Mantic’s Dungeon Saga 4th August Start Comes Ever Closer!
July 31, 2014 by brennon
Mantic Games' Dungeon Saga is coming to Kickstarter on August 4th this year and they have shown off some rather neat colour images of the heroes, another painted miniatures and a neat snap of the guys playing a version of the game!
One person takes on the role of the necromancer while the others play as the brave heroes looking to fight their way into the Dwarf King's Hold...for a quest...which is a Dungeon Saga. Either way see what you think of the colour versions of said heroes!
They all look very cool in colour and as you've seen in a little sneak peek during Warren's talk with Ronnie the miniatures are pretty awesome too. Of course once you get a look at the full finished heroes you'll be pretty blown away too. Talking of painted miniatures see what you think of the finished Skeleton Archer...
The Undead look amazing for this set and the sculpting has got a whole lot better through each of their Kickstarters and other game releases. You've seen one of the other skeletons before, and a zombie, and hopefully we'll get to check out the undead troll soon!
Is Dwarf King's Quest on your radar?

Dungeon saga looks pretty brutal, as Stewart shows off his stump. Hopefully the the bloody foot end will make an appearance in the kickstarter as a special pledge level ‘Gibbs Leg end’
Will be very keen to see where this goes when it hits KS, as a huge fan of the scifi terrain, I am hoping for plastic Dungeon saga walls and floor squares, as these would be great for all manor of games like SDE and skirmish based fantasy in dungeon areas, or maybe even used as movement trays in KoW! How awesome could that be?!
I can’t wait! I have my finger all warmed up and ready for clicking that Pledge Button on Monday (morning here, at 8:30am EST).
And yes, Broadside; I agree that some 3D terrain pieces like doorways and such would be awesome to add in.
I’m hoping more Warhammer Quest than Descent, fingers crossed.
I think you’ll be in luck 🙂
Here’s hoping – for all people go on about Descent I can’t really get into the game. Seems so insanely hard for the heroes 🙁 Maybe it’s just us?
I find Descent to be a bit of a turgid experience. The 2nd ed was an improvement but still a bit boring, awkward, and overlong. Ronnie has said that Mantic are going for a Heroquest/WHQ vibe with Dungeon Sagas.
Completely agree. Descent has got a lot of depth to it, but I don’t thnk is a particularly fun experience. It feels much to much like a competition ‘Vs’ game, and you don’t really get the feeling that you are playing through a narrative or story event, despite their efforts with maps and store visits and such like.
The reveals so far about this game do look much more promising though, the ‘abandon hope all ye who enter here’ certainly sounds like it could expand the lifespan of the game a lot!
Will be good if the figures are as good as the skeleton archer is.
Looking lovely! Roll on 4th August,
The Artwork is very sweet and has improved.
It seems to lack imagination, couldn’t we have had something more original than these 4 cliche heroes?
I like the look of the minis, seems to be a good standard. I haven’t had any experience of the material they’re using for these so hope it’s good to paint. The only thing which puts me off is its potentially not worth getting if it’s too similar to WHQ since I already have that.
This looks good! I don’t know what the final product will look like, my last experience with Mantic was tr… very bad. Have they said if these too will be done in China? I certainly hope not.
