Reviewer John Woods for The Games Machine had not been impressed with the original game, feeling that the inherent randomness of events trumped any player skill. [5] In reviewing the Heroes for Dungeonquest expansion, he found it similarly flawed: "Whilst the game is fun to play a few times, there's very little depth to it and even worse no scope at all for cooperation or enmity between different PCs." He also questioned the relatively expensive price tag, and the inclusion of metal miniatures, which he surmised must be the reason for the high cost. [3]

Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a two to five player high fantasy dungeon crawl published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2005. Descent was designed and produced by Kevin Wilson. The game is based on an improved version of the mechanics of FFG's licensed Doom: The Boardgame. In Descent, players take the roles of adventurers who delve into underground complexes in search of treasure. One player takes the role of the Overlord, who controls the enemies and plays cards to hinder the hero players. Descent differs from other games in the genre in that the Overlord player's goal is to win by exhausting the other players of victory points, rather than merely to facilitate play. The Overlord's resources are limited by the rules of the game, which require them to hoard and expend "threat" points, which are generated in response to the hero players' actions, in order to hamper the other players and to bring out additional monsters to defeat them. This mechanism is very much reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings when playing with the Sauron optional expansion.
