Road to Legend

Road to Legend is the official companion app for Descent: Journeys in the Dark – Second Edition, transforming the traditional dungeon-crawling board game into a fully cooperative adventure. 

Why you need this app:

Designed by Fantasy Flight Games, this innovative app replaces the role of the Overlord, allowing all players to unite as heroes against the forces of darkness. With Road to Legend, you’ll embark on thrilling quests, explore the realm of Terrinoth in new ways, and experience the rich storytelling and strategic depth that Descent is known for — all through an engaging digital interface that guides your journey.

A New Way to Play Descent

At its core, Road to Legend reimagines Descent as a cooperative experience. Instead of one player acting as the villainous Overlord, the app takes control of the monsters, manages events, and narrates your adventure. This means every player can now join forces as heroes — exploring dangerous dungeons, solving mysteries, and overcoming deadly encounters together. 

Fully Integrated Digital Overlord

Road to Legend handles all the behind-the-scenes elements traditionally managed by the Overlord. It automates enemy actions, tracks turns and quests, and ensures balanced gameplay. This lets your group focus entirely on tactical decisions, teamwork, and narrative immersion.

Expansive Quests and Campaigns

Dive into a series of fully developed campaigns filled with branching storylines and dynamic challenges. Each quest feels unique — with randomized dungeon layouts, interactive objectives, and varied monster behavior that ensure no two sessions play alike.

Compatibility with Descent Expansions

Already own expansions for Descent: Journeys in the Dark? Road to Legend lets you integrate your physical expansions seamlessly, adding new heroes, monsters, items, and adventures to your digital campaigns. This makes your collection more valuable and extends the game’s replayability indefinitely.

Immersive Storytelling in Terrinoth

The world of Terrinoth is under siege. From the demonic Uthuk Y’llan barbarians to the undead legions of Waiqar the Undying, danger looms in every corner. As heroes, you’ll stand united to defend the realm, uncover secrets, and forge your own legend in an evolving campaign filled with peril and triumph.
