What a mess. As generic a dungeon crawler as can be, including weirdly out-of-place pop culture references ("A tomb raider called Lara"), overcomplicated damage calculation), a ridiculous amount of randomness (encounter cards) and a dull campaign. But there are good sides: it looks rather pretty, the enemy "AI" well done and the weapons and spells feel powerful. There's just no reason for me to continue playing after a few runs. It's repetitive, overly generic and requires a lot of time for setup as well as "saving" (despite the app).

Clever system and autonomous game board and monster control make this game interesting to play. Miniature heavy, with great selection. Some of the in game mechanics however, while clever meant that playtime for this game is slow, with many effectively "upkeep" phases. Set up is also a chore and very time consuming. Felt that the action was not fast paced enough, as many rules need to be referred to in order to ensure that game is following through properly. Found some of the components and rules to be quite ambiguous, reinforced by the fact that the rulebook is written clumsily at points and layed out unhelpfully. A reference sheet of rules would be useful. Game is also massive when fully laid out and easily takes up a large table. meaning that it is unwieldy to keep out for multiple scenarios.

Good game, although very fiddly, campy with the humor, and there is an overload of treasure and magic items. Definitely entertaining, however. I obtained the game in December 2018, played all 7 scenarios over the month of January, then traded the game. No reason to replay anything, I got what I needed to get out of the game. Rumor has it that Ancient Chronicles, the new Kickstarted self contained S&S game has addressed some of the issues with the original game. Supposedly it is tougher and some complaints have been addressed. I hope so.
