I played the boardgame for hundreds of hours before getting the digital version, so my biggest concern was if this could lure me into replaying the boardgame campaign another time. it did by adding a whole new game mode and smaller optimizations such as reworked balancing.
   
   I've not encountered the omnipresent bugs mentioned in other reviews here, so I assume they have been patched in the meantime.… Expand

It is really fun to explore with friends. There are really fun puzzles to solve as not all scenarios are designed to just kill all ennemies. It feels really rewarding when you succeed a challenging scenario. I also fin it great that it is faster to setup a scenario, when compared to the board game. You can really just jump in the game very fast, on PC.
   
   The game still has a few bugs tho. I still give it 10/10 since it saves every round. When it softlocks, you can really easily return to where you were. I believe in the team and they will solve the few bugs really soon.… Expand

   It feels like the real game and much cheaper but there is just something about the board game that feels better.

While it’s not without the occasional bug, the dev team has been great about clearing these quickly. I’d highly recommend this game to any fans of strategy and legacy board games. Well worth the price of admission!… Expand

   Keep in mind that is a simulation of a board-game...so it isn't like a deep massive strategic videogame for pc.
   It's a good substitute if you can't play the tabletop version of if you want to learn some of the rules of the game.
   Nice deal if you want to try a cheaper version before buiyng the tabletop game.
   it could cost a little less maybe ...and needs some patches to correct some issues ....and it's missing other player interaction....but still a good product… Expand

   Pros:
   - lots of strategic depth
   - decent objective variety, several fairly different bossfights
   - 12 very different and deep classes to play
   - a lot of content to play. There is a lot of these turned-based-deck-based-like strategy games mowadays with decent ideas, but most of them run out of interesting possibilities in 20-30 hours for me (eg. slay the spire, coordian quest, tainted grail). This game is much more in the 100+ hour league.
   
   Cons:
   - The narrator of the story is so **** bad and annoying I muted after the first hour.
   - The "choice" system between destinations is a bad joke and would be better to completely left out. Feels random, casuless, and meaningless.
   - there are some elements of the game that is borderline needlessly complex. I am the kind of person who is really into that **** so I put up with most of them after a while, but my bet is that most players would probably find them annoying or maybe unbearable.
   - First and foremost the looting system. You don't get the gold drop by default rather you have to end your turns on the hex where the gold is (every single enemy drops it so that means a lot of playing around with this if you want to get any money). You also have special cards that can collect loot from a bit larger range, so all in all this kindof adds a new layer to things, either you sacrifice some battle cards in order to bring more of these utilities, but still feels kindof a drag.
   
   Summary:
   All in all I liked the game very much. After a couple of hours of Guildmaster mode I played through the campaign on the hardest difficulty. (I used the restart round option a lot to see enemy intent). I was about to give the game an 8, but after writing the review I came to the conclusion that it would be anfair with the truley shining pieces of the genre (XCOM, Divinity 2, Darkest Dungeon). But it is an enjoyable game, and I would recommend it if the pros and cons I wrote feels like a good trade for you.… Expand

At launch, it had a HUGE number of multiplayer / co-op issues, and a couple weeks later, there are quite a few bugs and issues with the scenarios later in the campaign. This game has a lot of potential, but the devs really need to fix the bugs, and fix the game as it is not in a great place right now.… Expand
