    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay in this PC edition features a campaign mode that allows for character optimization through unlockable shop cards, providing players with a sense of agency, though it may lack replayability due to fixed dungeon seeds. Players who appreciate the original board game experience may prefer to switch modes, while some critics emphasize the importance of addressing gameplay flaws in digital adaptations.

    • “This PC edition comes with a campaign mode that allows you to completely optimize your character to win. The dungeons have the same seed, and there's a mechanic that lets you fully deck out your character with unlockable shop cards. This smartly caters to players who want more agency, though this mode may be less replayable due to the dungeons having the same seeds. That's when you'd likely transfer to the original mode of the game that perfectly recreates the board game experience.”
    • “The gameplay experience is engaging and offers a variety of mechanics that keep players invested. The balance between strategy and chance adds depth, making each session feel unique.”

However, this mode of play will be less replayable due to the dungeons having the same seeds. That's when I'd assume you'd transfer to the original mode of the game that perfectly recreates the board game experience.”
    • “You can't call yourself an aficionado of said hobby if you aren't a pedantic, truculent being, denigrating every single gameplay flaw and/or disservice to the art style whenever these papery time-killers get transposed into the digital world.”
    • “For now, the important thing is to weed out the nasty ones, those that hinder gameplay.”
