Is Dark Souls: The Board Game – The Sunless City a Letdown or a Must-Have for Fans?

Diving into the revamped edition of this much-awaited board game, but is it worth the price tag?

Hey folks, let’s talk about the new Dark Souls board game drop, The Sunless City. Steamforged Games went back to the drawing board after some serious hiccups in their first release. Now, this new version claims to fix all that jazz.

The gist is: if you’re totally new to this scene or you collect hardcore, it might be up your alley. But if you’ve been rolling through Lordran for a while, brace yourself for more of the same old letdown.

New stuff, or Recycled Content?

The Sunless City’s got a 2.0 update, new miniatures, and three boss battles. But, hold your Estus flask, ‘cause if you’ve already got the OG version, there’s not much to shell out for here. Steamforged’s only thrown in some conversion cards and updated rules for download. No physical upgrades for you!

The real kicker? The price hike. You’re almost dropping the same cash for less gear. Plus, good luck finding the older versions—they’re like trying to farm for rare loot.

But, hey, if you’ve never set foot in Lordran’s chaos, this might be your ticket. The Sunless City packs in the thrill of Dark Souls’ tough-as-nails fights and all that sweet, sweet loot. It’s a steal for fresh faces.

If you’re into pre-orders, hop onto Steamforged’s site before Jan 31st, 2024. Otherwise, mark Feb 14th on your calendar for the full release.

So, is The Sunless City worth it? Well, that depends on your loot-hungry soul.
