This Legendary Edition of the game contains more than 40 quests, each taking 1-2 hours, split across four story arcs. Set in Mantic’s ever-expanding fantasy setting of Pannithor, players will choose their hero and customize their abilities and equipment, before setting off on an exciting dungeon-crawling game of combat and exploration.

Gameplay is intentionally fast, fun, and intuitive. Dungeon Saga Origins: Legendary Edition contains 96 highly detailed miniatures, including 6 heroes that are exclusive to this version of the game.   

This game has been designed with a wide audience in mind. The rules are intuitive enough for family gaming (from 10 years and up), but also support clever synergies by experienced players. Suggested difficulty modifiers are also included for those wanting a high level of challenge. While very playable and accessible, success will come from good decisions and teamwork, rather than just through good luck.

There are two ways to play the game:

1. With a traditional human Overlord, who controls the dungeon, traps and enemies. They can decide whether they want to run a game that is more challenging, or more casual, depending on the player group.
2. With an Overlord controlled by the game rules, and all the heroes controlled by human players.

Mission setup is very fast due to pre-assembled miniatures and large numbered dungeon tiles. Variety comes from changing the numbered tiles, their side/orientation, door placement and furniture placement. The tiles have a square grid to simplify measuring distances, defining line of sight, and item positioning.

There are post-game sequences for campaigns. Hero players are free to trade items, equipment and even gold between games if they wish as they prepare for their next adventure.
