This is an awesome set that changes the game up from the initial core set. Unfortunately my thief came broken but from other sets this would have been a duplicate so I was not too broken up about it.
Great quality game. I have been a fan of the Dark souls series for a long time. This covers a lot of the core gameplay concepts: once you know how the enemies work, its not so hard, resource and stamina management are key, and of course, Jolly cooperation wins the day!
Great game plays well. Poor misprints and Nito miniature came broken but I glued i
Bought Darksouls Way Back in 2016 as i didn’t really have a group of friends that we’re all that interested in board games, learnt how to play it within a few play throughs. went out made a group of freinds to play with.
the game play is great but rather frustrating when you’re always dying but thats kind of the point when it comes to the dark souls series board game or not, so it’s right up any dark souls fans alley.
the Minitures are of amazing quality and i’d really love to get round to painting them as i’ve seen how amazing they look with the right colour scheme, but the detail is out of this world especially on the larger titanite demon figure.
overall i give it 5/5, if you’re willing to put in the time for the set up and learning the Rules for the game you’ll have many years of fun with the crazy replayability factor this game offers
Dopo alcuni anni, ho deciso di lasciare una recensione positiva sul prodotto. Il gioco divertente, soprattutto se giocato in compagnia (c’ anche la possibilit di giocarlo da solo). molto variegato e a livello di impatto, ricorda molto il videogioco dark souls da cui ispirato. Sono presenti diversi riferimenti ad esso, come nemici boss armi e addirittura meccaniche. Consiglio di comprarlo per gli appassionati del genere. Il prezzo del prodotto secondo me un po’ alto, ma nel complesso ne pu valere la pena!
Forse l’unico difetto che, se vuoi fare una partita completa (parlo della modalit storia), hai bisogno di scegliere di giocarla tutta di fila (impiegando diverse ore) oppure di fare qualche pausa, ma potresti dover liberare il tavolo da gioco, riponendo tantissimi pezzi nella confezione e rendendo un po’ difficoltoso ricordarsi dove ci si trovava e con quali equipaggiamenti. Ciao!
The package was a little damaged, just a little damaged corner. The contents were all pristine condition. Highly recommend.
Once you eventually learn how the game works, it’s grand. The models are nice to look at, board is wonderfully built, and the variation to gameplay is almost endless. Only issue I have with it is the set up time and learning process. Each set up will take around 15/20 minutes even if you’ve already preshuffled the decks, and game time lasts between 2/4 hours, least it did with my mate / partner.
Overall though if you have that time spare, fantastic game!
What a fantastic boads game. The miniatures are detailed, game tiles are huge and the rules are actually decently written. If you’re not used to tabletop games, there are YT videos that can better summarize how to play.
A lot of negative reviews seem to complain that this board game is “grindy”, but its obvious they haven’t played the video game.
There are some great house rules you can implement too. I don’t use the “if one dies you all respawn” rule as well as separating the upgrade deck into they’re corresponding types.
The game is great, it’s hard, it’s grindy, but it’s fun. Just like the video game.
Really good quality, hours of fun, tons of replay options
Systme bien ficel de comportements des ennemis permettant aussi bien le jeu solo qu’en coopratif.
Le principe de Rogue Lite a lui aussi t respect, o notre personnage va devoir mourir pour pouvoir remporter le combat final ( savoir progresser, mourir et conserver ses “gains” et recommencer pour amliorer son personnage suffisamment pour dzinguer le big boss de la campagne. Ce principe peut rebuter certains joueurs car cela demande plus de temps de jeu et surtout une rptition des combats dans les diffrentes salles traverses, mais cela a le mrite d’tre un des points phare du jeu vido ponyme.
En bref, Dark Souls donne un vrai challenge au(x) joueur(s) et la qualit du matriel donne vraiment envie d’y retourner (note : les figurines plastiques mritent d’tre peintes, rien qu’une sous-couche basique leur rend nettement plus honneur).
Une trs bonne surprise en ce qui me concerne.
*The game came in impeccable condition, everything packaged nice and tight. Minis are gorgeous, (plan to paint them some time soon).
*I played the game with a couple of friends, had a 2 player and a 3 player session. My takes are the following:
This is definitely NOT for everyone, I can entirely understand the negative reviews around the internet. The game is quite repetitive and grindy. HOWEVER. We had an absolute BLAST (especially in the 3 player game). The advancing, the pacing, the encounters (even though repetitive) are a challenge every time. You have to strategize and play around and even though the encounters are kind of same-y they can feel different every time. Boss (and mini boss) fights are awesome and really convey the feel from the video game. In a fight against the Dancer, even though she was basically (sorry the pun) dancing around, not really dealing any damage, it really keeps you on edge, wondering what’s gonna come next, because sadly we couldn’t memorize her moves for the life of it.
I think that there is a TON of replayability to this, even with the repetitiveness.
(found an app that generates random dungeons if you run out of ideas for campaigns or whatever, that includes whatever expansions you’ve got, and even has enemy and boss scaling and some quest features, so with that we are probably looking at months of weekly sessions..)
Definitely going to get some expansions for this though for more variety and challenge.
In the words of Yahtzee Croshaw: “The fans will like it!” and I (as a fan) totally agree.
side note:
The play time on the box is an ABSOLUTE LIE, as it takes way more than the suggested 90-120 minutes.
first 3 player run took us about 3.5 hours of net gameplay to finish, so keep that in mind.
Son muchas piezas y todas son de una calidad para aplaudir ( las cartas, el cartn y las piezas de plstico son una chulada).
Juego : es un juego complejo que requiere unas horas para entenderlo.
Viene en ingls, y creo que con un nivel B1 la arman. Si no entienden nada pueden buscar tutoriales en Youtube (en espaol)
Y bueno, nada que no se resuelva con el traductor.
Su jugabilidad puede llegar a ser repetitiva,trataron de implementar el mismo sistema del videojuego al juego de mesa ( morir como idiota y repetir una y otra vez los mismos escenarios, matando a los mismos enemigos para obtener ms almas), aqui no funciona eso, pues no estas interactuando con una inteligencia artificial.
S, se puede volver tedioso y aburrido, PERO, en Internet hay unas reglas caseras que ( tengo entendido) el juego termin acomodando en sus reglas originales.
Nada como buscarlas y usarlas.
Adems puedes modificar una que otra regla para hacerlo ms dinmico, vaya, que esto no es una excusa para no comprarlo.
Conclusin : Si bien puede marear un poco la cantidad de detalles complejos que trae el juego, una vez que te familiariza con l, se vuelve increble debido a esa cantidad de detalles que tiene.
Comprenlo, vale la pena.
Very nice implementation of the Dark Souls franchise to board game.
Set up requires a lot of space.
A game session would typically take longer than advertised.
Boss fights are very well implemented.
Replayability is high. Each playthrough is unique due to the amount of items and scenarios you can pick/face.
Item arrived 1 day late and 1 figurine
Winged knight was broken thankfully I had glue to repair it but overall a good game fun for fans of the series and board game fans worth the money expansions maybe soo
Si como yo eres un amante de la saga dark souls, este juego te va a encantar. Las mecnicas en s evocan un poco al juego original pero tienen un gran componente de mazmorreo, es entretenido de jugar incluso para 1 sla persona, en mi caso el principal inters residia en las miniaturas, ya que tena intencin de pintarlas,tienen una calidad bastante buena, aunque hay que trabajarlas pues traen bastante marcas de molde.
Took a while to read the rules at first but a really good game and collectors piece. The figurines are great and give you the option to paint or leave as they are. I would recommend to any dark souls fan.
Das Hauptspiel besitzt einen hohen Wiederholungsfaktor aufgrund der vielen Mini- und Hauptbosse. Durch die Erweiterungen kommen noch strkere Bosse als wie im Hauptspiel hinzu, welche nach dem bezwingen der anderen 2 Bosse (1 Mini-Boss und 1 Haupt-Boss) bezwungen werden knnen. Im schnitt werden 30-45 Euro auf Internetseiten fr die Erweiterungen verlangt, jedoch lohnen sich diese nur, wenn man das Spiel erst des fteren gespielt hat und wei ob sich die Investition lohnt. Fr mich ein klares Ja
Aber aufgepasst: Das Spiel ist schwer. Manchmal etwas zu schwer, aber das ist man ja von den PC-Spielen gewohnt. Und das Regelwerk ist eventuell etwas unbersichtlich, wenn man komplett neu in das Spiel hineinsteigt. Aber dazu gibt es viele Videos auf YouTube, welche das Regelwerk Schritt fr Schritt erklren.
Die Karten haben das normale Kartenma wie zum Beispiel Yu-Gi-Oh. So knnen Kartenhllen fr diese Gre bestellt werden.
Fr Miniaturfans sind die Figuren gut designed und leicht bemalbar. Der Preis ist hier auf Amazon jedoch teilweise viel zu hoch angesetzt. Man findet die Produkte auf anderen Internetseiten um einiges gnstiger.
Zusammengefasst: 10/10 Spielspa 7/10 Preis auf Amazon.
The quality of the boards, tokens, models and cards is supberb. The game is great fun either alone or with friends, however the game time shown is greatly understated, games sometimes go for 6 hours. I would recommend getting some house rules in place especially when it comes to aquiring souls as it can be pretty brutal.
It’s a large investment but a lot of fun and I definitely feel the price point is worth it.
Fantastic! Amazing board game as difficult as the video game!
Lots of detail on the pieces and the boards.
Captures the feeling of the games well with a deceptively simple combat system that favours strategy, patience and memorising enemy attacks.
Volevo prenderlo in italiano ma non era mai disponibile, ho ripiegato su questo, in inglese.
Purtroppo per me il pacco ha avuto un viaggio difficile, visto che arrivato con un angolo dello scatolo imploso verso l’interno, si piegata una confezione di cartone ed una miniatura arrivata danneggiata, col manico del martello di smough a spasso nella confezione.
Dunque, la prima volta che mi trovo davanti miniature di giochi da tavolo, non ho paragoni con altre, ma quelle di questo gioco hanno dei dettagli molto ricchi e visibili, anche il resto dei contenuti di ottima fattura (dadi, carte e plance di gioco), giustificando il prezzo abbastanza elevato.
Come scritto da molti un po’ ovunque sul web, il manuale un casino, contiene tutto, ma un po’ confuso, in una pagina ho trovato reindirizzamenti a 3 pagine diverse in 4 righe per spiegare un solo concetto del gioco.
Passando al gioco in s, lo si pu comprendere senza particolari difficolt giocando, e si percepisce il fatto che sia molto simile alla controparte videoludica, basta un errore per finire nei guai. Una singola sessione, composta da miniboss e boss lunga non meno di un paio d’ore pur avendo fortuna nel cammino, mentre le due campagne base scritte nel manuale possono durare anche 4-5 ore; ho trovato sul web delle house rule che secondo me hanno senso esser utilizzate per eliminare la parte del grinding nel caso non si peschino equipaggiamenti sufficienti per proseguire il cammino, e di conseguenza ridurre un po’ il tempo di una partita. Ho giocato con i 4 personaggi circa una dozzina di partite, tra cui le due campagne, e pur giocando da solo mi sono divertito; tra vari impegni mi riesce difficile organizzare una partita con degli amici, dovendo far coincidere il tempo libero, ho avuto modo di fare solo un miniboss con un amico, stato pi difficile che da solo, poich cambiano notevolmente le strategie da attuare per restare in partita.
Un paio di piccoli difetti: la mancanza della meccanica del vacillamento, o stagger in inglese, di cui ci sono i segnalini, ma nessun equipaggiamento n un nemico lo provoca nel gioco base, bisogna aspettare almeno l’espansione darkroot che dovrebbe uscire all’inizio d’agosto.
La limitata disponibilit di miracoli, 6 di cui solo 3 nel mazzo tesoro comune, stregonerie, 3 e 2 sole piromanzie; penso che 4 ciascuno nel tesoro comune poteva rendere pi varia la situazione.
Al momento non lo giocher ancora da solo, poich dopo la dozzina di partite fatte ho provato pi o meno tutto. Aspetto di riuscire ad organizzare con amici, e soprattutto aspetto le espansioni che aggiungono variet, alcune dovrebbero iniziare ad essere disponibili da agosto in poi. A tal riguardo, chi pu utilizzare una stampante 3D, pu andare sul sito della steamforged e scaricare il pdf con i modelli gratuiti di alcune parti di espansione, come un nuovo personaggio giocante, un nuovo miniboss ed un nuovo boss.
P.S.: quando si tolgono le miniature dal loro alloggiamento, consiglio di non prenderle solo dalla base, sono delicate e purtroppo alcune delle mie si sono leggermente piegate, inoltre le miniature stesse possono essere riposte senza incastrarle, tanto il pacchetto si richiude.
Fantastic modles!
Box is a little small for everything but apart from that, a fantastic game!
quiet simply the best board game i’ve ever owned, complex at first appearance but once youve died a few times and read the somewhat disjointed guide you’ll find that you only die sometimes, instead of all the time.
Fun game models are amazing . Game is easy to understand tho box can brake easy as it is a heavy game .game is well made plenty of choice and options classes . Knight . Herald . Assasin and warrior . The picture at top looks nothing like real boredgame
