In a standalone prequel story set in Terrinoth, a company of adventurers searches dangerous dungeons amid a threat to the world. The campaign spans four themed chapters of self-contained missions.
Before each mission, choose four heroes from a roster of eight, then explore dungeon environments for treasure, skills, side events and puzzles. Missions lead into turn-based battles against enemies and bosses.
Combat rewards positioning, elevation, line of sight and timing, with hero abilities that can combine into Synergy attacks. Level heroes, select perks, equip and improve gear at the Forge, and play solo or online with friends who can join mid-dungeon.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its approachable turn-based battles, tactical team combinations and distinct hero abilities. Dungeon exploration, hidden finds and party-building between missions also appeal to some reviewers, as does the focused solo campaign. Recurring criticisms include repetitive fights with reinforcement waves, uneven enemy behavior or balance, and multiplayer desynchronization and other bugs; reports of the co-op experience vary.
The legendary board game series comes for the first time to PC!
