Pros
- Middara is another good one, although you each might have to 2 hand it
- Fun game, definitely a table hog, though. Has a large rulebook that needed to reference quite a bit until I got a handle on things. ... The encounters themselves are very enjoyable. I love the tactical options via skills, items, and acti...
- Quite good. Story is interesting, but there is WAY too much text so we’ve opted to read the online spark notes instead. Tactical positioning matters a lot and there is a decent amount of gaming the AI that occurs.
- The absolute highlight of the game is the character building/looting system. You have a tremendous amount of control over what your character can do and how it can play.
- It’s one of my favorite games of all time. I will say it is a very complicated game and a huge commitment but if you’re all right with that then it would be a great time
Cons
- I like the game and I appreciate the passion of the team and willingness to make corrections, but it’s really been a mess in a lot of ways.
- The v1.2 does come with its own inserts but theyre very barebones with little organisation.
- I didn’t care for it really, but if you have an actual gaming group you might have fun. Game was made with a lot of love but wasn’t up my alley. ... It’s heavier weight than I was expecting (I originally backed it on KS) and in my case...

Fun game, definitely a table hog, though. Has a large rulebook that needed to reference quite a bit until I got a handle on things. ... The encounters themselves are very enjoyable. I love the tactical options via skills, items, and action point system.
I didn’t care for it really, but if you have an actual gaming group you might have fun. Game was made with a lot of love but wasn’t up my alley. ... It’s heavier weight than I was expecting (I originally backed it on KS) and in my case anyways i had a lot of issues with the rulebook. ... Also finally the enemy ai was too fiddly for my taste.

What I did play of it had me very impressed. It's a dungeon crawler that gets almost everything right - the combat is tactical and interesting, the sense of exploration is great, enemies are varied and interesting, and there's crazy amounts of character build variety even this far into the campaign.
Loved it also. A lot of dice chucking. But there is a lot of mitigation. Tons of ways to make characters unique.
