![]() ![]() The reveal teaser for Descent Act II: The Betrayer’s War ![]() "Descent Act II builds on the core mechanics of the original so players can easily transition from one to the other.” ![]() ![]() "This new instalment is a natural evolution, introducing new mechanics and levelling up heroes for the next threat," said lead designer Philip D. Legends of the Dark's upcoming expansion-slash-sequel Descent Act II: The Betrayer’s War will continue where the self-christened Act I left off, bringing along new miniatures and abilities (on new physical hero cards) for its six playable heroes, as well as introducing new enemies, quests and gameplay elements across a new campaign. "It may be refinement over revolution of one of the hobby’s most tried-and-tested formulas - fantasy adventurers crawling through a dungeon - but the refinement here is almost second to none." "At its best, it feels like board gaming’s answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - a big, flashy crowdpleaser that knows exactly how big, flashy and crowdpleasing it is," I wrote in our Legends of the Dark review. The enormous Kallax-filling box also came with a not-insignificant price tag of $175/£175. In addition to the mandatory companion app required to play through its 35-hour-plus campaign, the game included a mound of 3D cardboard terrain and miniatures, encased in a cube-shaped box the size of a footstool. Released in late 2021 after almost a decade in the works, Descent: Legends of the Dark is an ambitious app-powered reboot of popular dungeon-crawler Descent: Journeys in the Dark. The first expansion for fantasy adventure board game Descent: Legends of the Dark will release this autumn and cost almost as much as the original game - which you’ll also need to play. ![]()
