Thread: Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition):: General:: Recommendation for a game like this

So I've been watching videos and reading reviews for this, and I like a lot of what I'm seeing. I like:

- The one vs. many player mechanic
- The idea of a campaign, with character progression and branching paths
- That it has been largely streamlined from the previous version

However, I am not particularly fond of:

- Generic fantasy settings

So is there anything comparable to Descent 2nd Edition but with a different setting? I'm a fan of sci-fi, historical, steampunk, cyberpunk, or pretty much anything other than "magic and dragons" fantasy.

I've played Doom: The Boardgame, and enjoyed it a bit, though it was definitely much more fiddly than this appears to be, and I think it'd be difficult for me to get that to the table with my medium-core group.

Is there anything out there for me, or should I just endure the giant spiders and dragons (yawn) and get this?
