Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)

Fantasy, dungeon crawl that scratches my D&D itch. Love the app.

Rating based on one play of introductory scenario and starting the next. 4 players seemed to mean a lot of down time

A dungeon crawl that looks amazing but the mechanics and rules get in the way of the game being fun. It took around a week of watching rules videos, reading the actual rules, and looking at posts on BGG to even know how to play. When I finally knew how to play the game fell flat and the flow of play was constantly interrupted by flipping through the rules to find one of the 900 exceptions in a badly laid out rule set. I am however still interested in trying this more in the future.

I've only ever played as the DM/Overlord and really enjoy that side since there is zero downtime. And my wife loves playing as the hero(s) so it works.

It's a dice roller, but enough strategy to work your brain and quick enough that you can get several games in during one sitting.

Was hyped to play it. Turns out it's not a dungeon crawl but a dungeon race. Instead of heroicly fighting monsters you're supposed to ignore them while they hit you and just run to square X in time.

The overlord doesn't send monsters to fight but to block the way for the heroes, so he can buy enough time to get to square Y.

Miserable line-of-sight rules.

Will try to get it played with house rules that heavily change (fix) the game.

Very fun once mechanics are learned. The app road to legend makes this game a must own. Setup and take down a bit of a task but that is what makes this game so unique.

Great advanture game, however it is a bit to heavy for my taste
