Our take on Terrinoth®: Heroes of Descent
The game replaces a single continuous adventure with a company of heroes, four Chapters, and self-contained Missions intended for one-night sessions. Its board-game-inspired structure also allows additional players to enter during a dungeon, rather than requiring the group to begin together.
What is Terrinoth®: Heroes of Descent?
Lead a group of adventurers through Terrinoth in a turn-based tactical RPG based on the Descent board game series.
Its original prequel story spans four Chapters, divided into self-contained Missions.

Choose from eight adventurers, develop their skills and perks through leveling, and upgrade equipment at the Forge.
