    Masterful production quality. Luckluster and disappointing gameplay.
    I'm a Fantasy Flight Games fanboy in general, and the anticipation to actually play was killing me as I went through unboxing and setup and tinkered round with the initial screens of the app. The production is masterful: the 3D cardboard terrain is neat (something I wish modern kickstarter titles would implement as an option vs. pricey resin terrain) the miniatures are detailed and feel high quality, and the app is well polished, implementing ways of accessing and displaying information (such as enemy status and abilities) that kickstarter titles even today can still learn from.But MAN is the game lackluster. Descent: Legends of the Dark doesn't stand up to the modern mammoths of Epic Campaign style games such as Middara and Oathsworn, sure, but that's not even the real crime here. Descent: Legends falls flat against the precedence set by *other* excellent FFG titles that have come before it and that continue to get support.Let's start with its own predecessor: Descent: Journeys in the Dark, which functions well as a light campaign game with some puzzly scenarios. Balance falls off pretty badly at some point between overlord vs. players, but it's a solid intro to campaign games. My little brothers and I still re-tell stories about Albright hoofing objectives through a waterfall, practically bleeding out of his lungs to escape a band of goblins the rest of us had fallen to, clutching the scenario against all odds.If anything, my expectations were largely driven by Arkham Horror The Card Game which is amazing overall as a long campaign game in terms of mechanics, pacing, and narrative integration. The enemy and encounter phases between player turns are ominous and challenging, the writing is superb and the choices you make in and out of gameplay feel impactful for the overall story as it unfolds, and character progression is mechanically compelling and robust without feeling overly complex. Were none of the guys on this series consulted for Legends?Mansions of Madness, another FFG title this time sporting app integration with the physical board game, is well implemented as a romp through a B-movie horror setting. My take is the ONLY way to improve it is to have an overarching campaign.By that token, Mansions and Lord of the Rings: Journeys In Middle Earth actually strike this really good balance of app integration vs. still feeling like a true physical tabletop game.So I'm just shocked there is little evidence for either of those titles acting as even a baseline reference for Descent: Legends, which derails the balance between app vs. physical, making the excellent quality cardboard and miniatures feel superfluous to just using the app.Part of it is the lack of pacing and urgency. You're given all the time in the world to position and ambush enemies, and when the game *does* try to surprise you with enemies or traps popping out of the shadows or something when the app tells you they do, it feels arbitrary and, worse still, annoying, because the consequences usually end up with your party barely inconvenienced. When we cleared the first map, we had infinite time to wander around and farm materials, including clicking this tree over and over to stockpile crafting materials. There's a right and wrong way to make players feel powerful and that they have agency, and Legends definitely does it the wrong way.Look, I'm gonna stop here, because I think a fair way to describe the game boils down to this:If this is your first campaign game ever, or maybe within the first five board games you've ever purchased, there's enough sparkly production here backed by "good enough" writing and gameplay that you're almost sure to like it, if not love it.That said, the 3-star score is a bit generous. It'll score that high or a bit more for anyone newer to board games, I'm sure. But more experienced players will find the pacing, challenge, and overall engagement to make meaningful decisions severely lacking. There's a difference between good looking games and great gameplay, and it takes some experience to make that distinction.
