Excellent
Excellent model for the price, especially for those who play the Terminator Genisys miniatures game as River Horse never managed to produce this model.

RPG-lite dungeon crawling adventure
Despite being set in a dungeon, this is game is NOT your typical dungeon crawler. In fact, it's a lite RPGish adventure that's set in a dungeon with an emphasis on combat.
Pros:
- Great components
- Great models (mostly based on, or taken from the Warmachines/Hordes tabletop miniatures)
- Solid gameplay system
- Decent story
- Innovative AI
- Each character plays very differently and all have a role to play
Cons
- Needs an FAQ as a few parts of the rules are unclear.
- Only 7 chapters in the campaign
- Only 4 heroes (5 with Doorstop but it's not like 5 players can play). More hero variety would've been better.
So-so
- The game board. It's not as nice as say FFG's Descent 2nd Ed. But then again, it doesn't need to be. When a game is as combat-focused as this, you want everything out of the way but the bare essentials. It works well for what it does.
TL; DR
Get it if you like
- pre-scripted adventures with various challenges in each chapter (vs. free form adventures like Myth)
- combat-focused games
- co-op games with smooth mechanics
- simple but effective character leveling-up in between scenarios
Don't get if you:
- are looking for a pure dungeon crawl like the D&D games. This is not it. There's no sense of exploration since the map is laid out before you, and there's hardly any loot to speak of
- want an RPG-like experience with lots of challenges and NPCs to interact with. This is mostly focused on combat
- want RPG-like character growth. There's some character building/leveling up, but it's very basic.
