Daniel (@dungeondive) previews Ballads and Tales, an indie skirmish-based board game set to relaunch on Kickstarter after an initial campaign. Positioned alongside games like HeroQuest, the game features 12 standalone scenarios with an optional expansion, Dungeons of Forbidden Necromancy, that adds grand adventure, travel, and campaign elements.
Daniel explains gameplay involving unique heroes, strategic equipment choices, dice-based combat, and interactive 3D maps. He highlights the standout hand-painted art by Valbona A. Asosa as a major draw and points out the game’s tactical depth, variety in heroes, and straightforward mechanics.
Despite not being affiliated with the project, Daniel shares his reasons for backing: the game’s indie nature, beautiful art, hero diversity, and potential for expanded gameplay. The preview is designed to help viewers decide if Ballads and Tales aligns with their tastes in strategic, art-rich dungeon crawlers.
