Product Description

Theme : In Descent: Journeys in the Dark players take on the role of dungeon crawling adventurers. Following in the footsteps of the revered 'Hero Quest' dungeon crawl game, Descent throws players into a modular dungeon, confronting Dragons, Giants, Demons and the Undead. From monsters to powerful magical weapons, the spoils of victory await. However, the Hheroes must be careful for Descent's Overlord is out to destroy them and take victory for himself.

Gameplay : Descent : Journey's in the Dark is a dungeon-crawl game using the Doom combat mechanics and movement system. Players take on the role of one of many adventurers, moving through a dungeon in search of treasure and fame. At the same time, one player takes on the role of the Overlord, intent on killing the characters to win the game himself.

Players are provided pre-created adventurers who come in three major classes - warriors, mages and rogues. Each character is also provided a special ability that will aid them in battle. The Overlord gains full control of all the monsters in the game as well as the ability to play traps and curses on the players at any time.

Each turn, players must move through the dungeon, searching for treasure and killing monsters. However, unlike other games, no experience is gained from killing the monsters - instead, heroes must seek to complete the Quest they are on with upgrades of their skills, equipment and armour coming from treasure chests and purchasing them from the town. The Overlord must, in turn, strive to kill the players sufficiently to deter them from completing the quest and thus win.

Descent : Journeys into the Dark is the benchmark game of dungeon crawls at the moment, with modular boards and multiple quests available in the game and for download.
