Thank you for doing a review of just the base box .

This would've been a nice one for the 4-square.

I love this game and I love painting the amazing miniatures. They definitely improved from the first one. So glad I backed this one.

Great review, although for 1/4 of the video, it sounded like Tom was underwater with some mic/audio issues. Wasn’t expecting this game to be such a big hit. Very interesting. I am so oversubscribed for dungeon crawls but this is intriguing.

You guys should do a review/ preview for league of dungeoneers. Looks awesome and is due to be delivered soon.

Loved the value and the complete mini collection MD 1 & 2 provide. The game itself sounds fun, a big improvement, and I've got go to minis for every generic rules set or fantasy RPG.

[WeAreGamersYTube]

I'm surprised that CMON would make fragile minis given how that is their bread and butter. They know how to make good minis.

so funny watching this after his Dark Souls Board Game review.

Here's the things he hate in that game:
-rolling dice is a really old mechanics
-items are just higher attack dice
-node grids/tiles are boring
-monsters attack when you attack
-monsters have their own behavior -> it's so boring fighting the same monsters
-doesn't like the theme, want more typical fantasy

[boardsandstuff]

We get it, you don’t like the hellscape. But it works is fantastic. I’m a demon/ darkness fan so for me the theme and how demons and angels are in a way hostile because they are more concerned with their own war is super cool. It give the cosmic dread that I get with Lovecraft stories and inspired games. These two major forces are waging war and we are kind in the way.

Ouu im the 666th like? Im on a highway to hellscspe.

[SteveLEKORodrigue]

Tried it and was not impressed. Felt like the heroes becomes too powerful too quickly. And too much loot didn't felt this great, partially because the heroes are powerful. I never felt in danger when we managed the risk carefully: stakes were low. I would argue it's a good casual game: it's like a quick snack not a great meal.

I get why people love this game, but hardcore gamers or people that want to strategize will be disappointed imo.

I've now thrown Descent in the trash.
