great mashup of roguelike and board game, needs tweaking – Ancient Legacy Review
There is a great idea for a game here. It is essentially a board game with RPG mechanics. The "roguelike" element comes from a number of random events and monsters that may overwhelm new characters.
However, as other reviewers have noted, there is a balance issue here. Most of my characters dies within 3 go-arounds of the first board. A mechanic that provides some additional help when the PC is suffering would really make the more enjoyable.
Still, the game is enjoyable, if a little exasperating. I bought the expansion that includes the other classes, which helped. Love to see another release date of this title.
