Dungeon Saga Versus HeroQuest – Has Mantic Mastered The Dungeon Delve? #OTTWeekender
January 17, 2025 by avernos
It's OTTWeekender time! In this week's show, we dive into some of the awesome new expansions for Mantic Games' Dungeon Saga Origins and ask whether or not their dungeon-delving offering has eclipsed the powerhouse that is HeroQuest. Has Mantic mastered the dungeon delve and put the old favourite in its place?
We go through what we like about Dungeon Saga Origins and the changes that Mantic has made to the game to make it more inviting, and friendlier to families and younger gamers ALL whilst keeping it modern with up-to-date mechanics and ideas rather than rehashing old ones. Are you a Dungeon Saga Origins fan or a HeroQuest fan looking for something new?

You’re very kind to extend terrain fest. I fear my project is beyond hope of adequacy even with the extension. Real life is a dick.
