### 4/5 — Komplett Vertonung wäre schön.

*2026-06-08*

Lesen stört. Kleine Filme, animierte Szenen oder komplett Vertonung wäre schön.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2026-05-31*

Sound is up on both my phone and iPad and no sound from the app

### 1/5 — SERVERS ARE NOT WORKING

*2026-05-15*

We bought 2 games descent and can not to play finally mission because servers are turned off!!! Scammers! Don’t by this game never!

### 1/5 — Cancelled the Game

*2026-04-10*

So they just decided to cancel Act 3. There will be no more support for the game or this app. Nice one FFG. Another game ruined by Asmodee and their drive to make all games card based. They could have at least released a DLC in the app to finish Act 3, and not any physical materials. Really poor from a developer with a worsening reputation.

### 1/5 — No puedo iniciar partida

*2025-04-12, version 2.0.7*

Al escribir el nombre de mi grupo, le doy a continuar y se escuchan los tambores. Pero ahí se queda.... 170€ de juego para que ahora me quede así

### 2/5 — Login nicht möglich

*2025-04-06*

Leider kein Login möglich - Serverprobleme

### 3/5 — Ну такое

*2025-01-27*

Не понятна суть этого приложения. Ходы своих персонажей нельзя указывать, куда противник двигается тоже. Для чего нужно «сохранение», если в любом случае нужно фоткать весь прогресс, Как работать со шмотом, тоже не понятно, ты его получаешь, но в приложении выдать не понятно где, где вообще можно. Также нет звука никакого, на андроиде и на пк есть

### 5/5 — Descent legends of the dark

*2024-06-01*

Excellent app. It’s a great balance for the players and tablet. Players keep track of their character cards, skills, damage, sweat and card flipping. The app keeps track of treasure, receipes, weapon upgrades and so forth. Also, shows line of sight, monster and hero location. The app also allows for terrain interaction. Very smooth app. Very well thought thru. The minis are very detailed and the 3-d terrain adds great detail to the game. It’s an awesome game thru and thru. Awesome job.

### 5/5 — Gran juego

*2024-02-22, version 2.0.6*

El nivel que ha a alcanzado FFG con este juego es muy alto. Tras un Viajes por la Tierra media que esta en mi Top10 de todos los tiempos, llego este titulo que se le gana en casi todos los aspectos:

La aplicación trabajada a unos niveles muy altos, con una narrativa a la altura para justificar que cada escenario sea muy distinto al anterior, con sincronización en la nube por fin para poder usar el dispositivo que quieras en cada momento y que tu partida se mantenga (ojalá lo implementen en el JiME esta función también) y POR FIN el manual dentro de la aplicación, un gran acierto. Se nota la madurez de FFG en crear juegos de mesa con soporte digital.

Sobre el juego de mesa: pues muy divertido, espectacular escenenografia que crea una inmersión total en las partidas.

Punto negativo: me sobran mucho mucho las proezas de fuerza, al jugar en solitario te quedas en desventaja que en partidas con grupos de 4 que tienes el doble de personajes con los que desbloquear los objetos y habilidades de dichas proezas, no me gusta este sistema. Al menos debería escalar según el numero de jugadores o algo así

### 4/5 — Bien pero con fallos

*2024-01-13, version 2.0.5*

La app para jugar bien pero es un rollo que ahora ya no suena nada de sonido
