Overall, Dark Quest 3 offers a satisfying mix between playing a video game and playing a tabletop RPG. While the mix between tactical combat and randomness can be a bit frustrating, every adventure ends up being a unique and fun experience that has us craving more. Even when the game had us start from cratch many times, we came back for more.

A message from the Elder
"Heed my warning well, friends. A new evil has risen in the East. A power-hungry sorcerer of chaos magic is laying siege to the realm. That is why I called you here. You are heroes, one and all. And without you, all hope is lost. You will face untold challenges you may not survive, and old alliances will need to be rebuilt to stand a chance. I will guide you as best I can, but the rest is up to you."
What is it?
You start the game at hero camp where you must create your party and then go on journey throughout the world by choosing different areas. Choose each area based on your party’s strengths and weakness, draw adventure cards, roll dice, fight monsters and reach the chaos castle to defeat the sorcerer and his magic.

Critic reviews
- Dark Quest: Board Game is not a great board game, nor is it a great computer game. While the atmosphere and art are amazing, the gameplay is not. There is a huge aspect of randomness that feels unfair and it also causes a lot of frustration. It is an okay game to play mindlessly when you’re looking for something in this specific genre, but we can’t see ourselves getting invested in this game for a longer period of time.
- 5.0Because as Dark Quest: Board Game stands at this particular moment, it is, quite simply, a boring game to play. There’s not much going on, and the pretty aesthetic is not going to keep you playing it for more than an hour or so (unless you really force yourself) or listen to podcasts in the background while you wait for something in the oven to finish cooking so you can, at last, have something of more substance to consume when you finish playing.
- 7.0Dark Quest 3 è quel tipo di rpg-card-board-game che non ti aspetti, o almeno non del tutto, l’evoluzione dai suoi predecessori è nettissima e il feeling che produce giocando è più intenso di quanto si possa immaginare guardando qualche filmato. È tostissimo e picchia davvero duro, ma regala anche momenti di gioia e non solo tensione. Non fa sconti, ma quando si iniziano a sbloccare nuovi elementi del party, più complessi da gestire, ma con maggiori sfumature, allora ci si accorge che la struttura in sé è anche solida.
