As this game is story driven do replays suffer or become bland because you already know the story?

Replays will suffer a tad because it will be the same theme/story but there are new episodes you can add on. You can also raise the difficulty and use different mice for a new feel. Like most dungeon crawlers, your variety comes from your monster draw. One cool thing is the downloadable mp3 file that narrates the story for you. Check out the website.

Not really, using different mice, alternate strategies, finding different items and trying different upgrades makes for a different experience during the second or third run through. Also, with new expansions and micro expansions keeping things diverse and interesting.

First of all, there are 11 chapters in the base game. This means 11 minimum playthroughs if you were to actually successfully finish each one without losing (It's not a guarantee you'll win the first time). Second, you have 6 characters that play in a variety of ways and most chapters only allow 4 at a time so you could choose someone else to play as on subsequent playthroughs of already played chapters. Finally, Plaidhat (maker of the game) has 2 extra chapters for sale on their site for 99 cents for a total of 13 chapters. In my opinion, this game is a great addition if you are wanting a longer Descent style game to add to your shelf.

Quite a few people play through the game chapters and pass it on through sale or trade to another to enjoy.

It's story driven, but you can go online and find user created stories to change it up a bit. Also, painting the figures makes for a whole better atmosphere!!

My nine year old who plays it says, "I still love it." he doesn't play it constantly, though. Also good luck trying to teach it to grandparents!

oh definitely. Its just like playing other MMOs. You don't need a crew to help out. Most or the objectives have people around doing the same missions. There are some dungeon (kind of) modes, but you are able to solo most of them or just skip them. they are not even necessary for story play.

Sorry, haven't used it much to know for sure but there is a button for replaying all tracks. However, it would seem you have to press it after each cycle, according to the user manual.

It's not quite the same. There is officially no skirmish mode, but there are preset maps you can play against the AI without doing the story.

Sure you can. You will miss out on the story line from the beginning but you can still enjoy the game.

Yes, the murderer is always the same. You can only play the game one time (without knowing how it will end).

The only similarity there is that almost each game is a completely different story not related to precious games. Battle is not turn based, gameplay and graphics style are original on the series.

It helps but it is not necessary. Several aspects of the game are completely different, giving the game its own originality.

With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here. I've played a few times through the intro story and have even played the single player story, enjoying the game each time. I do feel that, if played on a regular basis, with the same crew, you may find yourself losing some of your desire to play but that is where the expansions come in. You can grab the Breakin' Atmo expansion on the cheap and add 50 new cards to the decks for a change of pace or get the Pirates and Bounty Hunters expansion for some player v player action as well. I just purchased all of the expansions except the latest one and cannot wait to play. Keep Flyin' With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here.

My son says the later games are less repetitious and more fleshed out. Hope that helps.

mehhh it all depends, i mean everything could go different the 2nd or third time but it can get repetitive, i'd say make up your own story and dungen using all the pieces which makes it more fun. I use this all the time when i do real DnD stories

there is a subtitle button under the #07 button. if there is a replay button, i don't remember which one it is, most likely because i don't use it.

Took me 13 hours to finish it, with breaks and I took my time exploring. It's not that long but the awesome part about the story is that it can be replayed many times differently.

definitely. the only real things that may feel the same is the overworld map being almost identical in a lot of areas and the overall playability. which isnt a bad thing. its very smooth and fun to play. the dungeons are all different. a lot of cool new puzzles and weapons etc. i think you'd have a lot of fun with this if you're a fan of the original.

Yes. Completely. Part of the fun is modifying the game as you play. But the other part is the fun risk gameplay. And in legacy the game never takes very long to resolve.

Not at all, the game does have some history based on the previous game but that doesn't matter to how you play at all and there it no character carry over like in mass effect. It will take you weeks to play all of the quests and find everything. Have fun!

Yes. You can play this game like the first. Just don't use the dragons, make a wake to stay on the board.
