Ancient Chronicles, a new starting point for the game, is fully compatible with the original Immortal Souls campaign in terms of gameplay, allowing players to cross over heroes and monsters from one campaign to another. Gameplay remains familiar, but this new cycle also introduces new elements to the setting, expanding both the narrative engine and the mechanisms, without making the game more complex.
The Ancient Chronicles campaign is set in the distant past of the events narrated in the Immortal Souls campaign.
New features in the game:
Sword & Sorcery continues in the same vein as before but with some nice fixes and upgrades. Carrying capacity is much more restricted, as is access to the bazaar, and equipment has a minimum level to prevent characters from getting over-powered early on. There are fewer miniatures but all are unique, which makes them much nicer on the table (details are a bit better than Immortal Souls). The learning curve is a bit steep if you're new but this is still the most fun dungeon crawler, especially if you are solo. Quests are longer than before, and you need to also allow time for the new town and travel sections between quests, but I find these nice additions.
On the negative side, the enemy art on the cards isn't great but the miniature sculpts are fairly interesting and enjoyable to paint. Also, this is100% backwards compatible but not truly forwards compatible, as Immortal Souls lacks equipment levels and some of the treasures were overpowered. That being said, if you aren't super strict with rules as written, you can bring over whatever you like and make the game into whatever you like. If you want more of a challenge, the challenge set of enemies is a nice addition and has a guide for introducing them without breaking the game.
All said, this is a great follow up that builds on the strengths of the first season.
