I have been on the fence about getting this game or not. I have a solid gaming group and was considering purchasing this game for weekly Sunday Descent sessions.I have scoured over countless reviews and read this forum extensively. The more I read the more I am second guessing what at first was an automatic buy. I am looking for a solid dungeon crawl experience. Part of the appeal was the self contained campaign/story. I have played Drizzt and I own Dungeon Run.
My main concern is all this stuff I am reading about balancing issues for the various encounters and people "gaming" the system as the OL and throwing the first encounter. Also the fact that each encounter can be accomplished by just running to the objective.
I am not sure if I am being misguided by all the negativity that surrounds this game but I really want to enjoy it if/when I do purchase the game. Are these "issues" people have with the game exaggerated?
Does a well balanced, story driven, dungeon crawl experience exist outside of D&D? If so what should I check out.
