Sword & Sorcery - Immortal Souls
S&S is a dungeon crawler with a pretty decent story driven narrative, the base game contains the first act with about 7 or 8 scenarios and there are a number of other expansions available to up the story content and expand on the enemies you face.
It uses action points to drive each turn with dice based rolls for combat.
there's an awful lot of stuff going on with stats and bonuses/penalties that affect the outcome so luck can be mitigated but it also increase the bookkeeping to the point that I recommend playing solo with no more than 2 heroes to keep it manageable.
pros:
decent gameplay
fun storyline
cost is not too obscene.
expansions available for extra content
acceptable setup/teardown time
enemy ai is pretty straightforward but abilities make each enemy play differently.
cons:
fair amount of bookkeeping during turns, easy to make odd mistake
story content is good but not tons of it, relies on replayability with other characters for value for money
minis are not always the best, some can be a bit bendy.
