Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion
The classic and hit of recent years in the dungeon crawling genre was released in a version without throwing players into the deep.
We still play the role of mercenaries hungry for gold, experience and glory – the basic mechanics known from the basic Gloomhaven remained unchanged. The game is divided into scenarios during which we have to clear the rooms of enemies or destroy specific targets.
The biggest change to Jaws of the Lion is the tutorial, which stretches over the first five scenarios. We start with simplified rules and narrow choices. Enemies have basic attacks and we learn how each action works. Over time, the rules grow and we discover new dependencies. After going through a dozen or so scenarios, we play practically like ordinary Gloomaven and there aren’t many that surprise us.
Jaws of the Lion is given very good appetizer before the main course in the form of Gloomhaven or imminent strides Frosthaven .
