Description

An adventure fantasy game where players delve into underground catacombs to battle treacherous monsters. One player takes on the role of the Overlord (a dungeon master of sorts) to run the game, while the others fight monsters and collect loot. The game is set in the world of Terrinoth, the same setting as games like Runebound or Runewars.

This isn't just a reprint; Fantasy Flight Games has completely overhauled the system. Compared to the original version, this edition features:

  • Simpler line-of-sight rules
  • Faster adventure setup
  • A new defense die
  • Shorter adventures with multiple points of interest
  • Reference cards
  • A new mechanism for the Overlord
  • Improved hero selection and customization
  • An experience system for leveling up heroes
  • A campaign system

The box contains a massive amount of components (over 200 cards, 50 map tiles, tokens, and 39 plastic miniatures). A Czech translation is available.

The game production is perfect. Beautiful card art and really nice miniatures. The game itself is quite simple, except for a few rules that aren't entirely intuitive, but you'll learn them as you play. I like the character leveling and the campaign mode. Playing just a single scenario is pretty boring, though. If you like fantasy and the game caught your eye, I definitely recommend giving it a try. If you prefer sci-fi (specifically Star Wars), you're better off checking out Imperial Assault, which is a much more modern and improved version of this game.

Zpracování hry je perfektní. Nádherná grafika kartiček a moc hezké figurky. Hra jako taková je vcelku jednoduchá až na pár ne úplně intuitivně zpracovaných pravidel, ale hraním se to člověk naučí. Líbí se mi levelování postav a hraní kampaně. Zvlášť hraní jen jednoho scénáře je docela nuda. Pokud se vám líbí fantasy a zaujala vás hra, tak rozhodně doporučuju vykoušet. Pokud máte rádi sci-fi (specificky Star Wars), tak se raději koukněte na Imperial Assault, což je pravidlově mnohem modernější a vylepšená verze této hry.

The game is excellent, but I'd like to point out that the link you have for the Czech translation points to the wrong version of the game, as the FIRST and SECOND editions are quite different.

You can find the translation for the SECOND edition here:

Hra je to vyborna, len by som chcel poukazat ze link co mate na cestinu je na zlu verziu hry, pretoze PRVA a DRUHA edicia hry su dost odlisne.

Preklad na DRUHU ediciu najdete tu :

This is a classic dungeon crawler. Like most FFG games, it features a ton of high-quality components (especially the miniatures) and well-crafted rules. Descent is perfectly tailored for shorter gaming sessions, and you can easily finish a map in 40 minutes, but a huge part of the game's charm lies in the campaign, which takes about 10 sessions to complete.

There is a massive online community around the game, so you can download plenty of new missions, house rules, and extra content. I highly recommend it for tight-knit groups of fantasy lovers. For casual play, you can buy a cooperative mode without an Overlord, which significantly speeds up the game. You can even find 1v1 skirmish rules for two armies online, which gives the game a whole new dimension.

Jedná se o klasický dungeon crawling. Jako většina her od FFG má hromadu kvalitních komponent (zejména figurky) a dobře zpracované pravidla. Descent je přímo uzpůsoben pro kratší herní seance a mapa se dá odehrát za 40 minut bez problému, ale velká část kouzla hry tkví v kampani, která vyžaduje +- 10 her.

Kolem hry je velká internetová komunita, proto ůze stáhnout mnoho nových misí, upravených pravidel a extra materiálu. Uzavřenějším skupinám milovníků fantasy tedy vřele doporučuju. Pro nějaké sváteční hrání lze zakoupit kooperativní mód bez Overlorda, který hru výrazně urychlí. A dokonce lze na internetu objevit i 1v1 skirmish dvou armád, kdy hra dostává zcela jiný rozměr.
