3/14/2023 0 Comments Descent legends of the dark art![]() Now as an aside, I do wish there were more dice, I like to combine dice and build a dice pool, adding to them as I get stronger. The excitement that builds as you approach an unknown section of the map is palpable because you never know what is coming next, there are no clues, the GM hasn’t prepared anything for you or given a hint. Moving behind a tree for example feels like you are actually hiding as the tree is there, for real, it’s not a flat tile that you can stand on.Īs you play each level the app will build a world for you to explore and reveal it to you as you move through each level fighting and looting. I do not know if it is the game design or the app inclusion but battles become small skirmishes more akin to Star Wars Imperial Assault as the terrain can help or hinder you in battle. The app doesn’t track character locations but it will tell you what the NPC characters want to do, who they want to attack and how far they move. ![]() The only problem with that is if it all goes wrong you can’t just blame Martin and move on. The app streamlines the Descent: Legends of the Dark and one could argue that playing alone is more fun now because you don’t need to have any discussion about what you should do next, do what you want every time. Fight an enemy, drag your character portrait onto the enemies and the fight will begin. Want to search that tree? It’s there, in the app, drag a character to it. The immersion is first-rate and when you couple it with an app that works as well as the game the whole experience makes you tingle with joy.įor example, to search a chest in the game, you drag your character in the app to the chest which is represented in the app by a chest. The map is slowly revealed and is 3D with terrain pieces that rise out from the map and bring the world to life. I mean it physically changes, you have a double-sided weapon card, which you can improve by crafting, you have a double-sided player sheet that flips meaning you lose or gain abilities. You roll dice for combat and defence as well as testing abilities and there the similarities end because everything changes. You have a character sheet, a weapon, armour, spells and items you can use around you and you can move, attack or search during your action phase. It’s very well done and I think Kara Centell-Dunk and Brandon Perdue, the designers, should be praised for the inclusion.ĭescent: Legends of the Dark plays in a similar way to the previous title. However, it’s no surprise in today’s world, people are far more inclusive, however, in my past experience, the addition of these storylines felt shoehorned in, here, the additions flow and feel a part of the story. Think, Twilight over Blade and this will sum up my feelings of the story and whilst we are in the world of fantasy some elements marry to the real world specifically around the hot topics of gender and disability which were not necessary for my opinion. ![]() Set in the same fantasy land of Terrinoth that Descent: Journeys in the Dark is set, the story is lighter in drama than I expected. The story is first-rate, and I am not going to spoil anything for you so I will talk in general terms as much as I can about it from here on out. The story of Descent: Legends of the Dark They aren’t that serious either Because I want to kiss and cuddle Descent: Legends of the Dark. It will need to be supported for many years and I would be very annoyed if FFG felt that there was a 5-10 year life cycle for the game. I will say before I move on from the negative that the games RRP is £174 however, you are more likely to have to spend between £120 to £130 on a new copy. Luckily it’s also available on PC which means that it will exist in some form, somewhere forever but how many IOS and Android updates will be supported is anyone’s guess. I know some have decried app-driven games and I suppose that some part of me worries about a future where, the money men probably, decide to no longer support Descent: Legends of the Dark and remove the app from IOS and Android. The app is another thing that splits the community. Thinking about it now has made sick come up into my mouth and I have shouted: “Descent: Legends of the Dark needs more paint” at my family for no reason. The cartoonishness of it jars with the game. Many, people do not like it, I am one of them, I think it looks like it’s been stretched, long and gangly, it makes the characters look sickly. Now, the art style has been rather polarizing in the gaming community at large.
