The story aspect is praised for its organized, varied quests with engaging role-playing elements and inventory management, enhancing cooperative play. However, users are frustrated by the absence of the original board game campaigns in the app and inconsistent difficulty, particularly due to harsh time limits that discourage exploration. Overall, the story is enjoyable but could benefit from including more official quests and balancing challenge levels.
“Very good and very organised quests and campaigns generally.”
“Automating the overlord, keeping track of your campaign's gold, experience, equipment, and even adding neat role-playing and story-driven encounters in the game world make this a must-have.”
“Now it's at least once a week, more if I feel an itch and want to play solo :D. The quests seem interesting and varied, I love the fact the app handles your inventory and skills, and I love the thrill when you open a new door in the dungeon, and end up staring into the maw of a shadow dragon XD. I can't wait for more!”
“I enjoy it so far but I am slightly confused on why the campaigns in the quest guides that come with the board game aren't featured in the app.”
“Exploration is discouraged because each quest is put on a time limit but at the same time if you don't explore the game punishes you by increasing the difficulty exponentially.”
“I wanted to use the app to play through the quests in the guide as co-op with my wife and learn to play the game, but instead we ended playing against each other as I have taken the role of overlord.”
