in knowing a whole lot more, watch the second video, if you want to read my recap and have a trailer, watch the first video and then read my recap, it won’t cover everything, but I am going to talk about some highlights.įirst off, highlight wise, this is an app assisted game along the lines of Mansions of Madness or Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth. So there is now a whole lot more known about the game, in fact, there is a ton more known about the game. So why am I talking about this now, well, because of these two things.įantasy Flight had a big kind of trailer kickoff and announcement for the game. This is fully cooperative because of the app, and while Descent 2nd Edition had an app that gave it a cooperative campaign, that was not how it had been built to play. One person played as the “overlord” who ran all of the bad guys in the scenarios against the players. In Descent 2nd Edition, that game was a one versus all game. The app integration was also interesting as well as the game play and the cooperative nature. That is fairly rare for them, so to have them go back into the world of Terrinoth, super fantasy name activate, was a lot of fun and interesting to see that they are keeping up some of their own lines. There are a number of things really that got me interested, the IP is interesting in that Fantasy Flight is making a non-Marvel/Star Wars/Game of Thrones/Lord of the Rings game, and making one that is based off of their own properties that isn’t Arkham Horror. I haven’t played Descent 2nd Edition, though I did get it so I could paint the minis and play eventually, and I don’t have a strong connection to the game, so why am I writing about this one? Descent: Legends of the Dark is different. The ones that I can think of that I’ve written about before they came out have been Pandemic Legacy Season 2 and Frosthaven, two games based off of or similar to games in my Top 10 games of all time, Pandemic Legacy Season 1 and Gloomhaven, so that made sense that I’d be really excited for them.

As a “good” board gamer, I get excited about new games all the time, there are always new games that come out and while I’m excited about them, I generally don’t write about them, unless it’s a Kickstarter Back or Brick article, or maybe something gets mentioned in Point or Order.
