The six Descent Legend of the Dark characters.ĭescent: Legends of the Dark Act 1 from Fantasy Flight Games is a board game that uses an app to create a roleplaying experience that's essentially an RPG with a digital games master. 'Let's not keep them waiting.' And with that, our Descent: Legends of the Dark journey begins. The berzerkers begin running towards them, their screaming and chanting picking up with their steps. Galaden stepping into position beside them, slings their bow and draws a pair of swords, the change of weapon easing tired muscles. The top of Syrus' staff ignites, and Vaerix lowers their staff into a fighting stance. 'Once more my friends?' and she nods towards the berzerkers who are riling themselves for a charge. Syrus and Vaerix take up positions on either side of Brynn, and their presence lifts her. Brynn steps towards them and Galaden notices a drop in her usual grim determination, the battle with the Fae had taken a lot, from all of them. Because of these various differences, Descent: Legends of the Dark is not compatible with Descent: Journeys in the Dark and its expansions.The Uthuk berzerkers circled, Galaden's arrows failing to keep them at range. You'll also uncover a wealth of activity between scenarios, such as crafting, shopping in the city, upgrading equipment, and more. The app also brings new changes to gameplay, introducing enemies with adaptable strategies, complex status effects, and triggers fully managed by the app, and the ability to develop your heroes based on the choices you make in scenarios. Skill cards can also be readied, switching between two complementary abilities. Every hero also has an attack card and skill cards! Each hero starts the game with two weapon cards, which are sleeved together back-to-back to create a single attack card. Your hero sheet isn't the only thing you can ready. You can also use your action to perform one of the most crucial actions in Legends of the Dark: the ready action, which lets you flip your hero sheet or one of your cards to its opposite side, unlocking new abilities! 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, or you may use the explore action to interact with a piece of 3D terrain or a token by using the app.

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 can reposition to put yourself in a more advantageous position for attack. You take three actions each turn: one maneuver action and two additional actions of your choice. With 46 pieces of 3D terrain and forty hero and monster miniatures to draw you into the game, your greatest adventure is yet before you! Your objectives will change from quest to quest as you follow the overarching story of the campaign.Ĭore gameplay mechanisms such as combat, fatigue, skills, items, and more have received completely new interpretations with Legends of the Dark, while a new approach to scenario layout and 3D terrain creates striking multi-level scenarios. Throughout your campaign, you'll face undead lurking in the mists, demonic barbarians stalking the wilds, and even more terrifying threats. Together with your unlikely companions, you'll begin an unexpected adventure - an adventure told across the sixteen quests of the 'Blood and Flame' campaign.
