About Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation
✦ AI summary
Lead a party of four unique D&D heroes through the deadly jungles and dungeons of Chult in a cooperative turn-based adventure to break a devastating curse. Each quest procedurally generates for fresh challenges every playthrough, while you collect loot, craft powerful gear, and master strategic combat against hordes of monsters and fearsome villains.
Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation is a turn-based dungeon-crawling game based on the Dungeons & Dragons Adventure System board games.
The Adventure System is a cooperative board game series that takes place within the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Your party of heroes work together as a team as you explore, fight monsters, and uncover magic treasure. The game itself runs the traps, events, monsters, and villains.
On the deadly peninsula of Chult, an adventuring party must fight their way through dangerous jungles, labyrinths and dungeons to find and reverse the cause of the death curse. Choose to play as one or more of the four adventurers (Artus Cimber, Asharra, Birdsong, and Dragonbait) to face many perilous challenges and deadly foes throughout the quest.
A former member of the Harpers, Artus Cimber is the keeper of the Ring of Winter. He found the ring in the jungles of Chult, where he also met his wife, Alisanda. His skill with a bow and arrow, as well as with a dagger is unequaled, making him a fearsome ranger. It goes without saying that the Ring of Winter has given Artus powers so strong he can freeze an enemy to death with the touch of a finger.
In Kir Sabal, Asharra is the leader of the Aarakocra community. Others refer to her as Teacher, and revere her as a living saint. Asharra is intelligent, ambitious, and somewhat manipulative, but never cruel or insensitive. Besides her leadership duties, Asharra is a powerful mage capable of handling even the most complex of spells.
Birdsong, a cunning young Tabaxi bard, learned to defend herself while enslaved by the Yuan-Ti. Proficient to play the lute, Birdsong discovered her potential as a bard when witnessing the effect her songs had on other slaves. After her escape, she became one of the greatest minstrels of Chult. She promised herself to, one day, get revenge on the Yuan-Ti who destroyed her village.
Dragonbait is a champion of good and a saurial - a race that originated on a distant world and whose members have long lives. Calm by nature, Dragonbait does not give the image of a dangerous foe, but once in combat, his training and precision makes him a devastating adversary.

[h1] Great strategy game with plenty of variety. [/h1]9 found this helpful
Played of and on since it came out. If you like the dnd boardgame experience, this does a great job of it. I Would go as far as to say a better job than the acutual boardgames. Very fun if you like the dnd boardgames.1 found this helpful
It's a shame this is no longer available for sale - it's a very straightforward (from a rules perspective) D&D romp with some wild (in a good way) player characters / heroes. It's not very long to get to the end but its nature is less about story and more about strategy, so there's some replayability here. If you can find a way of getting it, it's worth your time - BKOM did what looks like God's work on a shoestring budget, and it's worth returning to it if you have the chance. We're short on good games using the D&D license - this is one of them.1 found this helpful
DND is now for losers and not loser loser, dysgenic gender losers
Recommending / Positive, but only if you have played the D&D adventure boardgames and like those. This digital version nicely brings Tomb of Annihilation to PC, the animations and graphics have been done very well. This is NOT a D&D game in the same mould as Baldur's Gate. You do not create heroes, go through a story and make scenario altering choices. If that's the sort of game you're after you will not like this. The D&D adventure boardgames are typically a chill get out and play boardgame or often seen as stepping stone into dungeon crawler and D&D boardgames. Therefore a lot of the mechanics are quick and easy. The real boardgames are suitable for families and an audience 9+ The game itself....as you would in the adventure boardgames you have objectives to complete and you do that by selecting premade heroes, drawing tiles, throwing dice and battling monsters. Combat is simple dice rolls and picking card abilities appropriate for that action. You level up letting you gain more power cards to play and you'll find loot to aid you. You can still buy this game on various "external" websites even through Steam do not sell it. You do need to manually activate it. Again my positi…
I really like the physical versions of these D&D Adventure Games... and this is a direct port... but there is no UNDO button... or CONFIRM button. You do have the right mouse button to Cancel... but that is not enough. PLEASE update with an UNDO button It is really discouraging to move, then mistakenly move again instead of performing your action. The addition of an UNDO button would really make this game shine.
