Description from the publisher:
Sword & Sorcery is an epic-fantasy cooperative board game in which 1-5 players fight together against the forces of evil, which are controlled by the game system itself.
Each player controls one or more heroes – legendary characters brought back to life by powerful sorcery. Weakened by the resurrection, they grow stronger during their story-driven quests. By acquiring soul points during battles, the heroes’ souls regenerate, restoring their legendary status with multiple powers, magic and soul weapons, and powerful artifacts.
Designed by Gremlin Project (the same team who created Galaxy Defenders), the game system in Sword & Sorcery represents the perfect evolution of its forerunner. Gameplay is faster and dynamic, thanks to an innovative area movement and area control system, with new features never seen before in a game of this category.
Key features of Galaxy Defenders are also preserved in Sword & Sorcery, such as the advanced AI system for monsters, a high degree of character customization, and the multiple tactical options during battles. Sword & Sorcery packs, in a top-quality board game format, all the excitement of the best MMORPGs and action RPGs, to provide the ultimate heroic fantasy board game adventure.
This base game contains ACT I of III.

ideal for solo play with 2 characters :) small amount of story telling. unfortunately it's too easy, especially taking into account so many rules.. even on 6th quest from time to time I had to check some rules ;] still overall fun game but it's not must have.

I do not understand why this was held up as a great dungeon crawl. I felt like I had no real choices, you move forward and do whichever skill isn't on cooldown... Far too long for what it was, maybe I've been spoilt by Gloomhaven but this was so boring.

Good co-op game but heavy. Pros : - Theme / event/ story - Possibility of action (multiple possibility without beeing overwhelmed by the complexity) - Companion app to save party - IA of ennemys really interesting (feel like you figth a real thief, etc) Cons : - Need a organizer - 7 Quests (around 14-25 hours) - 50 rule pages (need a good game master who knows every point) - miss some visible information ( for exemple there is no token to remenber the number of action points, nothing to remenber you deal +1 dmg if you are *2 thant ennemys, etc ...)
