  1. I’ve been intrigued by this game, so thanks for the review. Any sense of replay value? Once you finish each chapter, would it ever be worth going through again later, or are you stuck buying new expansions all the time to provide future enjoyment? It is not an inexpensive game to start, so expansions might price this out of range for some people looking for less costly options if replay value isn’t there. Thoughts?

    1. Tammi – Part of the charm is definitely in the story, and that doesn’t change on subsequent replays, but the gameplay does. I’ve played the first chapter with multiple groups (probably at least 8 times, maybe more) so there’s replay there for sure. Given that it’s fully co-op, there’s not the same strategic sense of something like Descent or Star Wars: Imperial Assault, where there’s an “Overlord” type player controlling the bad guys. That said, it’s still great fun to go back and try out different hero combinations, complete optional side quests you may have skipped, and relive that adventure. I would say it’s worth the investment, especially if you can find it at a decent deal.
