![]() Rather than being a standalone game, The Betrayer’s War will require a copy of Legends of the Dark to play. (Dicebreaker has contacted Fantasy Flight for more information.) The studio didn’t confirm how many missions the new campaign will span or how long it expects players to take to complete the sequel in comparison to Act I. Publisher Fantasy Flight Games teased details of the game’s campaign by revealing that the players’ party of characters would form an unlikely alliance with former undead-commanding villain Waiqar the Betrayer as they face the dragon armies of Dragonlord Levirax and the demonic forces of the Uthuk Y'llan across the series’ fantasy world of Terrinoth. Like Legends of the Dark, The Betrayer’s War with be playable with up to four people or in a solo mode, with the game’s companion app on PC or mobile controlling enemies, tracking story progression, handling aspects such as item crafting, and throwing up events both during scenarios and in-between missions. 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.
