We got an early look at the 2023 WizKids board game.
What is Onslaught?
There are various scenarios your faction must complete.
The Heroclix mechanics come into play with ability or spell cooldown counters, experience tracking, and health.
While speaking with Davy, the purpose of playing like this is to keep the action moving.
It’s coming in January 2023 and will retail for $140.
Expansion:
First and foremost, this isn’t Warhammer.
This is not a pay-to-win scenario like most collectible games.
There aren’t $200 single game pieces you’re free to purchase that will destroy your opponents.
Onslaught doesn’t have large-scale minis nor does it have blindboxes.
When you buy a faction pack, you get exactly what you think you’re buying.
There are no surprises.
There are two Factions Packs planned for release in February 2023: Red Wizards and Many Arrows.
Both sets will retail for $60 each.
Meaning you’re able to download scenarios or other non-physical items to use with your physical game.
It wants to make the experience of D&D fun and accessible to everyone.
The set that was sent to me was a preview set, so it was very stripped down.
I wish I could have gotten a better idea of what were the differences between the scenarios.
I’m hoping it’s not just “Fight everyone and grab that item” for each one.
It’s different, and there is a ton of potential here.
Dungeons & Dragons: Onslaught launches January/February 2023.
