Wow! What a fantastic gift the makers of Talisman have given us! This takes you back to the beginning of the talisman world, with the creation of the crown of command and continues through the resulting havoc. There are 7 books, each with about 4-5 quests, and each quest has 6-7 challenges that you can accomplish once you have completed the original quest once. It is challenging without being too hard and going for the challenges can take some time and replays of each quest. Also, there is indication that there will be more content added in the future. So far I am on the 5th book and have thoroughly enjoyed the game. This is a single-player game, but occasionally the AI pops up to give you a bit of a challenge. Some faults with the game include slow AI action time (roll the dice already!), having to prolong a quest to find the right cards to meet a challenge, and not being able to
Basically this is Talisman Prologue but with much more bells and whistles. No longer feeling like a overblown demo for Talisman: Digital, we finally have a campaign system for a wonderful game. If they say you get a dollar an hours worth for a good game, then thousands of hours in Talisman would say that when I say this good, i mean it.
I worked for Games Workshop when the original board game was in development, and was one of the playtesters. Like 'the digital edition', this version is a sound implementation of the original. Unlike 'the digital edition', it plays very smoothly. The downside is that it's single player only.
An intriguing idea, a solo version of Talisman where you fight the monsters and gather the loot, but instead of doing it to beat other players, you do it to perform quests instead as you work through various stories. While you're not playing with other people, it's still a fun experience as you go around gathering power to complete the quests, and it definitely feels like playing Talisman. But, the game actually moves quicker, as you don't have to wait for other players to take their turns, as soon as your turn is done, you take your next turn. And as in the game, sometimes RNGesus will shower blessings upon you, and sometimes you'll curse RNGesus with every foul curse you can utter. But, if you have played Talisman you know that the secret is to take your time and amass as much power as you can before taking on the BBEG, and just hope RNG doesn't screw you before then. If you enjoy T
This was a tough one to call. Buying it on a steep discount, I feel like I got my money's worth. But I also really don't feel like putting more time into it. Each chapter in your wizard or warrior's story starts you out with almost nothing, so there's no role-playing aspect. Yet you will spend a lot of time shuffling back and forth between tiles that simply draw encounter cards, to collect gear and vanquish enough scrub-tier enemies to boost your stats with trophy points. All for the confrontation with that chapter's boss. Then do that over, and over, and over again. So you're getting the grinding that characterized many classic "adventuring" games, like Puzzle Quest, Diablo, or the old Magic the Gathering PC titles, without any sense of progression outside of the single-iteration quest you're playing at any given moment. If you're already intrigued by it, or have a ton of nostalgia f
Follow our curator page: IndieGems if you like and want to see more reviews like this one. Talisman: Origins takes the story behind the Talisman board game through single-player campaigns using quests and challenges. The game is rather confusing to a beginner player of the board game, that's for sure. I had very little experience with the board game, and so I worked my way through the tutorial before embarking on the adventures available. There are two tutorials, a basic one and an advanced one. If you are new to the board game, I think that you should make your way through the first tutorial, start but not finish the second (advanced) tutorial, before heading into the main adventures. The first tutorial lasted about 1/2 hour or so, the advanced tutorial took me about 2.5 hours. Sure, you will learn plenty more by playing through the tutorial, but most of that learning is from playing,
